Honestly can't see why so many people are opposed to Martinez. I understand he got relegated with Wigan, but that's largely down to their defence. Any team with Figueroa, Caldwell and Alcatraz are going to struggle. What I will say is that if, (and remember that it's an if) he comes to us, he's going to have Stubbs and Weir in his ear on how to organise a defence and he will be using players like jags and baines and distin. These players are much better than the defence he had at Wigan and he's used to working in such a s**** budget too. I honestly think he can do a good job at Everton, get us playing a bit better football more attacking. It's worth a try since the 4-5-1 hasn't managed to push us further than 5th/6th. That being said I'm also I reigned about this Vitor Pereirra since he's European and has the pedigree f winning a league, albeit with a largely inherited side. Stop all the doom and gloom boys and be excited. These times yet are a changing.

good post but do we appoint a manager for attack and others to sort defence? Lad he not good enough!

Martinez is not bad at defence his cack Wigan defence are and they had half of them missing this season we would struggle if Jags, Distin and Coleman were all out for long periods of time.

Martinez bought that defence. He coached that team. The buck stops with him.

And he has spent more money in the past few years than we have!
