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

[blue to the bone]

Im afraid thats my reading into it

We may as well just get behind his beliefs as it wont make any difference, and Im sick of going to a negative Goodison Park. May as well be supportive and hope for the best and he flukes it

Keeping himself in the shop window
Hes done here

 

[TheHumbleEgg]

Or else trying to.keep himself in the shop window for another job

BINGO.

 

[blue_order]

The man is as stubborn as a sod

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Be interesting to know who sanctioned the Carragher interview.. Martinez or Everton

Everton can't exactly ban him from talking about himself in a interview mate.

After reading it he's just trying to boost his profile in an appeal to stay / for his reputation. He will still get binned off he's blatantly worried about it.

I take it you have read The Mirror interview also ?

The guy loves Everton, he is one of us. Don't forget that.

CARRAGHER: Your team has been criticised for the goals you have conceded, leads being thrown away. When it happens do you concentrate on working with the back four for a week or do you just think that is one part of the game?

MARTINEZ: We are not going to be a team that is just going to be solid, that keeps a clean sheet and waits for a chance to score. We have been built to take control of the game, to break teams down from open play. That is something I get a real joy from.

CARRAGHER: But does that not change in the game at times?

MARTINEZ: Yes, but that is game management. That is making certain decisions that you shouldn't throw those leads away. The modern trend now in football is to work on being very organised and hitting teams on the counter.

That is the easiest and most economical way of playing. You don't get hurt. I don't want to be like that.

As a manager, I will never look away from the style I want.

CARRAGHER: Do you not think you get better results playing like that?

MARTINEZ: Certainly, it is easier.

CARRAGHER: But why would you not do that then?

MARTINEZ: The level of your team will give you a certain level. You will never over-achieve, you will never win silverware. That is a choice. I respect every style.

?????????????????????????????????????????

Given that it's at finch farm the club would have surely sanctioned it.

But an interview in the Daily Mail or Mirror sugests nothing about the intentions of the clubs heirachy ultimately?

 

[Paul w]

If your his chairman and you read that.....it's like wot the ....

 

[blue_order]

Also, who are those two other people in the shot. Is one of them bobby's agent or anything like that? Or do they just work for the paper?

Everton are his employer. Everton can prevent an interview on the Everton Training ground

WOW. Stubborn and deluded.

He accepts no criticism, his arrogance and ego about his (failed) philosophy is almost comical. What kind of Manager can speak in these terms when he's just secured our worst ever home league record? He goes on about our away stats as if they're amazing, when they're actually just about what you'd expect.

I can see how his deluded optimism wins the gullible/'romantic' Kenwright over, but I'm sure billionaire Moshi will be telling him to sling his hook very shortly.

They're just not going to do that though.

 

[ah11984]

So embarrassing how he is clinging onto that second half performance v United.

 

[matty1878]

And bang there is another piece which adds to my thoughts that he is staying

He's not staying mate. He's not our manager come summer
