Plenty of posters said they didn't want him in charge even if we won the cup- I recall that. Two weirdos said it would be acceptable if we lost as at least it mean we were shut of our beloved Bobby.
If you'd of asked me after any of the ponderous turdfests we've witnessed at home, I'd of sold my mum if it meant him getting fired, but want Everton not to get into a final?! Never.
That's definitely the case - I'm one of them. But that's a very different statement.
As you say, it doesn't matter how extreme your view of Martinez is, I doubt you'd find one Evertonian who actively wanted us to lose that semi-final to get rid of Martinez. So that's why I'm calling that statement out for what it is - an obvious lie.
