[ToffeeDoug]

Absolutely agree mate. You are more perspicacious than I first gave you credit.

Tea cup....is that another final we missed out on?

Compare and Contrast

Vitor, Vitor! With all this talk of a big name manager part of me is disappointed that we are never going to give this comparatively unknown guy a chance. Would I rather have "safe pair of hands" Pellegrini or potential up and coming genius and potential cult hero and character Vitor Pereira? I am not sure, frankly...

This is pure speculation on my part, but I remember when Moyes was sacked by United it was left until it was mathematically impossible for them to qualify for the Champion's League. This had been one of his key targets for the season and once it could not be achieved they could get rid of him at a reduced compensation rate and have a firm reason for his dismissal in case of any legal complications. The same may be true for Martinez, although with lower targets I would imagine. Maybe one of his key targets was finishing in the top half of the table, which it is still possible for us to do. With Moyes I think United could get away with paying him only part of his remaining contract because the agreed targets had not been met, so us waiting for a similar situation to arise with Martinez could end up saving us a few million, and in football money is king.

May be a good theory that.

I know for a fact, Everton 'financially' target 11th place every season

Pellegrini has stated he'll make no announcements until after his CL campaign has concluded.

I think that Pellegrini has been incredibly dignified and utterly professional about the whole replacement situation. At this moment I have great respect for him and I hope he becomes our next manager.

It would seem that our board is all cooks and no head chef!

There might be one mate...

Anything on the fridays suggested board meeting or was it jarg

Would imagine it's jarg mate, considering since Sunday we've been having a board meeting every day according to different people.

We've all seen this haven't we?

Absolutely frightening statistics, I can't believe the easy time from the media he's had to be honest. It's only in the last week or so they've cottoned on to how bad it is. We really must be irrelevant.

Yea, what a mess

I'm fleeing Merseyside for the weekend, partly glad I won't be there on Saturday.

I'm glad his little girl is probably too young to pick up on the absolute hellstorm he's going to endure from men and women who once thought so much of her Father, and have totally lost faith in his words and his actions.

It's going to be painfully embarrassing and uncomfortable.

Maybe, maybe not. Kenwright is stubborn and is keen to keep with the manager through bad times. Wouldn't be surprised he told Moshiri and Martinez it will blow over and new signings will be coming in the summer and players will be leaving. Fresh start.

I doubt that very much: it will be flat, sullen and apathetic, generally speaking. Until Bournemouth score, that is...
