Out of interest, Esk, do you think Kenwright would stick with martinez if it was still his call?

No idea as I have not asked him. Conventional thinking is that he would but Bill must see the damage Martinez is doing to our club so I'm not so sure.

Can I suggest that you don't ask him, as it might make him think he's not on his own in wanting to retain RM.

Was it on here that I saw someone refer to RM as the 'Matalan Catalan', cracked me up enormously that.

Is the assumption then that Martinez is staying in the short term for financial reasons or that it would simply make for a smoother transition to do it once the season is over.

Everton Football Club looks shameful today, it really does.
Every blue knows what should have been done and yet we are trying to find reasons for those who will not do what is best for us , the fans.
If this is a sign of things to come it could two more decades before we see a club ready to challenge for the top honours in the game.
I am sorry but I cannot have these whispers from inside the club of what might happen in a few days, weeks or months.
As a fan, I see a manager who is getting paid £3M notes a year to us tell every Thursday and post games a bunch of lies to our faces.
As a fan, I see a board who are incapable of acting in the best interests of us all except for themselves.
Rotten and shameful to the last drop

I reckon there will be nothing smooth about the next few weeks if he's still in charge

I think the main asumption from the majority is that this is a significant mistake for which we can see no logic or anything positive to be gained.

I would have thought that the sort of money involved is insignificant in the TV deal Moshiri's piggy bank scheme of things. As for a smoother transition - when the manager goes, he goes end of. He does not hang around for a few weeks to prepare a formal handover for his successor and have a couple of leaving parties.

I just dont get it?????????????????????

There is no footballing reason for him to still be at the club, as right now its doing more harm then good, I can only presume its coming down to another side of things. Severance, Compo etc.

Though i highly doubt its the £2m being banded about.

There's a Bournemouth adult ticket on StubHub for a tenner, and I still reckon that it is a bit too expensive.

If they go down to about a fiver I'll pounce, but that's purely because I ain't paying more than £5-6 to boo.

I agree with you... just trying to get my head around the boards decision... although, that way madness lies.
