Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[toffee matt]

Glass half empty? I notice you're ignored the wins over City and Chelsea. Nothing I say will make you any less negative, will it?

We didn't beat city though.

Why is that 'more than likely'? There are way, way more than 2 football managers in the world you know.

As soon as we sacked Roberto you know that Bill would be on the phone to his old friend Davey.

So what would happen if we sacked him? We'd more than likely get Moyes back and we'd go back to playing percentage football.

We're playing a roughly 30 percentage football at the moment and it is not for me

Not on aggregate but we beat them in the home leg.

You're chatting wham. Moyes won't ever manage us again.

True but it count's for nothing ultimately

Biting the bullet here...... would rather have Moyes!! And the idea we played percentage football is crap - the side of Arteta Osman Pienaar Cahill played some great stuff at times. Maybe if Moyes had had more money it would have been better . His big failing was the cups but you can't argue with top seven eights years on the trot with little to spend. Ok it would be like going back to your fat ex missus after a two year affair with a skinny exotic foreign bird, but well you know what you get, you are comfortable, have stability again in your life and the roller coaster of your emotions settle down to a reasonably happy existence ( ie 2/s home defeats a year )

Moyes wouldn't be in the frame now we have more money. The problem is when you think through the managers most are unpopular due to i) emotional reasons ie manager a rival team or ii) were seen as having failed at other clubs for not meeting unrealistic expectations

I expect none of Brendan Rogers, LVG or Pelligrini for example would be popular choices

You're then left with obscure foreign managers who have not yet managed here and tarnished their reputations or formed associations with rivals

Under Moyes Jagielka would boot the ball up the field and the lone striker had to chase lost causes. We're much more entertaining under Roberto. How many neutrals have said that they enjoy watching Everton play? We're just not clinical enough.

That's quite literally our approach play to Lennon yesterday.

mate, no offence, but you are all over the shop at the minute.

 

[toffee matt]

People do realise their are more than 5 managers out their right?

No chance

Why would Bill trust his club to a foreign manager that he has no relationship with when one of his close friends, who knows the club inside out is available? He'll argue that Davey is a better manager for his time at United and Sociedad and that we can now give him the funds that were denied him in his first spell.
