The photos of BK and Martinez leaving the same hotel on the same day?

You would imagine Future plans (etc.) would have been discussed in the first 2 meetings and would have been part of the interview process. The only things that would need to be sorted after compensation would be a contract and you wouldn't reach that stage unless you had your man.

But we'd already spoke to him and Whelan had already said that he'd given permission for him to speak to us.

Yesterday 'Sky Sources' was Dave Whelan. We wouldn't be talking compensation if we weren't planning to appoint Martinez.

They're taking that from the statement Everton released, which says talks are ongoing but doesn't mention the word 'candidates'

No...

Which part? Martinez would win the league? Much like Scotland it's a 2 horse race, I'm not saying he isn't a decent manager (although I don't really know either way), I'm saying that winning the Portugese league with the best squad in Portugal isn't the amazing achievement most on here will...

Completely agree. Put Martinez at Porto and he'd at least match what Pereira has done, just look at Pereira's European record, average at best. People just love an 'Exotic' name

You still want him to succeed, even if you know he probably won't.

The players and the manager are part of the club whilst they are contracted here. If you aren't keen on a manager or a player that's fine, but you want them to do well whilst they are at Everton.

Better off without 'fans' like this.

Great post, sums up exactly how I feel perfectly.

Do people not think perhaps Martinez was just looking to justify leaving Wigan without saying "I'm too good for you now" ?

But there'd only be about 300 votes in it, that's without considering who the rest of the voters might change their vote to if it was just between those 2.

It also says 985 people out of 1529 don't want Pereira.

AVB and Mourinho both won European trophies with Porto aswell as league titles, from what I read Pereira's record in Europe is rather poor?

True, he's no more of a risk either.

I reckon Martinez would win the Portugese league with the side Porto has. McClaren has won a league title, would people be up for having him in charge?

Yes but he may rate himself higher than an upper mid-table side with nothing to spend.

With Hughes set to be appointed at Stoke and it being somewhat unlikely he'd get the Malaga job Martinez is risking a lot on getting the Everton job if he hasn't had any kind of assurance.
