Are there any fans on everton rumours page that think Martinez should manage the team next season? I would like to hear why they think he'll turn our perfomances around. I'm asking because I can't see him getting us up into the top 6 next season. But maybe others can see light at the end of this dark tunnel. I agree he has done well in the 2 cups this season but that's it. Our league position is shambolic and it is our bread and butter.

I have been following the blues going on 60 years and if Noddy, RM is still here I will not.

There may be a light at the end of the tunnel, unfortunately it is probably a train coming the other way.

Hi Joe mc. I'm in too minds about Rm. Firstly he has done great in the cups as you said, but I'm not sure about people saying league is bread and butter and more important. Weve been around the top 6 for a decade with Moyes, only 1 cup final, 2 cup semis. We were all desperate to win a trophy, I still am! I would take days out at Wembley, fighting for cups than fighting for 6th and europa football, but we should be challenging top4 and the cups not one or the other. He's building a good team, which is badly underachieving and he has to take the flak. But at the same time, I believe we've only had coleman, jags, stones, and baines on the pitch at the same time once this year. Our home form is awful, as too slow and predictable. But the games we should have won, at home to palace, wba, Stoke, West ham, and away bmouth, Norwich and Chelsea off the top of my head was infuriating. Some of the posts on here about mourinho, pellegrini and wenger replacing him are laughable. I think Koeman, howe or stubbs would be a better choice if we get rid. But either way il be supporting the blue boys with everything I've got! Coyb.
{Ed025's Note - thats a great post rush and the sort of sentiment im sure we all want, unfortunately this is the real world where football is a results business and as much as i like bobby as a person as a manager he sucks, in a perfect world managers like him would be in the top jobs and winning 10-8 would be the norm, but unfortunately for him its a results business and ours have not been up to scratch to say the least...for me he has to go mate..

There is no tunnel.

From the 22nd of November until the 3rd of Feb in the league we won one game, away to Newcastle, the looping header from Cleverly at the end (lucky really) . The games we won before and after that period was home to Villa and home to Newcastle. Since the 1st March we haven't won a league game. That's just simply inexcusable. Think that works out at 4 league wins since the 22nd Nov against Newcastle twice, Villa and Stoke.

I understand where you are coming from in regards to a cup final Rushpalmer. I think we would all surrender a top 6 place for a trophy. Martinez has done an excellent job in the cups this season but we are not performing well at all.
We may have been unlucky not to pick up 3pts in a few games earlier in the season but we've also picked up a few points when we could easily have been beaten. I want Martinez to do well but since he's taken charge we have been on a steady decline in terms of results and performances. I'm worried about if he can turn it around where will we be before that happens, Maybe the Championship.
Ed is right about this being a results business and for 2 seasons now we havn't been getting good results. I believe Martinez will be here next season but I also think if there is not a massive improvement by December then he should be replaced. The club is moving forward on every level except the senior team so maybe a fresh face managing the senior team will bring fresh ideas to the team that will help them perform better.
I keep expecting us to get that 1 result that changes our season but i've been waiting too long now and know its not going to happen. If we win the FA Cup it'll be by grinding out wins in semi and final. We are not going to beat any of the 3 teams left comfortably as we are not performing well enough to beat any EPL.

Interesting post from Rushpalmer pointing out that under Moyes we were always fighting for 6th and yet only a couple of semis and he would take that. presumably as progress? Then he points out that this season we have only had Colemen, Jags, Stones and Baines on the pitch together once this season. That bit made me laugh. all Moyes signings! Enough said.

When I grew up there was nothing more exiting than the FA CUP and then being a cup manager was exeptable as long as you did not get relegated as RM manmaged at Wigan.
Today in these days of money the Prem is everything wheather you like it or not. I would therefore rather be trying to get into the Champions league every season and finishing high in the league over the cup.
You can with the cup with luck you cannot do well in the Prem with luck you need a lot more.
Moyes was a consistant over achiever and martinez is a consistant under achiever and failure.
I cannot be at Wembley on Saturday for the first time since 66 due to health problems and I will turn my back on the tv when Martinez leads us out because he makes me feel ashamed of my club. That said I will watch the game and hope that he is gone by Monday morning.
I want us to win but if we lose will be happy he is almost certainly gone from my club, let's move on from this lousy manager.
