For me the blame lies in the executive team, the people whose jobs are to act in the best interests and negotiate the very best deals on behalf of the club and shareholders. The fact that we seem almost always to be on the wrong end of contractual terms points firmly at them and our legal advisors. How our CEO has the gall to face shareholders and fans and claim we are well run is beyond me.

Hopefully we will see this change soon?
 

Blimey I hope this stops people from stating that nothing has changed. Only Blue Bill would have made a blunder like this.
 
The deal should have been Martinez had to be the toffee lady for the next 10-yrs at every home game, not a bad deal, 1 + million a year.
 

Nice one Bill handing out a cast iron long term contract. If he had just waited 6 month's he would have seen no one was going to be poaching el zapatos marrones.

Now he owes Everton 20 million for this disaster and for Arteta.

As for Martinez obviously on paper he can take the club to the cleaners, but he got 3 years at a big club that his performance didn't deserve. He had plenty of time to turn things around but he was virtually MIA for the last 4/5 month's, he left us zero options but to fire him!!! He could have easily taken 1 years salary for a settlement and possibly had it so he could have more if he didn't find another job after that first year. To take it to court to get full compensation even after finding another job, he's basically sticking a big middle finger up to us all. He is worse than Moyes not signing a new contract before going to utd.

I hope one day he is back managing in this league and we can play his back passing sorry excuse of a team on the last day of the season so we can send them down. In the words of kk I would love it.

There are over 10 million reasons why virtually anyone would go after that money if they thought they would win. Morally bankrupt? I guarantee that every last one of you would fight tooth and nail for a tenth of that money if you felt it was owed to you.

That's the qualifier though, just look at these stats and see if you think you would have felt you have done enough to keep your job knowing what football management is like:

- last 10 games LLDDDLLWLL

- Everton have faced 121 shots in their last five games in all competitions

- He signed Niasse

- 10th time this season Everton have conceded twice within six mins (seven times within four mins)

- The Toffees lost 48 points from winning positions during Martinez's three years in charge

- He signed Niasse and he was our 3rd most expensive player in our history

- Zero points recovered from losing positions since early December (22 PL games)

- Seven of Everton's last eight victories came against teams in the bottom six

- He signed Niasse and didn't even play him

- The 55 goals conceded this season is the most since Everton let in 57 in 2003-04.

- Second straight season club will post sub-50 point total after 10 years reaching a minimum of 50 points (+60 in six)

- Martinez recorded Everton's worst haul 20 points at home in the club's 138-year history

- The Blues have won just four Premier League matches in 2016 and have taken only nine points from their last 12 matches

- Everton have won just 10 league games all season - only the bottom four have a worse record

- Everton have conceded 3+ goals 11 times in all competitions this season

- The Toffees have conceded 3+ goals in 20 of Roberto Martinez's 113 Premier League games

- Did I mention he signed Niasse?

Then throw in he lost the fans and the players what choice did he give is. If he wanted to keep his job he should have won some football matches. If he took 3 even 4 million I would have said fair play he had a contract, 10 million is just taking the michael. It wasn't a sort of Nigel Adkins case at Southampton where the team were exceeding expectations but still got fired.

The fact of the matter remains though is he was clearly legally owed the money or he wouldn't have won the settlement.

Like it or not, Martinez was owed the money, and he fought for it just as anyone would. It's not morally bankrupt at all.

You would have done the exact same thing if it was stated in your contract. Blame Bill...don't blame Roberto for going after what was legally his.
