"I think he's going to do well here, he's exactly what we need"

Thought we'd signed someone then. Sake.

A lot of people think we should move on from Martinez...

...yep, I honestly don't know. For me I think change is more of a risk at this stage. I'm not blindly saying he's the man but I'm wary that change could be drastic. History shows that teams who change manager after a short spell fail. I'd keep the faith for that reason alone and stay with RM.

The first 90 seconds of this video about Mike Walker's first game as Everton manager, complete with fans outside the ground offering their opinion on how Mike Walker is the best thing to happen to Everton in a very long time, is rather amusing in hindsight.

Food for thought...

@Dario Terracotta, get in touch with @BoysInBlue and get this in too

Any ESCLA boys watching that video might have recognised the late Patsy Slevin......middle aged bloke in a flat cap.

Great fellow, Patsy

Scouser domiciled in London and never missed a game, travelling up on the ESCLA train.

I knew him and shared many a post-match pint with him after our away games in London in the early 90s.

Ireland fan as well, he used to come over for the home games.

Hadn't seen him for many years so I didn't know he was no longer with us. Shocked to hear it.

RIP Pat (as I knew him).

Yes, Patsy was a big Ireland fan, always went to Dublin for the games.

I was in Ireland with him was when we played Drogheda in a friendly circa 1995ish.

And also in Belfast when we played Glentoran in a pre season friendly in which Peter Beardsley scored his first goal for us.

He died round about the turn of the century, Ed.

RIP

I hate that the very first poll, which I made, was done in jest but has now become a regular, serious topic. I turned GOT into B AWK, and for that I apologise!

15 years ago ?? God, he wasn't that old then.

Great fella as you have said, quiet and unassuming but he spoke his mind about Everton.
