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

[coollino]

I foresee our next win coming from a game where we score more than the opposition. I would like to thank @coollino for inspiring this philosophy.

Back to the basics, it's easy.

Man Utd sacked Moyes with 4 games of the season still to go, gave Giggs the caretaker job although he was never likely to get the full gig. And he won all 4 games! No reason why we can't let Big Dunc and Unsie takes the reins for the rest of the season, backed up by some fatherly advice from Joe Royle and re-build the broken relationship with the fans. Then spend the first part of the summer getting the right man for the job.

 

[Bungle]

I am not exaggerating that stat though? Not when goal scoring runs count from one season to the next (van nistelroy 11 goals? in a row started the season before), or Unbeaten runs are counted from previous seasons (arsenal?).

So it isn't exagerating to say if we dont win again this season it will be a run of 5 months per league wins in the league.

happy now?

Not really no.

some right auld tosh coming out now - just sack him ffs Mosh, before some start putting the tinfoil on their heads...or worse - not putting it on

 

[ijjysmith]

simply put.

1. We arent getting relegated
2. We will struggle to win games
3. if we dont win again this season then our run of league wins goes from 1st march to at least august

If you could adopt this approach everytime we'd all be happier people.

 

[Professor Toffee]

plenty of reason to sack him mate, but you really think candidates with something left to achieve would even entertain us until their season is over? Imagine sitting down with Pellegrini before he takes his team to the CL semis? Now isn't the time to be negotiating the new manager unless they are out of work already, that will be done in the close season.

I want him sacked now as much as the next person sure, annoys me that he hasn't been.

Agree but he shoudl be gone now, put Sheedy & Unsworth as caretaker managers and work on Pellegrini when City are eliminated, though Im sure his agent would be happy to talk on his behalf now!

They don't have to come over straight away, just be signed up for next season. You even used Pellegrini as an example, when he himself has been replaced but not removed from his post (although I'd want Martinez out the door pronto).

The media has a lot to answer for and the neutral fan is only too happy to take a swig of the coolaid!

In response to my frustration/anger at Roberto at work last week I got a lot of 'I like Martinez seems to be doing a good job', 'at least he's trying to play the right way' and so on, then last night one of mates said 'I see all the fans want moyes back'

That is my point yeah, perception completely changes as lets be honest we don't follow other teams to garner a realistic view on their affairs. So if the media sell a hard luck story then other fans will buy that and there will be less external pressure on the club to sack him.

Granted makes no difference to us everton fans what others think or say but it just paints a different picture overall. If the media were calling for martinez's head the same way they do other clubs that they care to write about then it would help the whole process along.

 

[The Esk]

A slightly promising note I guess is that the Club's social media platforms have chosen not to publish any comments from Martinez for the last two matches

This is a very important point mate , well noticed. The club other than the obligatory FA organised press conference have completely dissociated themselves publicly with the manager.

That tells a great deal about relationships between both parties, and it should appease those concerned about his future at the club.

 

[Ashtonian]

lol

Not really no.

 

[gaino92]

All I get when I discuss Martinez with friends and work colleagues is "why do you want him sacked? He's doing a decent job. You're not going down and in a safe mid table position. Where do you think he should have you? Top 6? don't be unrealistic".

Totally depressing and it's driving me bonkers.

They are trying to wind you up mate and you're letting them. Just go along with it, that's what I do, turns the tables on them

learn to read then

 

[EddyKent]

His snide digs at Moyes fail to divert any attention away from his disastrous season.

Get rid. Now.

 

[Tubey]

The club are increasingly embarrassing me by the minute by their failure to act. I feel like I'm supporting Bournemouth, not Everton.

The fact he's still Everton manager right now is cringeworthy.

They are also probably concerned by the amount of F Off replies on twitter which may break their server!
