Martinez Out: Post Stoke poll

[DanB90]

Up until now I've been confident we would turn it around, but looking at the games played, we should have won more, even by accident.
I could put up with the schoolboy defending if we were were a real threat going forward, but truth is, we never really look like scoring, until it's too late.
I don't think Bill will bin him just yet, but how much longer can we give him?

 

[longers]

we'll avoid relegation then sign cleverly in the summer and be boss again

 

[mightymoyes]

Time to go, get new manager in now so he can assess what he needs before the summer

 

[faddy the blue]

Not long that day when I see a banner calling for his head at Goodison.

He'll again have a 3 man CM with Naismith, Mirallas and Lukaku against Newcastle. There wouldn't be any pass in the final third, Naismith will jump on about showing his fighting spirit, Lukaku will chase after flickons only to be outnumbered by 3 defenders. He'll lose the ball and off we go again. Eventually Cisse will score through a set piece. Then Lennon will come on for Besic, Osman for Mirallas and right at 85th min Barkley will come on for Naismith.

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

Why do you keep defending him. What qualities has he shown.

I reckon Davek is Kenwright.

 

[Bowjangles]

Does any countries space program need volunteer astronauts? Rocket this know nothing quim into space at the next launch and take his interviews and false positivity with him. Making mugs of us all, the moronic moron baboon ideas relegating disaster plank!

 

[neil999]

Do you really think Kenwright will be up for paying the money required to sack him?

And then the potential money to hire the new manager?

I'm not so sure.

how long was there to go when smith was sacked?

 

[daz4matty]

Pipe down you big girls.

The relegation places are sorted.

You seem to be enjoying this too much.

 

[Robocop]

Sack him and bring in who? I can't think of a good replacement. He should keep his job and get the 6 points needed to keep us up. He will do it.

 

[TommyDavo]

We may or may not get away with relegation this year, but stick with him and it will come

 

[Fearthainn]

A pie chart anyone?

 

[daz4matty]

I reckon Davek is Kenwright.

Or his wife

 

[EvertonRhys]

It's like a nightmare when you're shouting at someone and they're oblivious. Not a whisper in the media, even Greg O'Keefe tweeted saying we were playing well in the first half. He won't be going anywhere- annoyingly.

 

[Garrick]

Give him til the end of the season, why sack him now? we could have Europa glory soon.

Doubt that. At some point, there will be a European club smart enough to just watch the tape from our league games this season and beat us just like every English club has figured out how to.

I was usually a defender of Martinez, with the thought that he learns and improves (he fixed the defence when we leaked goals, even if the attack got weaker) and I thought that with time he'd get better.

However, he's just kept doing the same things, over and over, as if something would change. That, coupled with mediocre signings (and one for which we gave a considerably over the top sum) has massively swayed my vote the other way and I'm in the "out" camp now. There are simply things you can't use the "luck" excuse for as well - towards the final 10 or so games of last season we had our asses saved by a fantastic solo run or a shot from distance/free kick being unsavable, so, in a sense, we were also incredibly lucky to be where we were last season. The signs were there, but we were all still in awe and just proud of our team doing well, I guess, and we ignored them.

You were phenomenal, Mr. Martinez, now it is time to walk away. It seems you have a decent head on your shoulders and decent morals, so the only logical thing would be to resign. Sad to say, but I hope it happens ASAP.
