Roberto Martinez Discussion - Including Live Poll (Poll Reset 1st May)

[bluewally]

There's something wrong with Google.

Every permutation of Everton, sack and Martinez keeps coming back with the wrong answer

Given the overwhelming negativity towards Martinez and my newbie status, I'm probably on a hiding to nothing but here goes.

I was not happy when he was originally appointed. A manager with a relegation on his CV represented a huge gamble. However, I thought his first season in charge was spectacular. It may well have been due to the team that Moyes built, but I enjoyed it more than any of the previous 10 seasons. The second season was a disappointment but one I was happy to draw a line under because of the previous one. This season's league campaign has been a disaster in terms of results and league position, but there have still been some very impressive performances to draw hope from. I was genuinely over-the-moon with Martinez's stance over Stones and thrilled that the player stayed at the club. The nurturing of Barkley and Lukaku and the signing of Deulofeu instilled hope.

I'm old school. Every FA Cup win is burnt on my brain. I will remember every single one of them achieved in my lifetime, much more than a top 4 or 6 finish in the Prem. If we lose on Saturday then fairplay, feed Roberto to the lions. However, should he win the trophy, I'll happily stick with him until Christmas. It's been 21 years after all.

Good luck to the lads on Saturday.

21 years will do that to anyone but I think it's a straight choice between short and long term success

Even by Christmas next year he could have done irreparable damage

Who's going to sign for a club with such a toxic dressing room

Will Bobby change or will a cup validate his methods to himself

I summon the defender of all things Martinez to consult his opinion on this current situation.

Who on Earth are the 405 people still voting 'IN'?

Arguably the worse manager that we've ever had and the only conclusion is relegation if he's allow to continue for another season.

The silence from the board is deafening.

They are showing complete and utter contempt for the fanbase.

I think I was 8 years old when I learned to not rise to embarrassing baiting from kids who think their opinion is worth more than others.

So as I said...

lollollol
Good grief.

Perfect response.

Your footballing nous suggests you are still 8 years old

Very good! Sorry, I can't get behind those sentiments.

As long as Everton are still in the Cup and as unpopular as it may be, I'll be backing Martinez and the players and forgiving should the trophy be delivered.

What do you expect them to say?

It is evident from The Esk that something is afoot. They aint likely to go public with that. What would be the point of an announcement on anything? We just have to hope @The Esk is on the right lines, (as a mate, I would trust him with my life), and wait.

And fume, obvs.
