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

[EFC Si]

If Roberto Martinez has not been sacked by this morning then I despair, I really do. Did anyone else just know, have that feeling that Man utd were going to score? Enough is enough. Bobby, you're a genuinely sound guy but you are not capable of managing our great club.

How do you know this?

Without going into specifics, how high exactly are we talking ?

Proven winners or 'up and comers' who are highly regarded and getting teams punching above their weight ?

Both I would say mate, a couple of developing managers with higher profiles than Martinez in Europe and a couple of real "A listers".

David Moyes fits neither of those descriptions...pipe down lazy journos!

 

[The Esk]

Just that he will be given until xmas AT MOST, and the source? someone very keen on rugby R......E

I'm sure you've heard from excellent sources, but why would we be talking to highly desirable candidates now, if there was no plan to do anything until much later in the year?

 

[ijjysmith]

Sorry, I know it must be extremely boring to hear this again, but he is going.

We are talking to very high calibre candidates - the Board, and more importantly Moshiri knows that Martinez is not the right person to carry forward £100 m's of investment over the next few years.

It's just a question of short term timing, the next few days or the end of the season, that's it.....

Quite the opposite my friend. It's extremely reassuring.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I hope for some news tomorrow but I won't be holding my breath.

This season is over. And it has been a painful one. The club need restore our faith.

Exactly...it's not good for the tabloid style of posting that some like to do on here (ya know the drama queens), but for me this is the calm in a sea of would be chaos.

Mate your 8 months too late with thst haha

Kinda predicted it a while ago, although more related to the final

We lost the fa cup semi by still conceding a goal and not holding out

We lost the league cup semi by throwing away a good margin again.

That's what bothers most fans, or at least me. We kept him in charge for today's game despite the risk of this happening. We were the better team, the defence should have been locked down in those final minutes and yet they suddenly open up like magic for us to concede, and in stoppage time no less. Just like clockwork, the summing up of a poor managers reign

Do we ever make announcements/statements on a Sunday? Honest question.

Dunno mate. Maybe Monday is more realistic. My only thoughts were that if he's gonna go it's gonna be sooner rather than later this week while Roberto is still down in London where Bill and Moshiri are based.

But who knows. I am merely guessing here.

Don't blame you mate...poor accommodation & crap exchange rate!!
Why not try Turkey or Malta?

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

Gave it a couple of hours before I logged back on, decided to try to calm down a bit and be a bit more rational, but can't say my opinion has changed much.

Now I've read his interview too, and he's more deluded than ever.

 

[efcfanwirral]

the rest of the football world thinks we should just be happy with him, as 'who else will you get'. Do the board feel the same?

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Nah...that would be kopites trying to convince you that we are still where we were financially prior to Moshiri.

My RS mate tried to do the same thing when he asked who we might get. Every 'big' name he said no way...but then piped down as soon as I said Benitez took over a relegation side.
