Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[COYBL25]

I can't decide which is worse.

Tennis balls or hankies.

Tennis balls wrapped in hankies ?

It's a bit vague though, no date or source ?

Multiple journos reporting it now, Hunter and Joyce getting it out at the same time.

Briefed by the looks of it.

This is it folks

I think if such a meeting takes place then afterwards a statement needs to be made and there are three options either he's leaving immediately, at the end of the season or he's staying next season. I think the middle option may allow a reasonable reception for him in the last two home games. Let's not forget he gave us some really good moments that first season and a few nice nights last season in the Europa League. However he has to go by the end of the season and the lack of action or communication from the board is making everything worse than it needs to be.

21st minute tennis balls to send a message to Osman that we hate him as well. Great idea.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Tennis balls it is then. 21st minute to symbolise 21 years without a trophy. Tennis balls to symbolise the board not having the balls to move the club forward.

Or because we always lose those damn five setters?

Everton board to meet and discuss future of Roberto Martínez this week

*sighs

Roberto Martínez’s position as Everton manager will be discussed this week by the club’s board of directors, with the Catalan struggling to save his three‑year tenure at Goodison Park.
Martínez, 42, insisted he was the right man for the job and that Everton were close to challenging for trophies after their stoppage-time defeat by Manchester Unitedin the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday. But with dissent growing among some of the supporters, Everton directors will convene to discuss the manager’s future.

Everton’s chairman, Bill Kenwright, is renowned for his loyalty towards managers and was filmed speaking in glowing terms about Martínez before the semi-final at Wembley. But Kenwright is no longer the club’s major shareholder after the British-Iranian billionaire Farhad Moshiri acquired a 49.9% stake in February and changed the make-up of the Goodison board.
Moshiri is not an Everton director but has appointed a long-term associate, the financier Alexander Ryazantsev, as his representative on the board. The chief executive, Robert Elstone, also became an Everton director after Moshiri’s investment and along with the long-time director Jon Woods and Kenwright, they will hold talks over the manager’s future before the Premier League game against Bournemouth on Saturday. Woods left his seat in the directors’ box at Anfield in the 60th minute of the 4-0 defeat against Liverpool last week.

Martínez had admitted the Merseyside derby and United Cup tie amounted to a defining week for Everton and it yielded a shambolic display at Anfield followed by a second semi-final defeat of the campaign. With the team 11th in the Premier League, having won only nine of 34 matches and recorded Everton’s lowest points total at Goodison on the basis of three points for a win, the manager has been subject to angry protests in recent weeks.
Martínez is, at this stage, expected to be in charge for Bournemouth’s visit for what may become a divisive occasion. Some fans have taken to social media to propose various forms of protests at Goodison such as a mass walk-out or waving white handkerchiefs, the traditional show of disapproval in Spain.

All you're guaranteeing is a mass security search and confiscation really. If they won't let you take a bottle to your seat with the cap on, they won't let you in with a tube of tennis balls.

Funny though!

Cheers, makes you wonder why the club have let him continue to spout even more nonsense than usual since the semi ?
