Got these in a basket ready to go....
 
Think the luster of managing Everton has been gone much longer than Martinez's tenure.....
At least we were regularly finishing top 6 in the latter part of Moyes' term, which firmly established us as one of the 'best of the rest' teams, outside the top 4.
 
Annoying that the only way we can woo new managers is by offering them oodles of cash in wages. Once upon a time, managers wanted to join simply because it was managing Everton. Damn you Martinez.
LOL. The last time Phil Neville or Alan Stubbs were interviewed. Even Steve Kean was keen to get an interview. Martinez was a good appoitment in 2013 at that time and did some decent job here, not everything went wrong... Martinez doesn't deserve this...

When was this, pardner?

The stellar names du jour have never been falling over themselves to manage us in my lifetime.

We wanted Brian Clough.....we got Billy Bingham.

We had Bobby Robson all but signed up but he changed his mind at the last minute....we got Gordon Lee.

Howard was in the second division.......Walker was flavour of the month.

Walter Smith was a weird appointment....Moyes was unknown.

And Bobby had just got his team relegated.

No sir, I never recall a time when the mere mention of our name had the top names knocking on our door :)
 
Have to admit to not being entirely sold on Koeman but it would be quite funny to confound articles like this from yesterday by Sam Wallace.

There is a growing confidence at Southampton that the old order so rudely shaken up by Leicester City is changing for them too. For instance, Everton’s interest in appointing Ronald Koeman was considered so unlikely to tempt the Southampton manager that key figures at the club cannot recall there even being a meeting about it. The polite answer being that they would not expect to lose a player to Everton, and certainly not their manager.

It would be no surprise, in fact, if Koeman, with one year left on his deal, were to sign a new contract at Southampton over the next few months. The club are realistic enough to know he would not necessarily stay for the duration of any new deal but for now they feel their shrewd Dutch manager is happy with life and acknowledges the benefits of being at such a well-run club.

Isn't that the way all managers are wooed? I bet Jose hasn't gone to Utd for free. Only way we'd get a manager for less money would be of they were already unemployed and I guess a name you'd not be happy with. We're trying to woo a manager with a pretty safe job. Whoever takes the Everton job is taking a risk.
