Wish there was a clapping emoj...great post. Another thing to mention, At least two of our youngest most exciting players will be asking to move in about 4 months anyway. We will then have another 100 million. I don't want a team rebuild, I want a manager that's lucky, One that makes a mistake....realises that mistake and rectifies said mistake, A winner, A manager that hates to loose, One that will use the best players...... at the right time !! As far as I can tell only one is El Boberto
What I can't abide is the seemingly stubbornness to put right his weaknesses.
Do that and he would become a top manager.
That's the frustration for me.
Classy guy. Buys well. Clearly talented.
But he has glaring weaknesses which show no sign of being worked on or fixed.
Defending. Set pieces. Fitness. Discipline.
Football is more than just what we do with the ball.

He must know that his teams are poor at defending, Wigan and us. Don't know about Swansea. So why not got help in this area and bring someone in?

Apart from the Chelsea goal, I cannot recall another last minute implosion that wasn't self-inflicted.

Yep. I'd say the attacking aspect is the much easier part to coach, as it's more to do with how your own player use the ball, so you can practise that to your heart's content. Defending requires an understanding of how your opponents will set up, their attacking tactics and common set piece routines. RM clearly isn't doing his homework.

Have you just made an argument based on adding two imaginary wins to our tally? What if we just arbitrarily take off 6 points? If Newcastle had scored first on Boxing Day and a few draws v City Spurs and Liverpool had been losses (quite easily given the blatant pen we gave up and Kane's awful finishing) we'd be down in the depths and the calls for Martinez to go would be resounding.
Let's deal in reality please. You can't have a whole 18 months of bad luck, refereeing errors, injuries, unlucky finishing, one of those days etc. Martinez takes responsibility for all of our results good and bad.

Firstly, your point of Lukaku's acquisition can't be put into Martinez's team is one of the strangest points I've seen in...ever.
But. BUT. Why this comparison is occurring is a mystery @Zatara
Moyes had 11 years and a totally different mandate. During the AGM it was openly admitted that the previous manager had the money to purely concentrate on the first team and slight fringes. With all of the new money, Martinez is allowed to bring in the likes of Holgate, Foulds and Shani (not attempting to spell that surname).
There is a lot of debates to be had regarding our ex and our current, but the fact they were both very good in the market doesn't seem a debate worth having imo.
Ignore me though, carry on.

Let's not bring Moyes' squad into this. As a handover it was not bad at all. Some old experienced pros (gladly used by Martinez), some extremely talented youngsters, and a good raft of players in their prime (which Martinez has gleefully sold for good amounts to aid his restructuring). Martinez has had 6 windows and a lot of money to do what he wants with the squad. mondy for very expensive loans, Everton's most expensive striker, defender and wide player (Niasse) all purchased. Overstocking of players in the central and side positions of midfield.
Yet after all this people are still blaming Moyes' squad for our failings this season, laughably even the fringe players like Hibbert Pienaar Osman etc.
Look at what Pochettino did at Spurs. Big stars brought in by the Bale money ruthlessly sold off if they weren't of use to him. Academy products brought through (far more than Martinez has in less time), popular players such as Mason Bentaleb benched for better players in better form.
This squad excuse really is laughable. It's just poor management simple as that.

That's it really. 18 months of absolute tosh and we haven't fixed our problems.
If this was 2000 it'd be fine but it's 2016 and given our squad, it's not good enough. The only reason Martinez has any support left is that we can all see his positives. Walter Smith had no redeeming factors but Martinez does so much right. We want him to turn it around. But he's shown no signs of learning from, or even acknowledging some glaring problems. Problems which undermine what's good about the team and nullify the 20 goal a season striker we spent two and a half decades begging for.
If he can't turn it around by the end of the season then I'd be disappointed to see him start the next. I hope he does turn it around, but he's had a lot, lot longer than other managers would get and thus far, has us sitting in the same league position as last year without the excuse of Europe.
