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

[USABlue]

Right this second I could give two poops who our manager is or isn't.

I want a trophy more than anything else.

is right ijjy. 21 years without a trophy is too long

 

[ijjysmith]

I know but I'm shot. Never in my life did I expect to feel like this about a semi final of a trophy I hold in high regard.

I don't trust any of them to get a result tomorrow mate, at all. It kills me.

I can totally understand this point of view too to be fair.

And I'm letting myself into a fall but I'm either just excited, or quite confident.

Or an utter idiot.

 

[exiledtoffee]

Forget him.

This isn't about him.

It's about Everton. Everton at Wembley. Everton near a trophy.

We can do this. I can feel it.

Hmmm.... I must be a couple hours behind you on the ale today ijjy but getting closer to your lines of thinking.

 

[Zatara]

True.

But on the other hand, why would he sack him on the eve of a semi final? Serves no real purpose this late in the day.

Personally, I think he is lining up a high calibre manager, (based on what others better placed than me have said), and Martinez might deliver a pot anyrate.

The facfs and figures show were mid table and where we should be based on transfer fees and wages.

Its more about moshiri watching the games for me as the figures dont point to martinez underachieving by much.

Stop being mental mate. Please.

We need for one day put a differences with the manager aside. If we go to Wembley with the current attititude we become our own enemy. By all means let's advocate for change but he is whether we like it or not leading us out tomorrow and for those 90 minutes we need to support our football club and yes that includes manager as well.

Not having a go at you mate, but anyone that thinks this is an issue, has let the whole "Martinez Out" thing influence their thinking so much that they think there is a significant minority who would rather be against the manager than they are for the team.

Over 2500 Blues sang "We're on the march with Bobby's Army" at Anfield on Wednesday until it became obvious we'd pretty much lost the game. I'd guess very few of those singing think Martinez is doing a good job, but we still want to vocalise our support.

Like many others, I want Martinez out, but supporting the team is more important than that, so we'll be a bit two-faced about it and give vocal support to the manager as well as the team.

If we lose after the game, or it's obvious that we've lost before the final whistle, then frustrations will be aired and, because he's in charge then any frustrations will, quite rightly, be pointed in the direction of the manager.

If thats the case, somebody really needs to tell Leicester and Newcastle they are in the wrong places.

 

[Blue Magic]

I think there's a chance Martinez would resign if he won the cup. Deep down I think he knows he's lost the dressing room ad it can only get worse.

Yet if he walks away, he'll have two FA Cups with different teams on his CV, both for clubs who hadn't won anything for decades. He would get another job or a chance in Spain on the back of that. I think it would be a nice ay for him to go.

I'm sure someone could correct me if I am wrong, but I suspect it is the case that Martinez stands to do better financially if he is sacked rather than resigning himself. I therefore think it is unlikely that he will. The most likely outcome in my opinion is that he is replaced at the end of the season.

 

[Harry Catterick]

I think he needs to go but he has been unlucky. This season 73 points will walk into the Champions League and if RM with that total in 2014 had got that the whole story may have been different. He was like a breath of fresh air with his positive approach in that first season but it's all unraveled since. Looking back I think the writing was probably on the wall in the closing stages of the 2013/14 season when after beating Arsenal a Champions League place was in his own hands but he couldn't close it out!

 

[Azza]

Uchh why is he still our manager?

 

[dannyboy]

Gutted he's leading us out tomorrow. Who knows though, still going to be praying for a miracle.

 

[SPOTTER]

Don't you think it's strange that our massive downturn in form has coincided with the New owner?Early season you could say we were unlucky but now out play is proper poor. I believe the players have never been convinced with Martinez tactics and they are down tooling now because they now see big changes ahead and want Martinez gone.Hopefully they play for everton and themseves tomorrow rather than Martinez.

 

[kithnou]

It is what it is folks.
Players come and go. Managers come and go.
Let's focus on the big picture and the experience tomorrow and enjoy our day at Wembley
