After that first season we were all soaring though, weren't we. Bizarre is what I would use to describe the black hole that has been our defensive set up in the two years since.

I cant see him making Everton successful. I think hes lost the fans and it doesn't look like he can inspire/rev up or cajole anything from his players. The club would be foolish to continue along a path that's not working but that's EFC all over. We need a ruthless chairman/board and we need them now.

Please check with me for Blammo criteria
Don't disagree at all that it was an excellent first season.
But he would already have been on a deal far, far better than his Wigan one - there was just no need to throw more money at him until he had proven he could do it consistently.
A strong start / first half of the next season then yes, can see the logic.
He had a good first season to be fair
It made sense to tie him up at that point in case he had another and other clubs tried to poach him
That didn't happen of course, but it made sense at the time

You know he won't and this has been mentioned since last season. Not going to happen.

The stats make clear he had 1 freak season. Since then he has been appalling.
The board need to act quickly as I fear it will get worst before it gets better.
His comments yesterday about his philosophy should have the alarm bells ringing everywhere. Even those who backed him to the hilt on here must now realise he is starting to come across as a bit unstable.
We had the luck of 2 clear penalty decisions against City in the January games, so him moaning about how unfair life is to the press just further highlights how unstable he is.

That's the stat I wanted to see, I can't stand the blabbering idiot. He needs to go.

"His technique, his power, his physique was phenomenal, and Mrs Martinez and I can learn a lot from that going forward".

I don't think we will go down. If he doesn't get 7th at least, for me he has to go next summer.

possibly, but I'm hoping for a 'not throwing the baby out with the bathwater' compromise to placate all sides. (what's Tony Adams doing these days? He failed in his management career but will have all the relevant coaching badges, personally think he'd be ideal drilling our defence)

whole club needs a clear out top to bottom. bomb putting under it. setting on fire.
otherwise it'll be the same story for another twenty years, cry arsing and hard luck stories.
Martinez can spot a player, can make players feel good about themselves - but can't organise a defence and appears unwilling to make the hard decisions with regards to selection (e.g. Howard, stones needs taking down a peg or two)
i'd advocate a director of football to identify and deal with recruitment of players, to free up time for Martinez to improve the coaching/tactical side, but can't see it making much difference.
Having said that until we get a board that invests real money, so maybe we too can have a 50 million quid player on the bench, not much will change.
i've got a right cob on.
