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

[daza_1973]

It least he can't blame the home supporters for the next two crunch games

 

[orly]

I'll run on the pitch on Wednesday and confront the manager....and get my spray can out and redecorate the hallowed walls of Goodison.
Just off to make a banner out of me Ma's duvet cover for Wembley:

Tell me Ma, me Ma
To bin off the Spanish Clown
The fraud will be taking us down
Tell me Ma me Ma


Hope that makes me a better Evertonian.

Congrats you're the first to crack the code.

I used to hold functions in Stadiums, then arena's, then social clubs, then pubs, then an actual Cafe.....now it's just in my box room. Even then when everyone is attending it still seems very spacious.

But you're still there............

Save me a seat.

There's plenty of white hankies knocking about to assist.....

Out of interest, how many Managers have resigned from a Premier League club in the last 10 years? I can't think of any to be honest as 'by mutual consent' just means sacked.
Suggesting Martinez has the decency to resign is unrealistic because it just doesn't happen....like players the managers have financial packages to protect.

Martin O'Neil.

That is when it all started going tits up for Aston Villa.

But city signed pep so they had a chance to replace a manager with a better one. If our club knew we could sign simeone and Jose then we would do the same. City have been after pep for two years now.

Im still not over the names that were interviewed last time when Moyes left
Phil Neville
Alan stubbs

This time we will be linked with David Moyes
Gary neville and Phil.

Fair play, but all the more reason the board should have pulled their collective fingers out months ago. Why wait until it gets this toxic? They should have identified potential replacements by now, instead of BK spouting rubbish like, "What a manager..." and smiling like a Cheshire cat for no particular reason. It's so f******g surreal sometimes! I'm not asking for a Neville or Moyes but I doubt there are many managers out there who can't do a much better job than RM has been doing for the past 2 seasons.

Is he still here, was hoping to get up this morning and find the fraud had been sacked.

Advocaat - Sunderland
Redknapp - QPR
O'Neill - Villa
Keegan - Newcastle

To be fair, I was smiling like a Cheshire cat after the Chelsea game as well. He was probably just reliving that goal. What he should have been saying is 'what a goal'.

What are the board waiting for, seriously...

Can only assume that him winning the cup saves him his job, and if us winning it means yet another season of this absolute garbage then I'm sorry but I'd rather get knocked out. I've never seen the fan base so apathetic, even when we were garbage there was still fight in the team which we could cling onto.

I have to look at the long term vs the short term and if we did win it, about an hour afterwards the horrible realisation that he'd be here next season would ruin it anyway. More than likely he'd be without Lukaku's goals too, which is utterly terrifying.

It's all good and well saying he can still win the cup and be sacked, but when was the last time we showed ourselves to be as ruthless as our neighbours? I can't see both happening at all.

I enjoyed that goal as much as anyone but if he had half a brain, he would have known that it was just papering over the cracks. He could could have come out and said, "What a player" as well, but he chose to heap undeserved praise onto the manager.

The board can spin it any way they like. "Mutual consent" is fine by me. RM has milked the club for long enough and spoken so much BS after so many matches so, yeah, pretty unrealistic to expect him to show any decency now.

I reckon whoever the mew manager is can only takeover in the summer. Gut feeling is that if he loses both the derby and semi we will see a caretaker in for the rest of the season.

I agree. Martinez didn't win us that game. Rom did.
