It's a common theme, I know a lot of Newcastle fans up here who feel the same way about their club. Unfortunately football is big business now, and club owners know that staying in the premier league means £££££, mainly due to those pimps at Sky. Club owners are content with staying in the PL, it's a crap situation really for fans who get raped with ticket prices, shirt sales and all the rest of the expense involved, following clubs who have little ambition other than staying in the league

Newcastle fans demand far more.
The problem is that the love their club too much and will still go to the games. Football is a business and while Goodison is packed and we're comfortably in the league nothing will force Bill out.
However I wouldn't worry too much about it - At least Bill doesn't take money out of the club which means if we where to build a stadium we could compete.
The days of a sugar daddy coming in and buying titles and trophies is over. Why do you think Monaco and other teams are quickly selling off all their players? They know they can't sustain that spending. I haven't looked into the situation at Parma but I wouldn't be surprised if that was down to a sugar daddy pulling out due to FFP too.
This is as bad as we've been since Walter Smith, and to be honest given the talent we actually have in the squad, this is worse.
So yes, it's that bad.
I do not trust him to rebuild.
When you build something you start from the back with a strong defence and move up but martinez has not got a clue about how to defend.
The foundations will never be solid.
In 6 seasons he has had 5 relegation scraps and i think thats who he is.
To play 2 defensive midfielders and still concede 5 goals is a big worry,there is something very wrong with his thinking

I am comparing the two.
one is a fantastic defender turned into midfielder/attacker and the other is a good midfielder turned into a fanastic defender.
Most of what we did well over the past 2 years had coleman at the heart of it and certainly if he was spanish or from south america he would be getting sold for tens of millions. But yeah, i think he is quality and certainly the better full back between him and baines.

In the last 20 years Newcastle have competed for the title, played regular Champions League football, been managed by one of England's greatest managers, Had the Premier league all time top scorer play for them, spent millions on upgrading their ground and new players.
They have no right to complain

Imagine the conversation last season when he conned us
Bobby - Bill, I know you have given me new players but I would like a couple more on loan to make a real statement.
Bill - No problem, who do you want.
Bobby - Lukaku & Barry
Bill - Big statement Bobby but you do realize that if these 2 work out then we will have to buy them next season and leave no money for any more.
Bobby - Doesn't matter Bill as the fans will think I am boss and will never forget my first season and think it's the norm and you will give me a new 5yr deal.
Bill - OK Bobby I'm in.

But after the Newcastle game it was said he had!
He still may have done (because the fans made it clear he had to to keep his job, but that's by the by) - last night may have just been a poor selection rather than a poor mindset. In fact, I'm fairly sure we'll approach the QPR game like we did Newcastle.
Doesn't change the fact we got utterly humiliated though does it?

6-4 in a tie isn't exactly humiliating is it? We hit the post twice and could have done a lot better.
Still, it's best to exaggerate the situation for better effect I suppose.
5-2 on the night, one of those goals pointless, may as well have been 5-1, got our arses handed to us on a plate.
I'd actually say "humiliated" isn't a strong enough word myself.

Having had the time to reflect via the gift of a quite restless nights kip. I still want him offed. Not 'kneejerk' either, it is a considered opinion...
It's the interviews, they finish me TBH, the constant drone of filthy positivity & wronged logic. A bit of honesty would be nice. And this constant (from some quarters anyway) wibbling stutter '...Oh, but last years record points haul'. Well, and what? As with everything it's about the now innit. You bang on about the past too much, you sound like one of them.
He had it, he's lost it, hugely. He had them, he lost them, hugely. He had a LOT of us...move on.
I repeat...LUKAKU last night, bollocking/sternly 'advising' ROSS as to where the kid should be playing. Others genuinely NOT looking like they've a clue what the plan is. A game of such magnitude, such importance, they should be WELL versed. If the instruction isn't clear it isn't clear because A) It isn't delivered properly or B) The players don't believe in the instruction offered (or the person delivering it).
I've never seen player look so bemused on such a regular basis.
There was a shot of RM las night, can't remember how many down we were, enough to get animated anyway. And he stood, silent, staring, arms folded and you just knew he was thinking 'SH!T, what now?'. The man is footballing one-way street.
The entire season is an utter shambles. Pre-season the same. His misgivings are clear and cannot be missed by any thinking person; his ineptitude, at times, is astonishing. And so much kek-wetting over the NEWCASTLE game. Pffff...THAT was the blip, not the rest of it.
You can't offer excuses, it's there in THIS seasons figures, not LAST seasons.
I'd say the QPR game is pretty well his most important now as EVERTON manager. And I genuinely think he has neither the plums nor savvy to get onto that.
And after all that, he's not goin' anywhere.

Newcastle were the worst team I've seen at Goodison for a fair while... utter utter tripe.
