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

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Don't know why people saying royle the premier league has changed a lot since

The game itself hasn't.

Ronald Koeman would be my choice as a long term replacement for Bobby Bullshit

"Get out of our club, get out of our club

Bobby Bullshit get out of our club!"

....I'd be very surprised if the new owner hasn't instructed his folk to sound out likely candidates, it's what happens. I'd also be surprised if anything happens before the semi final.

It's a interim job for 5-6 games, assuming Martinez goes who would you suggest to guide us to the end of the season.

I have no idea mate me? lol

 

[jceverton]

I don't believe for a second that Martinez offered to resign. Why would he? It goes against the tone of everything he says publicly, would cost him a fortune in compensation payments and deny him the possibility of FA Cup glory when it's only 2 games away. It's nonsense.

I agree, the fact that we're in a FA cup semi-final is the bit that makes it seem unbelievable to me.

Big Dunc.

Also a lot would have us believe it's Bill who does the hiring and firing. There is no way anyone with more than half a brain cell would have rejected it.

Kenwright was at the game anyway I wouldn't trust either brown shoes or Bill as they have been thick as theives from the start.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Joe Royle's first game as our manager was the Derby, they had a better team but we beat them on the night, we don't win either of the next 2 and I hope he goes on to repeat it. Also we won the FA Cup that season.

Do it again please.

I don't think Royle is the answer to be honest

How long has it been since he managed at a high level?

For whatever reason, the players seem to turn up for Martinez in the Cup games still

The League is what it is, so I don't see much point in dropping Martinez until the Cup run comes to its conclusion

At the start of the season most people would have jumped at winning the FA Cup .And winning the cup buys martinez time whether people like or not same as it bought fergie time in 1990 ,imagine any manager coming in after the previous manager had been sacked when he had just won the fa cup . Yes the league form especially at home has been a disaster ,and we should be up there challenging for the cl spots but winning trophies surely is high on peoples priorities .to hear some evertonians say they would rather lose some games to get the manager the sack beggars belief.

Still, somehow pretty much all the bookmakers still think we're the clear favourites to win the competition based on their odds.

Because we're a game closer. Neither West Ham or Man U are in the semi yet.

Big Dunc.

Not for me, but each to their own.

Don't think he would do any worse than Martinez until the end of the season. He would get the fans going if nothing else.

 

[Furey1878]

The club has already spoken to at least four potential replacements. It's just a matter of time now.

There'd be some fire in that 11 with Big Dunc at the helm. Might be crazy and scattershot but at least they'll fight or sit.
