It would be nice if you got Pellegrini or Howe. Though Bournemouth will fume! Thanks for not being angry and kneejerky btw. I still feel a bit guilty about Koeman. We're not the only club to have poached a manager, right?

Sign of the times, sadly. We can't afford to be sentimental now. Martinez got what Everton was about and would have happily stayed here for ages, but he was crap. What's better, a short-term manager who probably doesn't give two shits about Everton but has experience and a good track record, or a manager who says all the right things and is very keen and gets the history of the club, but lands us in the bottom half and makes us into a joke? There's not much loyalty in football these days. The Steve Gerrards, the Matt Le Tissiers, the Duncan Fergusons, the Kevin Pressmans...they are a dying breed.

I, for one, welcome our new Dutch overlord. Seriously, I'm glad it's finally been done.

Don't even go there!

He also once dressed up as a woman, along with his brother. He's definitely prepared to take the piss out of himself. Also, chips and mayonnaise.

Koeman also comes across as quite a no-nonsense sort of bloke, and that's just what we need after Martinez's bullshit.

And yet the Independent says his agent says nothing's been agreed. I wish they'd get it over with already, the waiting is driving me nuts. I'm hearing so many different things about Koeman at the moment.

And the fat blonde Dutch bird has got a sailor boyfriend down south, while the mad Portuguese bunny boiler has run off with some Manc bastard. I don't want Moyes back and I don't know why he wants to come back to us tbh.

Are you even surprised? I've seen people on there responding to players' tweets with 'can you tell Kenwright to sack Martinez please?' Like they'd really do that. "Oh hay thar Bill / Farhad, some guy on Twitter told me to tell you to get rid of our manager." Robles barely speaks English, ffs (which makes me wonder how he manages to control his defenders, though he is getting better).

Favre's got a job now and Koeman's out, isn't he? So that's Pellegrini, de Boer and Emery.

This. If you want to win things, you have to work for it. Leicester didn't win the league by only putting the effort in when they felt like it, and moaning about each other.

How quickly he forgets that Martinez is the reason he came to Everton in the first place. I know Bob screwed up royally at the end of last season, I can understand someone like Mirallas or Baines or even Jags saying it, but Martinez brought Rom here and it comes across as rather backstabby. I have to laugh at him acting like he's bigger than the club when he missed a penalty in the semi final. Get the fuck over yourself, Rom.

I'd be happy with Pellegrini. Experienced manager, good trophy record, one of the less batshit insane managers out there.

Guardian says Mourinho's after him now for Man United.

And Baines.
