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

[TyphooToffee]

We will get a new manager.

I still think we'll get to the final. I know that seems a daft thing to say but I reckon the players sense he is on the way out and will do something special for the fans today. I will be watching the game in a pub in Barnet with my Utd-supporting brother-in-law. He's relishing the fact that they will tear us apart! After the game there is a BIG family get-together, so it will be a very happy evening for me regardless of the result

Article: Martinez accepts the blame for Everton's recent slump

No sympathy on Martinez. It's not 6 or 7 games after the Chelsea game. It's 20 months of underachievement which cause the scrutiny.

Still 395 votes for keeping him?

I take my hat off to davek and Zatara, they're running nearly 200 multis each.

According to one poster, he will see his contract out.

Is it wrong to want to lose the semi if it meant Martinez would go? I'm in such a quandary.....

Enjoy the semi final mate, it's outcome has no bearing on Martinez' future at this club other than perhaps the precise timing of his departure on days or weeks.

Like bailing out a sinkin ship with a collander

I hope so mate. I seriously hope so

Yes it is wrong to want to lose semi, all those fans who haven't see us win anything, all those kids dressed in Everton colours all excited.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

In a nutshell, not good enough to manage this great club...

Regardless of the result today, I would sack him tomorrow.

Our next game in any competition is next Saturday at home against Bournemouth. The FA Cup final is on the 21st May.

I'd get a temporary manager in on Monday morning with five days to prepare for what should be an easy three points against a newly-promoted team who are now safe and have nothing much to play for. Then there's a full week until we go to Leicester, more vital preparation time.

If we win today, we might be able to bring in Mourhino as the temporary guy - the carrot for this type of appointee is the FA cup final. If we lose today then I'd appoint Royle and Sheedy.

 

[Samsonthedog]

He's 100% gone in the morning if we loose. Cant see anyone but Unsworth taking over till the end of the season.

If they didn't sack him after Wednesday, there is no way he will be fired if we win today....

 

[ToffeeMark]

Make or break, lose today and I'm finally going to change my vote to "out"

Yes, I'm hanging on, I know, you're probably right

Some bloke at my boys football academy last night spotted my Everton coat and said "you're brave wearing that". I said there's always tomorrow mate.

Then at the end some woman comes up to me and unzips her coat and shows me her chest

and she was wearing an Everton shirt. See Everton fans, never hide, we take the abuse because we know we're genuine and not plastics and all those smarmy tools can do one....

I have always supported Martinez but that has now gone. Always thought he had us on the cusp of something great with our exciting expansive football but was just not quite there. Have enjoyed most of his style since he has been here and thought we were a tweak away from being a very good team. Seems he tweaked the wrong way and we don't look half the team we where and not helped by players sulking and mouthing off. We look passionless, lethargic and defo not up for any kind of battle. The manager and players are just not on the same wave length anymore as we can see in our play of the recent month or so.

 

[applecrumble]

Its Everton - should we loose I expect Martinez to be given a heafty pay rise and some funds so we can sign Carrick and a couple more Wigan Players.
