Actions will speak louder than words on this. We've been here before (twice) with Roberto. He is very lucky to be at a club affording him a third chance. If he has not learnt by now he may never.

Pffft.

We're lucky to have him.

The other feller: 'Berto's on his third chance'.

Club record 72 points and 5th; currently on course for the David Moyes Memorial Seventh Place Trophy; playing football touched by the Gods.

Yeah...he's lucky the board haven't kicked his arse to the kerb for not delivering our customary PL title and Champions League win for the past three seasons.

'Berto's loved by the club, his position is impregnable.

Happened twice already. Last season's league placing was enough to get him fired from most top half premier league teams. In that respect he is fortunate to be at a club that afford their managers a lot of time. Look how Liverpool replaced Rodgers, Southampton Atkins, Spurs Redknapp then AVB, Leicester Pearson. The nice morale thing to do? No. Did they all end up with better quality managers? Yes. Had Martinez been at any of these spouting his 'I'm not interested in clean sheets, Tim is having an incredible moment' he would have been gone in the blink of an eye. They've got a word for this that begins with A but some Evertonians despite what is written on the crest consider any aspect of this word to be kopite behaviour.

'The club' could soon be changing completely. New owners may have actual ambitions and targets. I know that will shock half of our players and management staff but it could well happen. Like every other manager, he will have to perform without the Kenwright safety net under him.

Ridiculous comparisons.

Liverpool and Spurs spent hundreds of millions and fell way short and the managers had to pay the price. Leicester were nearly relegated last season, so who wouldn't sack the fruitcake Pearson who also had massive disciplinary issues? Southampton sacked Adkins because he had them 15th in the table and out of their depth in the PL.

A moderately spending Everton under Martinez: 5th, 11th and currently 8th.

Yeah, dead lucky to still have a job. He lives a charmed existence, for sure. :coffee:

If we had big spending new owners then maybe falling short of a CL spot or winning a cup would be met with the bullet. But it doesn't look remotely like they'll spend. So the smart money would have to be on them retaining the feller who keeps the club's tv cash safe. Martinez can do that and then some.
