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

[orly]

It's becoming totally un-Everton.

The position of manager at Everton is one that deserves respect whatever you think about his performance....his employers will make judgement on that, not disgruntled fellas at an U-21 game. If you want to encourage a new Manager then showing him publically the abuse he'll get if things don't go well may well shorten the queue of applicants.

It's not good.

He wasn't abused.

The Biesla article from the Echo I refer to.

There is simply no need for it to be reported unless driven by the club in my eyes.

To be fair that conversation looked pretty civil to me, no manager deserves to be abused personally, criticised I'd things aren't going well yes but not abused, good on him to stand and explain himself

Just logged in first thing in the morning over here...what happened then?

I agree; It looked to end on bad terms to be fair though. Would have expected a handshake like.

Don't think it helped Jones pulled him away though

A lot of chat saying the worst it got was 'get out of our club'. Hardly deep personal abuse.

In fact if people slating him on here, anonymous behind keyboards, aren't prepared to meet the man and tell him what they think [and then pass judgment on an Evertonian from a photo-still ffs, not even a video) then they are the bigger snides.

I think most have made it clear IF it was personal abuse then it's out of order or do you disagree? Looking at the video it seems relatively calm which is perfectly fine as we are entitled to a sensible opinion but naturally there is a line.

Jones pulled him away because he was getting too close to the man and was in danger of defending his position, something the current management team don't like.

Ye; Bobby kind of had to go really eh.

Makes it all the sadder that its gone the way it has; bloody good bloke but for the sake of both parties, need to leave soon.

Going to go out on a limb here and say that if the club has been looking around for potential replacements, then Martinez should feel aggrieved.

Why we'd let it run on like this is appalling and completely unprofessional.

If some random on a forum knows about it, then obviously the players and the management does too. It's impossible to effectively perform your duties in these kind of environments.

Sad would be a conversation with an adult. Lecturing a minor is embarrassing.

Are we being serious here?

It's his extremely well numerated job to oversee the entire playing structure, including the team that - in theory - feeds directly into the senior side.

What abuse?... I saw a young evertonian taliking to his team's manager. It's all good

 

[Lanolin]

Ah come off it. Manhandling catterick for dropping young? Daubing Kendall out on the side of goodison? Jamming the park foods phone lines and hanging off the back off johnsons car? Throwing cushions on the pitch after a defeat?

We're an inner city football club, not a Home Counties cricket team. Our fans have always been volatile and always will be.

I don't condone anybody giving the man personal abuse but people saying it's ok to slag him off at the match when everyone's doing it but not ok to actually try to talk to him face to face come across pretty badly.
