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

[jceverton]

Disagree there...if you are the right man for the job. Steve Kerr who is the head coach of the Golden State Warriors in the NBA had zero head coaching experience before being hired at the beginning of last season. He led them to the NBA title in his first season. He has them on pace to have the best record the NBA has ever seen this season.

Martinez has had 3 seasons and is nowhere close to breaking into the top 4 and then building on that, yet you want to persevere with him. Which is quite a contrast to the example of Kerr that you've provided.

I'd be a world class coach in the NBA though. Honestly how hard can it be?

What did I say that was factually incorrect?

You said you'd be a world class coach in the NBA? Thats factually incorrect as you wouldn't have a clue

My statement was with regards to Neville and Valencia.

I'd just tell the players to throw the ball into the hoop and we'd win every game.

If ever we were stupid enough to let him go, there would be no shortage of top flight suitors for Martinez. A proven trophy winner, registering a club like Everton's best ever PL season, capable of identifying, attracting and coaching top quality for nothing more than decent money in today's inflated market to add massively to squad value at clubs.

No amount of blind hatred can erase that.

• A proven trophy winner and a proven relegation battle loser.

• As discussed it was the joint 2nd best premier league season

I thought you were going to start using "premier league return"​

• You'd have to remove the attracting and coaching top quality part.

He took a risk on most players when they weren't proven to be top quality. Once they prove it they're off
Hasn't really attracted a proven top quality player

And as for coaching well 12th is all I can say​

Indeed, most clubs regularly around the European places would love a manager to break transfer records to decline their club to back to back bottom half.

Yes but you made the point that with the right man in the job who is a very talented coach they can make an immediate impact by winning the NBA and breaking league records. I'm pointing out that using that argument Martinez is clearly not the right man for the job and is clearly not a top class coach yet you wish us to stick with him.

Last season. Just thought it was a good message.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Sake, you've just lined up Roblerto's next excuse here.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Last season. Just thought it was a good message.

Didn't it also say 'not good enough'? True then, true now.

 

[ilikecheese]

Didn't it also say 'not good enough'? True then, true now.

It hasn't been good enough for about 30 years.

 

[Saint Domingo]

It hasn't been good enough for about 30 years.

That's ok, we'll just keep an utterly incompetent manager in place because we haven't won the league for 30 years? This squad should be a lot better. Time to go Roberto.
