Or he-man's grandpa

...lol

Happy that he will be gone until I hear "moyes'. If we take him back we might as well give up altogether as fans . He did the absolute dirt on us with the Mancs and the one thing Roberto got right this month was his "10 years comment" . Massive no no for me and huge step backwards. Let moyes go to Celtic. That's his level and maybe his first signing can be mcgeady ... Feel a banner coming - Moyes Out !

So what's the latest?

Nothing has changed.

Pink Floyd then perfectly summed up the Everton Way.

Quiet desperation is the Everton way.

Dark Side Of The Moon, a perfect soundtrack to Everton Football Club since 1990.

@ijjysmith how are you getting on with that video mate? I hope it's depressing.

I completely forgot till I saw that post.

I might put the derby on again and listen to it in the background on loop.

Here's my take on the situation this morning for what it is worth.

Nothing has changed in terms of the big picture, ie that Martinez will not be managing us beyond the end of the season, and most likely not managing us this weekend. We have and continue to talk to very high quality candidates to replace him, as discussed previously, and that process continues.

It's a big day for the city, and Everton will be represented by many of its senior officials at the Hillsborough events today. Thus it's the perfect day to conclude what ever Martinez business needs concluding with all or most present.

Assuming the above, will news be released today? That's a tricky one to judge, if so it's going to be later in the day after the Hillsborough events have occurred (I'm not sure of their precise timings). Alternatively it may be released in the morning prior to the pre-match press conference with whoever is the interim or caretaker manager taking that.

If for whatever reason, the decision is that Martinez continues to the end of the season, then so be it - it will be uncomfortable and give room to those that doubt the ambitions of the board and Moshiri. Even if this was the case (which I doubt) I'm very comfortable with the plans and ambitions he has, for the summer and the development of the club generally.

Many thanks for the update - most appreciated

Do you think that the club will announce he is leaving by the end of the season if not now? Silence as you can imagine would just cause unrest and with the talks of protests scattered about the place the club must have some wind of that. Last thing the club would surely want is to have the fans protesting at home games for a manager they intend to get rid of anyway?

Think the general message for the fan base is just the club talking to them. If he is going next month then so be it, just communicate that with the fans, if not sacking him immediately. So much hostility and unrest could be spared by getting a message out there rather than simply waiting and sitting on our hands in the fans eyes.

Unless RM's departure is "by mutual consent " it is virtually impossible to tell the fans that he will remain in charge but be sacked at the end of the season.

Again, reassuring. Thank you.

That is what i mean, are the club going to tell the fans this before the game on saturday because right now there is talks of protests and planes and whatever else simply to get rid of Martinez.

If the board are indeed sacking Roberto, and as esk says, they have made that decision already. Then why not tell the fans what is happening , and perhaps you won't see any unrest come saturday. Play a few kids with the news that he is going at the very least and the atmosphere would increase dramatically.
