Noticed in the podcast he sidestepped the query on his long term future at Everton.

As a manager i don't think i could ask for anything more in his first season, not just the football he played but the way he embraced the club off the pitch has been nothing short of stellar. Well in Roberto

All managers and players do that. Means nothing.

Highest points tally since 1987. Not a bad start for Bobby. A few right moves by the board and by Bobby in the market and there could be some prizes on the horizon.

Highest number of goals since 95-96
most wins since 86-87

Hows that for a first season?

Brilliant from our Bobby this year. Looking over the past few seasons our pints total has improved on a 3 point increment each time. 2010/11 54pts, 2011/12 57 pts, 2012/13 63 pts, 2013/14 72 pts. Roberto really did well to identify areas that needed improvement and continue the progress that was being made by Moyes but doing it by playing his way and a way that suits this football clubs DNA. A similar improvement next year sees us between, 81-84 pts. That is definite Champions League qualification. A good summer and our potential is huge next season and beyond.

Yeah he's done alright.

Huge yest for next season to improve on this. All depends on the summer I think.

SSN being mischievious or what 'Will Barca come calling for Martinez?'

Let them talk. It's good puplicity. We're boss.

Highly doubt that, even if it had legs. He rejected a few times while at Wigan, and I doubt he'd just flat out abandon the thing that he's building with us just to go to Barca all like that. It is Barcelona, but there he'd probably not get the same freedom as here, and he'd also have lots of egos to "fight" with.

The mans too smart to take the bait on these rumours mate, he knows that he continues to be doing the work he does here then one day he will get that job with the CV behind him to give him the time to settle etc, that's the big test in a manager going somewhere like Barca, without a strong reputation behind you it can all go pear shaped fast

We have him here for at least 3 years more, and IF during that time Barca want to make the eventual move a nice one for both sides to accept, keep sending us quality on loan throughout that time period as it will be Bobby working with them in the future and us benefiting short term

He'd defo send Deulofeu back to us!

 

[Brownie]

The most impressive thing to me is how much he's improved each individual player. The difference in some of them is incredible for one year. I'm sure the players would say the same, which is an excellent endorsement for any new signings.

 

[Jadubsee]

Just seen this. Impressive stuff indeed

See reply in Boysinblue. AS to our EX, I refuse to name him after his behaviour last season and summer. I do not need to document his actions they are well known
