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

[obc]

Like the man but i think it's time to change directions... act now before the end of the season and show intent to help retain some players who might be getting the itch to leave EFC.

its not a competition mate, we all support everton just different views on how to achieve things

Well tell that to the people hanging on to an opinion that they don't really believe.

 

[maccavennie]

Not forgetting that german, or austrian, or was it swiss guy who flew in for interview when no-one had heard of him?

Of course mate Ragnik or something. Still, not exactly a line up that had us wetting our appetite was it in the grand scheme of things.

Can we leave things as they are until after the Leicester match please?

Really want them to win the league

Ralf Rangnik!

Weirdly I name dropped him in one of the threads at the time, appeared in the news a few days later!

They'll have it won before we go there... and I would really like it if we spoil the their party.

Some lid is saying we've spoken to Lucien Favre and Paul Clement.

Can't say I'm overly enamored at the prospect of Koeman, but Mourinho or Pellegrini would be boss, and De Boer would probably be decent though its a bit of a risk.

I think there's more to it than rumours, it's coming from more than social media, there's too much chat (privately) from well placed sources to just dismiss it as rumour. No-one has been able to confirm it yet though.

Certainly I don't have anything to say 100 % that a conclusion has been reached.

Best guess would be that the discussions that have taken place in the last couple of weeks have continued post match.

If they've reached a conclusion it's going to be by mutual agreement either (i) immediately - tomorrow morning or (ii) he will see our the season and leave then.

As I mentioned last night I can see no business or footballing reason for the situation to continue beyond tomorrow.

Why tomorrow? Not poking for information.

That's my thinking too.

First half of the season was van Gaal getting them better as a functioning unit. Dreary, but had to happen. Now he's got Rooney spraying long passes from deep to a rapid young counterattacking side.

All that low crossing would, sadly, suit Lukaku all day!!

Could definitely see them being his most likely destination. Arsenal too, if they'd be willing to spend the cash.

Is that the thing off reddit from the other day or something new?

 

[BernieWright13]

There was the odd spike of inte

Yep

Doesn't take much for that market to move I've been told, A few largeish bets and the odds tumble incase there's inside info

Right. Well lets see if anyone can dislodge ravey davey

Koeman would be very good, I feel. Pel would be boss like.

But Koeman is basically sam calibre as De Boer, but with the added bonus he has PL experience. Would he leave Sotton to take over us though?

I mean, objectively speaking, we're two clubs in pretty much exactly the same position...

Tomorrow being first training day after Saturday. No other reason mate.
