Daily Mail rag puts the boot into Martinez, the night before the derby

[toffeejack]

Mirror article on Sunday slagging off team morale, apparently a player of ours has been slipping information to them and a no warts and all article is to published.

One things for sure, that player will not be at the club next season.

Roberto Martinez criticised for 'boring' Everon training sessions while trusted staff have left... how it turned sour for the boss

They cant even spell our name right.

It was Li Tie who said it though.

Also Steve tashijan has already said he left for family reasons to return the usa
and didnt billows leave before or very early on in robertos reign

Billow left for Newcastle in the summer I think. However they have had at least as bad, if not worse, injury problems as us. So as a single person not sure how much he influences things other than the players being happy under his care.

As the Mail's own data proved we have had a similar level of injuries as we did under Moyes.
"Sportsmail examined the club’s injury record in more detail and can report that in Martinez’s 20 months in charge there have been 105 injuries, 85 of them to key players. Compare that to the last 20 months of Moyes’s tenure: 93 injuries with 60 to key players. Not a huge difference, but a rise all the same."

The biggest difference is that they have hit more of our first eleven than usual. It isn't even the age of our squad, Barkley/Stones/McCarthy/Coleman are some of the youngest members and they have all spent considerable time out.

Timing not good for sure, but some interesting points there.

See several of our players are all back up to fitness not long after the doctor left too

This is the first feature on us in how long ? Coincidentally released on the night before the derby.

This is getting [Poor language removed] ridiculous.

Man loves to talk the media and they're turning on him, should start sending Ferguson and other coaches to talk to them.

And the "Well placed source" "Dressing room source" With so many people talking, you'd think you'd get a better story.

 

[Moomin]

Clubs media have turned on him, trying to make him resign.

Tashjian gave a years notice he was leaving for the U.S. when Moyes was still actually at the club in May 2013! To pin this on Martinez is a joke.

Billows left in summer 2014, after a good season, because he was offered more money by Newcastle. Again, trying to pin this on Martinez is just bollox.

It's made out like losing Eto'o was a loss, when his actions at Sampdoria after just one game have shown him up to be the bad apple that he supposedly was at EFC.

Making an angle from the Lennon photos as well hahaha, garbage journalism.

Still need to question why clearly no suitable replacements didn't come in and take over, seeing as he had 12 months notice he had plenty of time to fill the void.

He's deserves credit where it's due like last season but for stuff like this and pre season he equally deserves criticism.

Yep, and the line about 'a player unhappy at moving to the north west on loan' - Lennon is born & bred in Leeds, all his family live up here! The whole article is such a transparent crock of [Poor language removed] designed to destabilise the club the night before a big game.

The club really should show some balls & ban the Mail from the club. If they're gonna write lies then they need to be prepared to pay the price.

So what? Does that make him the best person for the job? Is that all the criteria that was required?

TBf to him he is supposed to be very highly regarded. Though he has been so so in his first few months in the role
