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

[Woolly Blue]

Well no one knows how any new ownership would act. I'm dealing in what we do know now.

Regardless, new owner/current owner: it doesn't change the situation for those who truly believe Martinez will be gone by 2019. If you feel that's going to happen you can bet on it now...if you were confident.

The odds I'd get on that would be terrible so it makes no financial sense. Now, if you were willing to take an evens bet on it, that tilts the odds significantly in my favour, but it appears you're not willing to put your money where your mouth is ...

We have a manager who seemingly has no interest in doing so...

"My philosophy and my way of working is not to keep clean sheets" Roberto Martinez - 27th Jan 2016

He's never built a side that is defensively sound, and his philosophy explains exactly why....

Wigan shipped goals, now Everton ship goals....not such a spooky co-incidence, given his view on clean sheets is it?

As for the views of fans 'not registering', that's piffle, as once fans start showing their displeasure on a match day, then it creates massive pressure on any manager, irrespective of their background or pedigree. See Van Gaal for details...

You are vastly overestimating the 'insurrection'. If my ears didn't deceive me last night I heard the 'ali, ali, alio' song belted out a number of times by that army of travelling support. A blunt instrument to measure with maybe, but it doesn't sound like there's any imminent threat of a lynching.

Without Lukaku, we'd be relegation fodder this season

That's honestly a little bit terrifying

Or you could say without Tim Howard we'd be top 6. Swings and roundabouts.

It's time.

VITOR, VITOR!!!

I am very much against gambling of any kind mate. I wont encourage addiction on this forum. I would encourage you to bet sensibly, though.

Not as much as you'd think. What clubs do now is keep paying them until they get another job.

This is what has happened with Jose. Also why Rogers isn't too bothered about getting back in yet.

Clubs like that can afford to...

bloody hell - open goal and we would still be better off? hahaha only messing.

 

[SteRobbo84]

I don't want him go and voted to stay, but surely we don't want continuity and we all want a lot of change?

Isn't that a contradiction? He's proven and stated many times that he won't change.

Haha both are true so up to you how you want to look at it

So can we with the TV money in the game now.

 

[Axlswhk]

You think Martinez will be sacked?

Pffft!

If so, good luck with that. Why dont you go down to Ladbrokes and spend your cash and post your slip up here?

Let's do it without money involve, if Martinez is sack, ban yourself from this forum, and I'll do likewise if he stay until the end of his contract.

deal mate?

The TV money all went on Robert Elstone's new wine cellar mate

Oh, and gravel for the stadium

Are you a doctor who works in a hospital psychiatric unit ? Banning them from watching Everton on TV might improve the mortality rate for a bit. His decision making can get to the best of us.

lol

We are a backyard job, tv money or not.
