If he doesn't get sacked in the aftermath of a 70 hour sequence that saw us lose to our bitter rivals by a landslide and then lost the biggest game of our season via yet another late goal, no pointless defeat to Bournemouth will convince them.

Yeah just dead fed up with Martinez don't know what else to do

You're blaming the demise of Howard and Distin and the injury records of our full backs on the manager?
Come on mate.

Well there's a reason I didn't do maths at school.

Say now August 10th comes, and he's still manager of Everton - would you guys give him another chance, or would the boo'ing be immediate?

If anyone is still harbouring the view that it's business as usual at Everton re Martinez, just consider that there's not a single piece of Everton media either about or featuring him since the very brief and obligatory post match interview.

I wouldn't have the energy to boo at that point. I'd probably be a cricket fan.

You are a tease mate!! As I say not sure where you hear things but I am hanging on every word, as I said what I heard over weekend but hoping that was a wind up

Moyes was a very good manager. I don't think I've ever stated otherwise (sober anyway!). I didn't like the brand of football though, that's just me.

From those players you listed, let's talk about his second season, the beginning of his "failings".
Fellaini had gone purely because he wanted to.
Pienaar- previous season stayed relatively fit.
Baines- struggled for consistency, had a niggling ankle problem
Coleman- regular little problems
Howard- became awful overnight.
Distin- same
Jelavic- already gone because he was nowhere near top 7 quality. Couldn't hit a barn door.
Gibson- never fit
Naismith, sure, played well.
Kev- good season.

So, not being arsey, it seems clear that at beginning of season 2 he thinks he has an experienced back 5, never injured, and has retained his 15+ goalw striker. He also has a playmaker at LM who can help against more defensive teams with osman as back up.

That second season went horribly wrong and with limited finances being spent on Lukaku, I don't know what he was expected to do about it?

This summer he potentially has an open cheque book. No more spreading funds. Go out and buy quality.

Id like to see him given the opportunity, personally.

Howard aside (and he didn't pick himself btw) the issue wasn't with the personnel at all, it was to do with the complete lack of defensive drilling and his gung Ho tactics.

We don't even practise defending set pieces ffs.

He doesn't deserve another day let alone another season, he's failed and I can't believe people are still supporting the idea of that failure

So what you are saying is no news is good news.

I am content.
