I'd be happy with that appointment of it happened, unlike a lot of the top managers he doesn't shoot his mouth off which is rare these days so have a lot of respect for the guy.

Agree2 Disagree2

24 Apr 2016 22:59:31
betvic still have us as 6/ 1 to b his new club, look at the money he has wasted at city, he has made some awful buys, and they should have walked the league this season.

Agree3 Disagree0

25 Apr 2016 10:17:53
To be fair paul I don't think he would have had much say in the transfers. I also think that he's a good man manager, the players know he won't be there next season and he's still managed to get them to fight their way to the CL semis.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2016 21:24:21
Sacking will not happen tonight or morrow.
Posted last night, RM will go before next Saturday.
Duncan to take over on temp basis and I know for a fact whose a good friend of his and is out of contract in the summer and managers a team in the Prem.
Might be wrong but this guy should have been taken on 3 years ago.
The dream ticket!

Well Slaven Bilic is a good friend of Duncan but I can't see why he would leave West Ham or why they would not renew his contract.

{Ed025's Note - i agree mike..

24 Apr 2016 23:03:53
Bilic has a year left I believe.

Anyone seen the video of Jags telling Barkley "theyre not booing you"? Captain doing his job or a sign they're sick of RM's methods?

. don't panic guys. apparently the hierarchy are working on a severance package for the clueless 1 before the big announcement in the morning hence the delay in the confirmation of his sacking!

Soli how do you know this mate?

Agree1 Disagree2

24 Apr 2016 21:22:05
'Watch toffee' says so mate. app. He has asked for confirmation on martinezs departure this afternoon and there was a wall of silence from the Everton board and having been an ex board insider of the club himself knowing how things work within the hierarchy of efc he says this means only 1 thing - they are currently working on all bits and pieces of Bobbys severance package hence the silence just now from the club and when completed an official announcement will be made in the morning! I hope this guys right or else it's going to be my 4th consecutive morning of a terrible hangover!

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2016 21:25:39
How on earth did that comment get a disagree? 😂😂.

Agree1 Disagree1

24 Apr 2016 21:25:41
Realistically the board wouldn't delay an announcement to work out a severance package. They'd just fire him and worry about the details after, if they didn't already know them.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2016 20:42:43
The club has to say something soon. The speculation is so rife that everyone including Martinez and the players must be seeing it. With respect to Martinez the club has to either sack him now or make a statement that no decision will be made on the managerial position until the end of the season. Hopefully it will be the former but this silence is not good for either the club, the supporters or the man himself.

Agree5 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - very well said mike..kudos..

25 Apr 2016 03:11:07
This is just it, why fans are so deluded sometimes.
Why do the club have to come out and say anything.
Martinez is the manager. All that matters is what they have said to Martinez and if that is you are the manager until the end of the season then nothing has changed and everyone gets on with it.
Until they say differently Martinez is in charge why should anyone assume otherwise, because its what some fans want.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2016 18:44:45
Were hearing and reading all sorts ed, is there a possibility of martinez leaving very soon? I've read previously that your bot sure about it but lots of rumours atm, can u see him leaving within the next day or so ed, thanks.

By North-west correspondent Alex Stevens

Eddie Howe has emerged as a contender to replace Roberto Martinez at Everton next season, according to a report.

The Sun claim new Everton owner Farhad Moshiri is interested in hiring the Bournemouth manager.

Pedro well said lad scouser.

24 Apr 2016 19:38:01
Nothing against Howe personally, but I will be furious if we appoint him. After being linked with the likes of Pellegrini and Mourinho (as unlikely as they ever were) , going for someone who has been very average with an average team without establishing any sort of style would be extremely disappointing. It would show absolutely no ambition and do you think the likes of Lukaku or Stones will hang around because of him, or the players we can (supposedly) now afford will be flooding to us? Don't think so. Would be yet another disaster in the comedy that is our club.

Agree1 Disagree1

24 Apr 2016 19:52:34
I tend to agree AB, I've nothing against Eddie Howe, I hope he does well, however, I remember the last time we opted for a promising Manager who had done reasonably well at a smaller club. That was Mike Walker and as we know it didn't end well for us. If Mr Moshiri is as we are led to believe going to make major investment in Everton, then a percentage of that has to be in an established manager.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2016 22:28:13
hat has Howe done, taken a small team from Dicision 2 to the Prem, could be the next Ferguson.

Why bother? There's not much to play for. Might as well let Joe Royle do that. If true, it's probably in the hope that we win a few matches and then Bill can keep his best mate on.

Agree0 Disagree1

So Joel likes an instagram post calling for Roberto to be sacked. That's now Baines, Barry and Joel being critical. Time to go Roberto

If Eddie Howe comes what's the learning from when we took on Martinez? sorry we are bigger than this . Maybe in ten years when Eddie becomes a strong manager. Till then no way .

Hiya Ed,

Seems Roberto Martinez is on his way from peoples suggestions throughout social networks, so I was wondering if there are any people in the frame to take up the mantle next.

I remember someone mentioning Lucien Favre a bit back, but is there anyone else? Cheers.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

{Ed025's Note - nothing as i can see suggests he is going anywhere yet QB, there will be meetings where his future will be discussed but i would not put any money on that being very soon mate..

24 Apr 2016 08:35:51
I reluctantly have to concur Ed.

However my instincts and perhaps perceptions kinda point to 'money talks' a little bit!

I'm certainly not smart enough to make a billion quid etc.
However if I did own that sum, I wouldn't throw it away on a proven PL failure!

Agree4 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - im sure moshiri wont want to lose money 247 and have faith that he will stop the rot and replace bobby, how soon that will be is anyones guess mate..

24 Apr 2016 10:11:08
Well that's a shame Ed. It would typify Everton and Bill Kenwright if we don't get rid of him. I just seen his post match presser saying "The last three years, we haven't been spending any money. "

He always finds an excuse, and that's another thing I can't stand. Should just be front about it. kinell.

And what's worse is we've had a NET Spend of 50 Million Pounds. as in with players we've bought and sold, we've spent 50 million in 2 seasons. He talks such crap.

Agree4 Disagree2

24 Apr 2016 10:55:05
What you forget though is those players he has bought, if they would be sold would effectively mean we would once again be in profit and not spent anything.

24 Apr 2016 12:26:07
I have always said it and got slag, But Bill sold his train set but is still playing with it, he has to go, we had investors in the past but they puled out because of Bills conditions.

Agree5 Disagree0

24 Apr 2016 13:34:24
Reading the FA file on agents fees yesterday, I suppose you can understand Bill's reluctance to let RM go. According to the FA, EFC spent GB471K last year on agents - whereas top spender MU flashed GB10M. So once again, we are bottom. Curiously, am I looking at a connection at something? Are top players really pushed out way at all? Anyways, why would Bill be motivated to change a spendthrift? Net GB50M over a season or two is pocket money in the fat cow that is the EPL.
