Martinez on Moshiri - “We're looking forward to the chemistry (he has) with the fans."

I know English isn't the mans first language, but he does talk some utter drivel at times.

Wow. Just wow.

So with an entire squad overhaul, new style of play and hardly any cash to spend on players + youth being developed you think we should bs top 6 ?

Which of these teams would be below us:

spurs
arsenal
chelsea
utd
leicester
city
wham
liverpool

Theres on paper the top 8. Then add in stoke whove spent more money backed by the billionaire coates fanily and you have a top 9.

The irony is that if Martinez had the money these clubs had to spend he would have us top 6.

?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

Lukaku cost £28m, not £28k. McCarthy was £13-16m wasn't he? Those two transfer fees are more money than Moyes saw in the last 5 years.

And it's not like we play a youngster every other game. We played Galloway because we HAD to, the rest haven't even been on the bench, so I like how they're developing in the U21s until they get sold to Conference teams again.


*Remembers John-Paul Kissock.

Leicester, West Ham, Utd and Liverpool. We are a decent manager away from competing with Spurs.

Next?

Could Rafael Benitez be Newcastle's gain - and Everton's loss?
The ECHO's Head of Sport ponders on a possible missed opportunity at Goodison
JS65214899.jpg

This didn't go so well for Rafael Benitez - but was one of the few places where he didn't bring silverware
In the summer of 2013, four weeks before Everton went down the road to replace David Moyes as manager – I tentatively suggested an appointment even closer to home.

Here's an abridged extract of that column...

What kind of qualities would Blues fans like to see in any new Everton manager?

A trophy-winning pedigree would be nice. Obviously.

Ideally he’d be out of contract – to avoid any transfer pot being diminished by compensation claims.

He must want the job, of course.

Ability to settle in the area would be an advantage.

Steve McClaren and Newcastle hasn't been a good mix


And ideally he would have the ability to win matches at Anfield.

Step forward the man who fits the bill in every single category, yet still features below Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Dougie Freedman and Gus Poyet in the betting.

Rafael the Gaffer for Everton?

Clearly Señor Benitez would have to accept that perhaps Everton isn’t as small a club as he once thought.

But his Europa League success on Wednesday night was, impressively, the fourth successive club he’s brought silverware to.

Would Everton even consider the claims of a manager who is clearly a winner?

Probably not.

If so, it would be their loss and somebody else’s gain.

Napoli was the next club to benefit from Benitez's tactical acumen. And predictably he brought even more silverware – an Italian Cup and Italian Super Cup.

That earned him his dream job – and the only time he failed to land silverware for a club in the last 15 years … although he was only in charge at Real Madrid for seven months and his Copa Del Rey bid bizarrely ended in disqualification.

Now Newcastle United look likely to be the next football club to test Benitez's Midas touch.

If Rafael Benitez can end Newcastle United's near half-century trophy drought he really will be a managerial magician.

And Everton will most definitely have missed out.

Martinez will hope what goes around comes around on Saturday
The Chinese call it Yin and Yang.

Evertonians prefer the more prosaic Sod's Law.

It's the immutable principle that when their beloved Blues get things right off the pitch, it all goes Pete Tong on it.

And Blues fans have just endured the perfect example of that law.

Everton's powerbrokers enjoyed an outstanding week.

The long-standing search for investment finally came good when Bill Kenwright unearthed a man with nine years' experience of Premier League football, and more money than the Queen.

Then five days before the Premier League were pressured into announcing a cap on away ticket prices, Everton reduced their own season ticket prices for next season.

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright and chief executive Robert Elstone deserve praise


Of course they could afford to. In four years, Everton's media rights have soared from £50m a year to £130m.

But so has everyone else's. And still Everton were the only Premier League club to argue for a cap on ticket prices for away fans in early February.

The Premier League finally buckled on Wednesday.

Everton's self-proclaimed People's Club moniker, a tag which winds up so many rival fans, was, in this instance, entirely appropriate.

And the maligned Bill Kenwright and Robert Elstone deserved to bask in some deserved praise.

All it needed was a third successive win – a sixth in seven games – to prompt even the Bluest of Blue Meanies to break into a smirk.

And then, well. You all know what happened next.

But hey, there's another well known idiom - “what goes around comes around.”

Roberto Martinez has spouted so much positivity as Everton manager, could he finally get his reward tomorrow?

Heaven knows, he needs it.

Agreed.

Benitez, Jose, Moyes....different levels of more or less the same thing. Control freaks with more interest in the result and their role in it than the actual sport itself.

I understand why people would want the first two. Trophies. Fine. I personally don´t want to watch any more of that stuff after all those seasons of moyesball. Maybe the current boss will end up being shown the door and be seen as a failure but I´d definitely like somebody more on his side of things than the options above.

That's what happens when you give a chimpanzee a keyboard.

FFS, the plagiarising hack has just about surpassed himself there. Benitez.

Keep putting your finger on the pulse of Evertonians "Prenno".

Nobhead.
