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

[billytoffee]

Everton fans have varied views between themselves on what's the best way, that's why the fan base is so fractured

More fractured than Evil Knievel trying to jump over 50 buses on a BMX bike - very sad times - hopefully much better to come and SOON please!!

Saturday is not going to be pleasant

Agreed- I dread to think what will happen if we concede an early goal. I can't decide whether to go or not truth be told.

Tickled me too!

That could be a debate worthy of its own thread - why is it a dressing room at a footy club - its not in school or when you take your kids to the baths, or in the park footy clubhouse they are all changies???

Changies was what I was thinking of, when I played footy we used to say 'changies'

I think team spirit has been on the decline since they did away with the big communal bath. If you won a trophy you used to get a bird in there too. English bird usually.

Heads being lost all over the shop here.

He's gone, it doesn't matter that he'll be here for a nothing fixture vs Bournemouth

We are VERY lucky Bournemouth are already safe. Still, Wilson is coming back from injury and will still cause us problems if he starts.

Ha. Worried about getting beat by Bournemouth. State of me eh.

I am loving this comment, if I did not know any better I would have said `phenomenal`

Why do people say "It's not Everton" to sack a manager? Of course it is, we've been doing it for generations.

When i was a kid it was a running joke - Harvey, Kendall, Walker, Royle, Kendall again and Smith all came and went in the space of about 10 years. Just because Moyes stayed a long time doesn't mean it's a club tradition. He stayed because in the main he was producing results that the board and the majority of fans were happy with, so sacking him made no sense. Not the same now by a long shot. Liverpool never used to sack managers, but they do now. United had the same bloke for 30 years, but look likely to sack 2 in the 3 years since he left.

I can't believe he's lasted this long, but no way he'll be here come July. If he is, there'll be at least one less season ticket holder next season, because there's no chance i'll be going to watch a team that's seemingly accepted a slide into oblivion.

Why do I have this horrible feeling that our new manager is going to be moyes. Only just thought this today, he's getting far to much coverage

I actually miss not being in the top 7, what has martinez done to this club.

 

[turner]

They cut the audio at the start, so you might not have been able to hear it, but did anyone else see this person following Martinez into the press conference?

Or;
The Candidate is still employed, he may not even live local. He can't do what many of us can when getting an Interview, throw a sickie or nip off early.

My biggest issue here is not what is happening to Martinez but what happens in the Summer if we do sack him.....I hope they have someone ready to take over straight away as I would hate to miss out on new players because we delay appointing someone 2 weeks before the season kicks off....A lot of transfers are already being negotiated and if they are sacking RM we will be too far behind other clubs
