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

[longers]

Forget about him keeping this job. Who in their right mind will hire him for his next job?

could do a better job abroad i reckon, not cut out for premier league management imo

It's gone beyond the stage where I feel anger for him, and just embarrassment and shame that his incompetence is being drawn out for all the press to see and those crap 'banter' sights like sportsbible. Absolutely nothing is being achieved by prolonging this situation. Should have gone after the semi-final

 

[hktoffee]

Ok, so I want him gone but I hold no grudges or wish any bad karma towards Martinez. To throw him into the lion enclosure on Sunday would be nothing short of disgraceful. £2M (or £3M whatever it is) or not, just bring it to an end. Let him leave with dignity.

He failed - so shoot him. Most of us saw it a long time ago - but Kenwright made himself look the utter tw*t that he is with that "What a Manager" quote. He is behind all this sorry mess - at any other club this would have been acted upon months ago. I don't care how much of an Evertonian he claims that he is - this all falls at his door. He needs to go too along with his buddies and never darken our door again. Sell up to Mosihiri, reset, clean slate, new Manager, new beginning.

I wish Martinez the best of luck in whatever he does next - we all fail at some point, but we pick ourselves up and move on. Sorry it didn't work out Roberto.

Not some point for him. Has been a failure as a PL manager in most of his career.

By holding on, Martinez is only damaging his own reputation. He could do the right thing by himself & everyone & walk away with dignity, albeit late. Hanging on just starts to look a little desperate.

He's being paid zzzzzz. So if he's binned he gets more and that's why

Daggers.

 

[mythbuster]

He's done. Hopefully not too long now....

I was patient with him, but this can't go on. That's now 105 LEAGUE goals we have conceded in two seasons.

That's the root of the problem. It's no wonder the team is bereft of confidence. The fella can't set up a side that can defend in the premier league.

Cab this thread get to 3000 before he's canned

C'mon lads

fyi isn't marcotti one of the most credible journos out there right now?

 

[Caolam]

Err, we don't play them till next season.

I know, I know. It is Norwich City. It has the makings of the worst game of football ever. They are relegated and we don't want to play. I wonder if we called them up tomorrow and agreed on a 2-2 draw, then we could just give the game a miss. They probably wouldn't agree to a 2-2 draw, they might be relegated but they have some pride, more than you can say for our lot.

"Today, we competed for every ball, were full of effort and intent in wanting to win but the luck at the moment is not on our side."We have an opportunity now on Sunday against Norwich to put in a big effort and try to finish with a good performance."

I don't think he genuinely believes what he is saying, I think he knows he's lost the dressing room, that he's going and doesn't see any point in burning his bridges by saying the players have given up. It would be really easy for him to throw the players under the bus (as they deserve), but he doesn't operate that way.

 

[everton2004]

That quote will haunt him for the remainder of his days - we'll never let him forget it that's for sure.

 

[Kookhettyhoo]

unfair and unprofessional to be leaving him hanging out to dry like a frazzled pancake for so long

The last 6 weeks has shown the team has no self respect whatsoever!

 

[Tigger]

Yeah let's spend £2m to avoid him having to do his job for one more utterly meaningless match.

Football finance and the modern fan right there.

Why not just announce he is off after Norwich, save some cash and stop the frenzy of uncertainty
