The silence from the board is deafening.

They are showing complete and utter contempt for the fanbase.

Or they are busy doing something else....

What did the ESK say

Read the home page article for the broad brush. Gives the general view of where he believes we are.

did you enjoy the movie?

Hahaha all chairs left intact and no broken knee caps

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.

Petr, I was thinking along those lines until about a month ago but what has happened since then in terms of him losing the dressing room, the performances , and come on mate are you honestly still wanting him to stay a minute longer after last night,did you see his post match interview it was worthy of an Alan Partridge sketch.

Do we have to take you to the vet?

 

[Khalekan]

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.

Well, I expected them to say "you're fired" to Roberto.

Failing that, to have given him the "vote of confidence" that is a coded message to the fans saying "don't worry, we're on this, lids"......

On topic ish lads.

Even is it is a painful few days atm.

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.

I really can't disagree with a lot of what you've said to be fair, I was excited after the 1st season thinking I might actually see a successful Everton at last, I was 11 in 1995 so maybe I've become accustomed to seeing us not win cups that as soon as I see us looking like where slipping back to those relagation days that plagued my childhood, I just want the club to act fast to sort it out even if that means getting rid of a manager before the semi. I'd love to see success here and believe me I really want to see us win the FA cup this year but I'm thinking I want success long term and not just a quick fix at the cost of the league

Nor would I.

But we should have heard one or the other two.
