Roberto Martinez Shenanigans: All Reaction Here

[anton66]

I think if Wigan had our support they would not have been relegated.

Then Moyes also had funds then.

Yes he did. And the majority of seasons under Moyes we finished in the top 6/7 not in the bottom 4/5.

I do love this Man United reserves nonsense. Given Ronaldo was injured, they were almost full strength. There was about 150 million pounds worth of talent on the pitch. Reserves like Vidic, Ferdinand, Berbatov, Scholes, Evra, Wellbeck, Tevez etc. The United team we beat were far stronger than the City side Wigan beat. It's a shame when Evertonians try to trounce all over the memory of famous Wembley Wins.

No it wasnt.

They also rested Rooney!!

But our team probably cost over double what Wigan's does.

Mauro Boselli

His style of play has been described by Roberto Martínez as "a clever player and natural finisher ... who can create havoc in the penalty area."

6.5M pounds later, he is worse than Denis Stracqualursi. Is that even possible?

Diniyar Bilyaletdinov 9 million pounds

Think you will find that many on here believe that we are not top4 because of a dour, defensive ex manager who made bad subs and ignored youth. A change has been wanted for 18months by quite a few and the cash differences transfers and wages seemingly means nothing because we're Everton and we used to win stuff in the 80's!

Well these have there wish. That dour, defensive manager has been plucked away by the champions of England and one of the biggest clubs in Europe and we have got an attacking style new manager.

Agree with you fully mate

If we could spend like Spurs, Chelsea and City, we'd be up there with them. Especially under Moyes

But the 3-0 win wasn't when it mattered. A win in the league against Swansea was "when it mattered". He bottled the big games, (Swansea at home, Arsenal away). We have also won 1/4 finals. We beat the best team in Europe in the semi final. I think the city's players lack of professionalism won Wigan the final as well. Lets be honest, City lost that final.

Well again, thats not true. Wages rose slightly under Martinez's tenure to start with. His wage bill has remained the same.

We had a negative net spend in the first 2/3 years under Moyes, yet still finished in the top 4. He has taken a side that the managerial geniuses of Bruce, jewell and Hutchins managed to keep up, and taken them down. That is a complete, unprecedented failure. He may do well for us, but all evidence is not good.

At the end of the season, he had 3 big games out of 4 remaining. He lost two, and drew 1 of his important games. He won the least important of the 4.

Moyes with a similar budget to Martinez, took a side into the top 5 of the league.

"Rooney" might have helped both in performance and in the net spend stakes - then again he might not!!!

As for the league I think the whole point is over 38 games you find your approx level and selling your best players etc year after year and wanging the wage bill while evertone else is paying more might do that for anyone - BUT WIGAN??? c'mon.

Anyway it's all being deliberately negative it ignores the work at Swansea and the fact he actually won something!!!

If you're going to be selective about a potential new EFC manager why select the negatives and ignore the positive?

 

[Pabbers]

What are the wagebills of US v Wigan ???!!

Forget comparing how much players cost. Look at the current VALUE of those players.

Not only that, but he persisted in playing him out of position!

That's like Martinez buying Boselli then playing him on the wing and expecting him to be mint.

 

[flibbyflob]

At least it's not ****ing Neil Lennon, Tony Pulis or Mark Hughes.

THIS THIS THIS AND THIS

Sorry for the caps but it is such a huge point.

 

[catcherintherye]

No it wasnt.

They alse rested Rooney!!

But out team probably cost over double what Wigan's does.

Look at the two teams put out, I'd rather have faced City's current team, playing for a manager who has lost the dressing room. Rooney has never really been picked against us, Fergusan made a tactical change to play Tevez and Berbatov. It's a bit of a joke to call them, Ferdinand, Scholes, Evra, Vidic etc etc reserves. It shows an acute ignorance.

Deleted.

 

[TippEverton]

I'l get behind Martinez, and tbh, the idiots in charge at our great club could have picked a far worse candidate.

 

[Reemul]

or Weir, Stubbs or Neville.

While I am not keen on Martinez I prefer him to the rest of the above

Diniyar Bilyaletdinov 9 million pounds

We lost about £3.5m on Bily. I do not think he is a total failure, he scored quite a few great goals and made contribution to the team whereas Boselli is a total lost and a mere failure.
