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

[TheHumbleEgg]

I think the players owe him a debt of gratitude - other than "The Baines Incident", not once has he slated the players for lack of passion or effort. What they have done for the past couple of months is an insult to the fans, other managers may have berated them, may have dropped them. But no, that's not his style. He put his credibility on the line by defending their inept performances.

And before anyone jumps on this - I'm not defending Martinez in any way. He was (and is) completely out of his depth. The squad is unfit, repeatedly playing a system that doesn't work. But there is more than one guilty party in this whole sorry mess - Martinez, the players, the board....all are guilty.

This whole charade over the past few weeks has dragged the club's name through the mud and (worse) it's made us a complete laughing stock.

That's a very fair & reasonable point that...

...breaking news on Sky, RM about to be sacked. Frank de Boer has left Ajax.

Sky News just breaking that it understands R M may not be in charge this weekend.

Really good point, we should celebrate the good things that are happening.

Tsk. Thunder. Stolen!

This has been one of the most telling periods ever for me in supporting this rabble over too many decades. No other football club on earth would behave this way with performances as they have been for months. Tbh, they disgust me

I'm varying between disgust, anger and abject embarrassment ATM Bern... tell you what though, it's been a tough old ride this season eh.

Unfortunately cannot see him sacked before the award’s ceremony tonight. The irony of that eh, such another disgraceful season and the club doesn’t see fit to cancel it and instead will be dishing out ‘Best Player’ and ‘Blue Blood’ awards, with luvvy and the man who has held us back and continues to do so, Bill Kenwright, stood proudly on the stage. A part of me thinks he might even use it as an opportunity to publicly support Martinez. Wouldn’t put anything past him! I just hope there are protests and boos all over the place outside and inside of the hall, and also mass protests on Sunday if nothing has been announced. We laugh at them and call them all sorts, but if this was Liverpool Martinez would be long gone and no doubt they’d have made it to the final and be in the top half of the league. I just don’t get why common sense doesn’t apply to Everton.

Not sure if this has been mentioned on here but Sky News just reporting Everton 'expected to sack Martinez this week and replace him with De Boer'

More on former Netherlands international De Boer, who has been manager of Ajax since 2010. The 45-year-old's agent linked the Dutchman with Everton recently, and speculation continues about the future of their manager Roberto Martinez, whose team have won only one of their last 10 league matches.

Nah, who says Moyes would come back here? I don't mean that he's too good for us, but maybe he's of the opinion that it wouldn't be the most popular move amongst Everton fans...

What then if we can't even get your fictional last resort?

We won't have a problem getting a manager

And where does it say he is joining us? Can't see it. 'Speculation' and 'linked to Everton' counts not one bit.

Has it ever !

Even more so with the sense that the squad we had was capable of winning things - just turining out to be inflated expectations.

I think as an exercise in managing my own expectations for next season so that I don't put myself through this again its probably best to start with an expectation that we will exit the cups at early stages and narrowly avoid relegation.

Nil Satis Nisi Maybe !

...Sky saying Everton are working to release RM before Sunday. The bookies clearly think the De Boer situation is linked.
