So the new owner or should I say invester is to attend the match on Saturday, wonder if Bobby will be sweating then again I'm sure he has already brain washed him that his philosophy is right and everybody else is wrong oh god I think we are stuck with Bobby for a while yet.

08 Mar 2016 22:07:47
Afraid so Stef the blue. I'd imagine he's here until the summer at least. He may start the new season. Giving him the money in the summer wouldn't be that bad of a thing as his recruitment has been good.

But would rather see a new manager spend the money to build his own team whoever it may be.

As the comment below says about building the house. Martinez could be here until October or November. I expect December at the latest we'll have a new manager.

Whoever will be making the decisions by then will surely have seen enough. I was still hopeful there was a chance Martinez would turn things around up until last Sat.

Hopeful not sure he would. I woke up after the game. The sooner he's gone the better for Everton F. C. I'm sure of that now.

{Ed025's Note - not many think different NBTB..

08 Mar 2016 22:25:58
Too true Ed025. Looked at the poll 88% wanting him to go. If there's another result like Sat do you think he'll be let go before the end of the season? Or if there is a mini run of bad results before end of season, will he be gone? My above comment was on the basis he does ok until the end of the season.

I have to agree with Toffee Ace comment below especially the last paragraph about being sick of thinking we won games in the 80th then losing. Feeling like a complete loser for the whole weekend then.

It's depressing, seriously think if we get decent manager future is very good.

{Ed025's Note - i think it would take us to go out of the cup and a couple of losses on the trot for him to be axed NBTB, my view is that he will see the season out mate..

08 Mar 2016 22:29:33
Me too mate Saturday was the final straw for me aswell just can't see why the board can't see this.

{Ed025's Note - but if we beat chelsea saturday, then arsenal and liverpool, you can bet your life the mood will change and the "lets give him till christmas" brigade will be out in full force stef..

08 Mar 2016 22:44:56
As I said above I think the same myself. But I'm not as sure as you about beating Chelsea. As you said you are sure we will. It would fit in to how the season is going so far. A rollercoaster ride is an understatement.

I think we are going to get beat Sat. It pains me to say it but I'm not confident. It's the way we lose that is disheartening.

Nothing make me happier if we win FA cup and finish in top 8. Just can't see it happening. I'm not one of these people who hope we lose just so Martinez goes.

I always want us to win. At least our last manager was stable and steady. My emotions are all over the place under Martinez. I'm starting to be a moody sh*t like the Mrs 😂.

08 Mar 2016 22:50:46
I was a let's give him til October a couple of weeks ago but after Saturday I would not let him take another training session never mind match the man is a lunatic and he is destroying us I have no confidence left everytime we take the field I expect to be beat.

08 Mar 2016 23:05:31
I don't know about him being a lunatic but I'm fed up of being all over the place with results. Our home record is dire. That's part of the reason I'm not confident about Sat.

I'll go into games not expecting anything. At least that way I won't be disappointed.

I stayed quiet and was as fair as I could to Martinez up until now. Can't hold it in anymore. Has to go.

Hey, if he proves me wrong and wins 10 out of the remaining 13 games I think it is, including FA cup, and gets us into champions league next season. 4 seasons on from when he promised it.

I will eat the sweetest humble pie ever known to mankind! Gladly.

Seems a lot feel RM's days are numbered and I have to agree! I was checking updates on Saturday and I don't think my nerves and health can take it much more! The joy of going 1 up back down with a thud with the red card! Punching the air with Lennon's goal then two body blows and a knockout punch as we concede late on! Like many others this ruined my weekend! How can other managers close out games and RM can't?
I really hope action is taken either someone buy him "defending for dummies! " Or the "idiots guide to seeing a game out! "
Question is, who would we want to see come in as manager?

{Ed025's Note - pellegrini would do me ST..

08 Mar 2016 21:48:51
I'm with you on that one Ed. I think we need a top established manager if we are going to keep these players.

We also need to raise our profile if we want to take that next step. I think Manny might just take up the offer if we went for him.

I also think Manchini would take up an offer in the EPL and if there is anyone this team needs it's someone that knows how to get a team to defend.

{Ed025's Note - very true john..

09 Mar 2016 08:16:57
shortlist for me would be - andre villas boas, unai emery, manuel pellegrini, jose mourinho, and eddie howe, think with the squad we have just now these guys would have us playing excellent.

09 Mar 2016 09:53:13
If we make change it needs to be for a proven, established manager at a high level. Shortlist for me would be Unai Emery, Frank de Boer, Pellegrini, Mancini.

I would also add Bilic but there's no chance of that. I would be dead against Benitez or AVB.

If we go for another young unproven manager like Howe/ Karanka/ Dunc/ Neville then I fail to see how that would be a step up from Martinez (who was in that category when he joined) .

If we get rid of RM it must be to take us to the next level. We therefore need a manager capable of doing that. If we don't, then we may as well stick with Bobby.

If the board are waiting till season is over they need to replace him quickly as new manager will need funds. No point in giving rm the transfer budget then sacking him 5-7 games in to season. Best thing for efc is let him go after Saturday regardless of result, get new manager and let him see team, then he knows what to do in summer and we start a fresh. I am sick of him talking, bad decisions, it's a joke. I actually think he ain't got a clue. Or he doesn't care as he knows his time is up.

Either way new manager very fast. We missed out this year and if we finish in bottom half we got no chance of attracting any players. I just don't see a good end to this for a few seasons. Hope I'm wrong but to many clubs spending got stadiums and we have lost out with the best team we had in years.

08 Mar 2016 20:20:42
Agree totally.

08 Mar 2016 21:06:19
Agree with what your saying but RM will still be our manager next season.

{Ed025's Note - it would not surprise me SB..

08 Mar 2016 21:14:10
Squad assessment is easy enough and anyone coming into the club will quite quickly be able to see who he needs to bring in.

I think bringing a manager in now will put pressure on him to get results when the team is not at it's best.

Even Klopp came in for early stick at Liverpool even though none of the players are his and their a pile of sh well you fill in the letters.

Let him take over in the summer get a couple of players in and get them understanding his philosophy.

Well we can dream can't we.

Moshiri

Go get frank de boer. Cut rm lose and please don't bring in some has been who has done the rounds of the prem.
We don't need some up and coming manager who can't attract players we need to make statement of what we want in future.

08 Mar 2016 12:26:37
My goodness Martinez now saying we don't have a problem defending crosses sorry I got nothing else to say I'm flabbergasted

08 Mar 2016 12:37:11
the man really doesn't know how much of a fool he is making of himself.

08 Mar 2016 14:16:13
i actually think he does but he"s not arsed.

08 Mar 2016 17:21:04
Toffeepaul I think its a case of him being that thick skinned he doesn"t think he's doing or saying anything wrong. All I know is he's slowly strangling the life outta our club.

09 Mar 2016 02:05:02
I know Leachy what kind of an idiot can say we don't have a problem conceding goals from crosses when we give up a two goal lead in 3 mins by conceding two goals from crosses. And then concede again 7 mins later from another cross.

08 Mar 2016 11:37:57
. reports coming out of the U. S. A. By NBC this morning that Martinez is facing the sack as a number of players in the dressing room have lost faith in him and his clueless tactics and that Moshiri is likely to make the change at the end of the season if results and league positioning don't change quickly which we all know won't happen! Really hope this report is true!

08 Mar 2016 19:44:48
Best news I've heard all day god hope its true mr de boar the door is open.

08 Mar 2016 21:18:27
It's not unfortunately.

08 Mar 2016 10:11:48
My bet is that he will go in the same manner as Rodgers following the derby.

08 Mar 2016 08:57:34
Liverpool fan coming in peace here. Would you blue noses have Benitez?

{Ed025's Note - not me dan, too much history with his "small club" comments and his obvious love of the red side mate..

08 Mar 2016 10:30:29
No way he was ok for LittlePool at the time? LOL.

08 Mar 2016 12:10:14
I'd rather have carragher!

08 Mar 2016 12:58:25
I said this a while back and yes for me I would have him as he is a good tactician and knows how to manage games. I understand the small club jibe but in fairness he was the manager of our rivals at the time and that was just banter to get us riled and there fans buzzing. Its just the same as when Moyes said about the peoples club.

08 Mar 2016 07:24:44
Get Pellegrini in, great manager, great bloke, honest interviews.
