Definitely McManaman, not sure about McCarthy though.

I really like him. Dead clever off the ball, lively, doesn't stop running but has a brain and is improving year after year. Wouldn't mind him at Everton at all.

So lets say Periera's was a no go

Who would your second pick have been?

He was never a second pick!

I do. I'd take McManaman and McCarthy right now, especially McCarthy - brilliant player.

Both of them overrated. Could get better players for cheaper.

Going to lift up a scarf with that sh*t badge on it isn't he

Not sure why there is so much negativity surrounding Martinez, I think we should give the lad a chance to be honest and let's face it, it could be a lot worse e.g. Lennon, Neville etc.

After all, after the cup defeat, I don't think I spoke to one Evertonian who didn't want Martinez as our next manager....

I think my opinion on him is quite well known on here.

Not for me mate.

McCarthy is only 22 as well. Osman is 31. Need to get the squad age down.

Laudrup would rather Swansea than Everton?

Poor decision. Always move on when your stock is high.

I'll take your word for it mate, honestly not seen enough of him to make a judgement.

Im just glad it aint lennon ,it couldve been better but could be a whole lot worse...viva roberto !

Fits well with the Clubs new motto.

"Could have been worse"

On a serious point - it is always going to be a Martinez, Mackay, Neville Weir or Stubbs style appointment. A safe bet for the board, someone who won't 'rock the boat'

From all the appointments this board would have made (their short list) - he's the best in my opinion.

That said, remember Martinez has turned down Aston Villa and Liverpool in the past - so it's not a given and if he asks for free toast every day we'll claim he had a dodgy knee.

Swansea have Europe and we don't to be fair

Martinez was the best we would get if we wanted a foreign manager. Vitor was just to much of a gamble, anyone could see that except for those who just went on and on about how sexy he is.
