Martinez really? He jumped ship after guiding Wigan out of top flight football, ok he has had to sell any player worth a few mill or more but this choice ( if its true ) is not good enough, I think he will do well with moyes's side but the transition to his side scares me! Can he spot them like moyes? because we ain't got much more money then Wigan

Do you honestly think many managers could have done a better job at Wigan without resorting to the tactics of Tony Pulis?

Money is on Lennon! Hanging an announcement out this long, bit of co. waiting for him to arrive back from Ireland maybe?

Whelan has shouted his mouth off early as Everton are still negotiating with Wigan for two of their back room staff. Everton can't announce the deal for RM until these men are signed aswell. Whelan trying to force Bill's hand into an instant compo agreement for the backroom staff aswell. Bill is having none of it hence the latest announcement and will play the long game to get the best price for the backroom staff aswell. This is my theory anyway.

an eye for spotting a player still lies with the scouts not the manager. if we keep the same scouting system, why would we be in trouble with the transition period between moyes' squad and the squad martinez will build? I would be much more concerned if he deploys the tactics of 3-5-2 to efc, when our tried system of 4 at the back has been so solid and effective for years gone by, especially now we have a 2nd outlet from fullback with seamus coleman to compliment the ever effective leighton baines.

Depsite some views, it is so apparent that everyone posting here does not want RM. shame we can't get Bill to check this site out

Plenty of managers could have done a better job. tony pulis style kept stoke in the league and martinez style definately wouldn't keep stoke up.
People need to get off the stoke are crap bandwagon. You think stoke would win a match if they tryed to play like barca?
I don't care how everton play, I just want them to win as many matches as they can. Frankly the so called 'good' possesion football the likes of liverpool play is so boring.

Whelan now saying we can buy their players if we want and the price is right?!! Honestly I don't want anything to do with their players or their manager either! What so we take this bloke now we are going supplement Wigan coming back up by buying all their rubbish?? this is turning into a farce

Dave Whelan did exactly the same thing last year when Liverpool were courting Martinez. The man is a t!t.

If martinez does arrive very likely to bring mcmanaman and mcarthy with him in both for 4 million each.
