nogs Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 All very well those saying nah it's everyone's prerogative. But who would you guys realistically replace Roberto with? Go look in the thread on that very topic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 With Arsenal, Man Utd, Leicester and Liverpool still to play... and a manager who has finished top half once in 6 seasons as a Premiership manager... and a wretched habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory... Shall we call it a tenner? Yeah, sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryj Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Go look in the thread on that very topic... I have and most are pie in the sky, no better or unlikely to come - and others have gone off topic (like I've done now) ?

MikeO Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Josh just showed me a Twitter poll asking... "If losing on Saturday saw Martinez sacked, would people be happy to see us lose? just after an opinion!" 24% (so far, only forty-odd votes in total so not a huge sample admittedly) said yes. Would anyone on here go to that extreme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 People would really go with thier ego rather than see our manager engineer a win over a very good Chelsea team to reach a semi final?

Would anyone on here go to that extreme? I think it is absolutely scandalous that any so called supporter would ever want Everton to lose any game ( except if it meant denying The Shite the Title!) A place in the FA Cup Quarter Finals is never to be sniffed at so why would anyone want us to lose I would go as far as to say a defeat and subsequent sacking could be seen as a silver lining to soften the blow of defeat, but that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 no mike. i want RM gone but he can go in the summer like proper teams do. no need to fire him now, the season is lost but what do we gain by firing him now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want us to lose against City to stop the shite winning the title and I wouldn't pass up a trip to Wembley to get rid of Martinez.

StevO Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 No chance. But if he's sacked sooner rather than later the new manager can make his plans for the summer. Rather than come in and take over a training camp out together by his predecessor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh that, 24% on a small Twitter poll while we have 0% agreeing on a small TT "poll". Which I'm pleased to see but I expected nothing less.

Elston Gunnn Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Some scenarios -- 1. Optimal -- Win the FA Cup and finish 8th in league. Roberto (probably ......) should stay, and will stay. 2. Plausible -- Win Cup and finish 10th. 50/50 whether he should stay, but probably would stay, as he gets Cup and Europe. 3. Unsettling -- win Cup, finish 14-15th. Should be fired, but probably retains job because of Cup and Europe. 4. Abysmal -- get to Cup final, lose, finish 14-15th. Should be fired. 50/50 that he stays/goes. 5. Failure -- lose badly in Cup semifinal, 0-3, another lackluster, wtf effort, finish 14-15th. Fired. I have followed Everton since late 1990s, but because I got to see their matches so infrequently until last 5 seasons, I still don't have a full sense of what it feels like, right now, this season, today, to be a Toffee. But even from afar, it seems clear that for many/most local Everton fans, Roberto has to both win the Cup and finish at least 9th-10th. But absent overwhelming fan dissatisfaction, I suspect the bosses will give him another year, except for scenario #5. Good heavens, would he be retained even then?

Shukes Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I would hint regardless of cup we have to finish top eight. Any lower he should go. Winning the cup can't mask our league form. Top eight would be a low finish but we could grow from there. Any lower is disgusting for our squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesey05 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 We are getting lower and lower in the league. We will be in a proper relegation scrap if he's in charge next year. Rom gone in the summer? That clown Niasse to replace him who he can't even trust to come on when 2-0 down. I'm bored of writing the same shit as I haven't supported Martinez for a lot longer than most on here. I hope our new co-owner can see sense and get rid sooner rather than later.

Hafnia Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I think people would consider losses because it has been very difficult for managers to get sacked at Everton. I was thinking a cup win but I also want a top manager, losing faith in roberto now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Martinez got the job because, at the time, he had a sound reputation in the game. I think he's now under much more scrutiny than at any other time in his career. Upto him really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Martinez get the Everton job 'because' he won the cup ? We 'could' win the champions league, we 'could' do the treble, but we ain't not with Martinez in charge. We play like we did today and West Ham will smash us if they beat Man Utd, and we'll struggle against Man utd and they aren't exactly great at the moment. Trouble is on our day we are a match for anyone in the league, trouble is those days are very far and few between.

I've had a bet with Newty that we'll finish bottom half - top 8, no chance. And nor do we deserve it, we have been as shite as the league position suggests.

HKR toffee Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Nay league position says it all really was willing to give him a chance this season after the shifty league form of last season but this season has passed me off more than any other season I can remember so for me its a big fat NAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the bet is simple...if we finish 11th - 20th, you win. If we finish 10th - 1st, I win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
