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

[Onwards Evertonians]

His days are numbered, he'll be talked of in past tense in the near future, this situation can't and won't go on for much longer.

 

[eddy]

Roberto Martinez has lost the Everton fans with his words and is running out of time to save his job... he talks a good game but the damage has already been done on the pitch

• Everton dropped to 14th in the Premier League after drawing at Watford
• Toffees are on a run of six wins in 24 matches and yet to reach 40 points
• Fans at Vicarage Road called for manager Roberto Martinez to be sacked
• The Everton boss has failed to address the club's slide this season
• Supporters also backed Leighton Baines after recent comments on form
• Blues have endured miserable season but are in the FA Cup semi-finals

'The fans are allowed to express their views. Once the game started their support was magnificent and we felt that support. They are the best fans in world football,' said Everton boss Roberto Martinez after a banner calling for his head was unfurled ahead of the 1-1 draw at Watford.

Now winless in four matches and sitting 14th in the Premier League table, Martinez claimed earning a point at Vicarage Road was a 'strong' result. Maybe in isolation but not to fans who have witnessed the team amble to just six wins in 24 matches - five of which came against sides in the relegation zone.

It was yet more hyperbole used by the Everton boss after another disappointing showing. Hollow words the fans are accustomed to and have grown tired of.

The above sums it up for me Martinez is totally deluded, cannot understand the club not sacking him after yesterday

Hopefully in the morning.

No rumour of getting rid of Martinez despite the ongoing results. Personally I don't figure out what the board is waiting for. The board must act now. We have to prepared for the simi and let the players see there is light at the end of tunnel by making the right decision.

 

[Groucho]

Thanks for responding to my post addressed to someone else with such a pointless response.

Perhaps stick to posting about how you want us to lose every week...more your level.

Less of that.

And if you post sonething in a public forum, you're gonna get responses from people other that the intended recipient.

The runaway train has hit the media buffers and just like that the club hierarchy are no longer in control of the situation.
We have entered a brand impairment phase.

Amazing how Martinez has changed his tone.

First, it's "we can't play at Goodison because of the fans".

Now that he's actually felt what fan anger is really like, he's calling us the best fans in world football. He knows he's f'ed up and what little slack the fans were cutting him has been lost and once he loses that, it's game over.

Doubt the board will fire him now. People won't learn unless it costs the club dearly.

This thread has cost the lives of many, many posters.

lol

Well, I remember reading somewhere that as part of his due diligence he got someone to value the squad, so it seems unlikely to the point of being absurd that he won't have had his team looking at possible replacements for the manager. That's not to say that he'll have bought in with a view to replacing Martinez, but it would just be what you'd do if you were ( effectively ) taking over a business and weren't totally convinced that the people running the business were the right people long term.

Hopefully if the Bielsa rumours are true hes acting as a consultant rather than a potential manager.

This week could be life changing for Martinez i think...2 games and one eye on the semi.

What would you recommend in terms of disposing of the bodies?

Apologies.

-but it is costing the club. 1.5mil yesterday, possibly more Wednesday. Player devaluation and wanting to be sold at an ebb. TV selections being reduced which will carry on into next season...

Everton have reportedly sounded out Marcelo Bielsa as Roberto Martinez's potential successor, according to @brunoandrd #EFC

Well, statisically, he's better than Brownshoes/Clownshoes

Bielsa:

RM:

The most shocking thing is that RM has worse win % with us than he had with Swansea...

edit: and 50% more losses.

You think Martinez will listen? He does not even see weakness in himself. Yesterday draw against mighty Watford is a strong scoreline mind you.

Leicester 32 games 72 points Everton 31 games 38 points. Looking at both squads and you will wonder why the hack this happens in reality. Managers do change things.
