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

[blueboy1945]

Got a long way to go to beat the great man @davek though !

I miss Dave, great blue will always be welcomed back on here.

How many barren windows has martinez had, again? Moyes had about four on the bounce, didn't he?

Yeah and players that were signed were offset by player sales. Fellaini for arguments sake was mcfadden and Johnson sales. Martinez sold noone to get lukaku

 

[EvertonRhys]

That confirms he is going. No mention of him as a manager, response talking about his personality instead

1000% my thoughts. Bit different to "What a manager." Bill looking a lot more spritely there too. Good on him.

Paul Clement ??

The bloke sacked by Derby for being utter mince.

No thanks

Paul clement , oh no

It struck me logically as a don't give him abuse because he is a nice bloke response rather than any statement of him as a manager.

I'm trying. By god I am trying! But no matter how much I want to believe in him, how much I want him to succeed and how much I want to just feel naturally positive about the man, I just can't help but feel very worried and ultimately negative about the appointment of Roberto Martinez as manager of Everton Football Club. I know there's an obvious divide in Everton fans' views and opinions of this issue, but what about the man wearing the mask like me. The man who's putting a smile on and forcing himself to look and "feel" excited about Martinez, but deep down knows that something just doesn't fit. I know I'm not the only one wearing that mask of jubilance covering a face of concern, worry and gloominess. Having watched the full appointment of Martinez press conference on YouTube, I think it's blatantly obvious that Kenwright is wearing that mask too. Some say this is a time of promise and future glory, with the players we have, the football Martinez' teams play and the fact that we're taking on a manager who won what Moyesey never could (a trophy!), and I'm happy for those people. Others say this is a huge mistake, with a manager that's never progressed a bottom five team which was finishing higher in the league before he took over and now under his reign got relegated, and I'm happy for those people too. At least you openly know where you stand. But those of you wearing the mask of delight covering up a deep down despair, put your hand up and make yourself known, because I know there's more than just me and Blue Bill.

I've just read this. Now. Today. Amazing prediction. Can you do me a tarot card reading next Wednesday?

Yep, he could have said he a top manager but he didn't

That's true.

I can personally say I was optimistic through the brand of football we were playing rather than to take in all the facts back then.

Please be gone by Monday.

Yep. Whether it was just avoid the question in front of the fans to save aggro I'll guess we'll find out this week. I don't think I can wait another three!

 

[Furey1878]

For anyone who says that we should just wait until the end of the season, imagine the lap of honour post Norwich... Never mind the reception he'd receive at Bournemouth. He just has to go and surely our board know it.

 

[Jonahjones]

Things are so bad that even my red family and friends have stopped winding me up.

This.

My son's mates at school have even stopped.

I suspect they see it now as just like kicking a puppy.

Absolutely this. If we go behind against Bournemouth then things will turn very unpleasant.

Not good for anyone involved. Needs to be done now.

 

[Mikeonlythebestwilldo]

I won't even stay for the lap of honour if i go and so should all of us do a walk out before the lap of honour

The remaining home games will be horrid.
