18? 18 ffs

for some reason the man can't see this, and still spouts about it being the right way to play.

Every way is the right way to play if you have the money/players, some belief and a bit of luck.

The intensity of his tactics have totally changed from the first season especially off the ball. Time and time again he says he is trying to understand the club and it's fans. He mustn't be even trying. If he did he would know 100% without any doubt everton players need to to be willing to get stuck in and standing off is not tolerated .he doesn't so no to be honest I feel no pity.

Likewise, but one of the things that did me were his pre and post match interviews essentially no matter what he tried to say but treating the fans as nonenties and having no idea, his chats were patronising to say the least.

This is a myth. He has £16m (in average) net spend per season while Moyes had around £1.5m-£2m per season and still done better in the league.

Either way, think it is counter productive to compare spends from different eras. Well it is interesting, but not a reason to use it as a stick to beat a manger with, or to defend one.

Rom would not have cost £28m 8 years ago.

Ok, no 14 year old would have, but you get the point!

But if you have taken 2 teams backwards (relegated one of them) after you took them over....................................

How bobby managed to get 18 votes is a mystery

I get what you mean. What I want to show is Martinez did have resources available to him, unlike some poster said he had no money to spend and that is why we can't complete and languishing in 11th.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

I've said it a few times mate: you dont get sacked from this club with midtable finishes and Wembley appearances. No matter how much a bunch of whingers stamp up and down it doesn't change a thing.

Moshiri is backseat. I cant imagine him meddling in football decisions until he's laying down some serious cash investment into this squad...whenever that arrives.

Ooops

I think you'll find mate, that LouReed was being sarcastic.

 

[USABlue]

still don't get the moyes/martinez debate, they both had their chance here and it hasn't worked out. moyes was too defensive while martinez was the opposite. both had flaws that prevented them from success ( you need a balance). Hopefully whoever comes next can find it.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Not at all.

The matter is settled. Kenwright is fully behind the manager and he'll be here next season.

I know that doesn't go down well, but it is nevertheless the truth.

The truth eh?

Nope lol

Nah I was not refering to LouReed.

Oh sure. He has been supported cash wise.
