I thought this was the Koeman thread? Maybe i'll find Koeman talk in the Martinez thread...
Oh hey up here comes the thread police.

there will always be 'outliers' as such, but in general, better wages = better players= higher league position
Haha no chance Dave. You don't get to set an arbitrary benchmark of Martinez' one good season, just so you can turn around in a few months and say "Look! Koeman is worse than Martinez!"
Martinez inherited a really solid team who finished 6th. Koeman has inherited one of the most unbalanced Everton squads i've ever seen in my lifetime, on the back of two 11th place finishes and the worst home record in our history.
1st season Martinez vs. 1st season Koeman is not a fair comparison.
I did a hit and miss earlier on in the year, suppose I can revisit it.

Koeman / Megson / tosh manager
Williams = £.9.5 mil (2 years then Distined)
Valencia = £1mil+ loan fee £14.5mil buyout
Gueye = £6.5mil (signed by Walsh
Bolasie = £28mil
So we have an ageing centre back, useless forward and the most overpriced player in our history signed by Koeman...
Lucky walsh signed Gueye.

Which 1 is the most overhyped player in our history?
No one is going to pay for Rodriguez he can't even get into U23. And players into 29/30 will hardly redeem the original fees when he is sold.
The price only went crazy this summer due to the new tv money. I honestly don't understand your point, are you saying the fraud Martinez is a better manager than Koeman in every aspect?
Why are you calling a former manager who did his best for the club + always spoke of us very highly a fraud?
As for Koeman, he's not really a 'manager' is he...just a former superstar player.
Or as Moshiri says "Hollywood".
