I wonder what box set he has been watching?, or has Bill got some of his tv luvvies to put something together, imagining a Brian Blessed monologue linking it all up nicely, with subliminal images of Bill wiping a tear away. Maybe a few blood brothers tunes backing it all up.
 
Moyes was ok when he first came, he came in to save us from going down, just his ego grew over the last couple of years, Moyes will appoint his own backroom staff, and Smith's assistant Archie Knox has also left Everton.
And he immediately endeared himself to Everton fans when he said: "The Everton supporters deserve a good side.
"I am from a city (Glasgow) that is not unlike Liverpool. I am joining the people's football club. The majority of people you meet on the street are Everton fans.
"It is a fantastic opportunity, something you dream about. I said 'yes' right away as it is such a big club."

"I would be lying if I said it wasn't a big job. It's been a big job for all the previous managers here.
"I have great faith in what can be achieved here. I'm under no illusions. "I would prefer not to be in this situation, I would prefer to be at the top of the league."
 
Good interview, but he's kidding himself if he thinks he can 'bridge the gap' to the elite with 'patience'. I'm sure that was music to Kenwright's ears.

He won the F.A cup on coppers. From 2001 The winners have been
Liverpool
Arsenal
Man U
Arsenal
Chelsea who have won it 4 times
Man city
The other standout is Portsmouth who got lucky in the finaland got Cardiff and Portsmouth also spent a bit of money as well. Martinez donea hell of a job winning this cup.

I think he was talking about the PL, tbh.
 
He certainly seems to get it.

Needs to back it up with performances though. 3 points today is a must, get off to a strong start.
 
For me when I was younger I read a good few books on everton, now I know they can be biased, but as a kid and reading the great stories of everton it was roy of the rover stuff for real in the team I supported with dixie a legend. Dvd's are good but there is nothing like immersing yourself in the history and feeling apart of it with your imagination when reading about everton. Definitely the love affair with everton was cemented when I knew even more about them. As a fan we have a bigger commitment/ investment in the club we support for our mental well-being/happiness and why we want to see it understood and respected by our manager (and chairman ffs), but I like what I hear from martinez and I believe that he respects it and wants to create something for us, him and everybody connected with everton. Managers and chairmen can leave, fans are for life and very passionate which is we there can be lots of disagreements between supporters but it is all about our everton dna and wanting the best for our club, I think martinez gets it, lets hope the players get it (fellaini) and bring everton to the heights we belong.
 
i can imagine bill bringing a Video version of our history over to robbie's house for them to watch it together. Robbie then stares at him, telling him it's all about DVD's these days. So they head off to the store and buy a 2nd hand Video Player.

When they sit down and put it on, bill slouches into the sofa, not looking forward to the video, but then in true mike bassett fashion, he rises up, elbows on knees as the viedo buffers and changes to a different program. Martinez then says "Oh Bill, your wife has taped bloody Changing Rooms over the top", to which bill replies, "oh no robbie, you're wrong, it's not Changing Rooms, it's ground force" as he rubs his hands together, knowing the evening just got better.
 
love to see him do well for us,his passion is infectious.wasn't sure at all when he was hired but his first few weeks are winning me over.not complaining about the finances and doesn't seem to want to be hearing about the "punching above weight" media rubbish.also not complaining about the fixture sheet !!!!.refreshing.

I think toward the end of Moyes reign his negativity rubbed off on everyone. Having someone so positive coming in is good for everyone.
