Just to get off the manager topic. Anyone see Mirallas's goal v USA yesterday? It was lovely!

TC

Yes I did very good finish and a nice header from Fellaini as well!

Tim was not best pleased haha

If everton are in for a shout on a new striker, I reckon anichebe and benteke up front supported by fellaini, piennar, Ozzie and gibbo, Coleman, jags, distin. maybe even give Oviedo a stab would be a good push fwd, as 1st 11 with minimal cash required. anyone reckon the Belgium link could be sufficient to drag benteke to us? Jlaff

Sorry forgot Blaine's so Oviedo can't play!

Yes 2 very nice goals, be even better if we got lukaku on loan look great them 3

Yeah, lovely goal. Another reason for me to think he should be upfront.

Absolute beauty, hope mirallas bangs them in all next season

The most gifted player we have had since Kanchelskis! We should build our team around him. 15-20m would be enough to get Benteke however I think there would be a huge number of potential suitors

martinez set for 2nd interview tomorrow
source The Guardian


Roberto Martínez is set for a second round of talks with Bill Kenwright on Friday as the Everton chairman closes in on appointing a successor to David Moyes.

Kenwright claimed there was no clear favourite for the Everton job before meeting the Wigan Athletic manager on Wednesday and has met other candidates in recent days. Porto's title-winning coach, Vitor Pereira, was among them and remains in contention, though Martínez will be the first to be interviewed twice by the Everton chairman.

The Wigan manager was not offered the job of replacing Moyes during Wednesday's initial meeting but could be installed by early next week provided the latest negotiations go well. Unlike the past two summers, when he was approached by Aston Villa and Liverpool, the 39-year-old informed the Wigan chairman, Dave Whelan, that he wished to leave the DW Stadium prior to holding talks with the Goodison Park club. Everton are also the only club given permission to approach Martínez so far.

Interesting idea doing the rounds on social media. Rangnick as a Director of Football with Pereira as manager. VP is said to prefer this type of arrangement. The cost would be greater but could work out well.

You suggestion rangnick coud join Everton with pereira has manager right?

Decent shout that mate

I'm not suggesting it. It has been mentioned on social media as a possibility and I think it could be a very good idea, myself.
It kind of makes sense as Rangnick is in a similar position at his current club, and is a structure Pereira seems more comfortable/familiar with.

Whereas Roberto Martinez would want overall control like David Moyes enjoyed.

This is amazing and just keeps on throwing up amazing twists! Rangnick! Who saw that coming!, this is definitely Moyes suggestion I would say given his time spent over in Germany, this is one he has must have recommended to BK. Go on BK you can do it, pull off the most amazing appointment of recent years, the Everton way. nothing but the best.

The original poster said it himself, 'the cost would be greater' so this is a non starter. Bill is struggling to get one person in through the door let alone complicating matters by suggesting getting 2 in, that may not see eye to eye and therefore have 2 lots of compensation to pay out if either/both are sacked.

We just haven't got the finances available for that kind of venture

30 May 2013 22:52:02
Kenwright has finished his interviewing now. It between ereira Martinez. And the German guy according to tv he was impressed with the German guy

I think he has a tough call Bill but I trust him to make the right choice coyb.

30 May 2013 22:39:46
I think laudrup will be a big surprise pereira Martinez laudrup or the German guy be between them 4 I think

Hope so

30 May 2013 22:27:09
Do you think felli will stay Ed this
Will make a serious change to transfers
IMO it could be a good thing it means
We will only have to budget for a top
Cf {Ed025's Note - i think there is a good chance mate..

30 May 2013 22:13:25
VP. VP. VP. Please bill

30 May 2013 22:07:30
Rangnick, Periera and Martinez are the 3. Thoughts?.

As the meat loaf song goes two out of three ain't bad and I bet you know the 2.

You took the words right out of my mouth {Ed025's Note - love it mate..

Vp just won league.
rangnick took schalke to cl semis on a small budget.
martinez won fa cup but relegated.

mmmmmm decisions decisions
whoever takes over will have a great squad and with a change of management and a few good young additions
(striker and central def) who knows

Vp won a league that is similar to the scottish prem

30 May 2013 22:04:03
Ralf Rangnick now enters the EFC managerial grand national field, I love it. (Wavertree Blue)

30 May 2013 21:33:33
Martinez is signed and sealed news just broke on tv! Svennys gone quite!

Will

Ed is this true {Ed025's Note - no..

Explain the point in this statement? The only thing on tv is the news about Ralf Rangnick. Personally don't know much about him but he seems to get decent results before being fired for periods of poor form. We all know moyes did something similar when he took over with our league position before it all steadied. Maybe if given time he could prove to be a really quality manager. And of all the european leagues seems to me like the bundesliga is possibly closest to pl, so although he may struggle at first it doesn't seem as big a jump as say a manager from spain coming in. Also the quality of the german football is ridiculous atm, and maybe someone who has been managing there will do well. Although I don't like that exhaustion syndrome thing (reason he left schalke after like 5 months).

What planet are you watching TV on?

Think you've got a dodgy tv mate, I'd take it back if I were you.

30 May 2013 21:32:25
Now tv stating that Ralf Rangnick has been interviewed by Bill, could be anyone at this rate it is thought that BK has finished his interviews now and has a big decision to make.

30 May 2013 21:20:15
Another twist ed. ralf rangyick has met kenwright for talks. its on news now. take a look mate.

30 May 2013 21:00:31
Strong rumours now that Bilic is on Kenwright's list. A Russian journalist Artur Petrosyan has gone as far to say that Bilic has in fact been offered the job. Not sure I'd want him after he s*** on us as a player do you think this is a goer Ed or do you still reckon its just between RM and VP? {Ed025's Note - for me its between RM and VP joe..

I wouldn't exactly say he s**t on us, he probably had the worst injury tally known to top flight football. If anything I'd say he owes us one. Watch this space

30 May 2013 19:48:04
Blimey Billic on Bills short list, this is getting interesting, GuernseyBlue

30 May 2013 19:31:16
Hopefully sometime tomorrow we will know who our next manager is. Hurry up bill!

As long as its not rm!

Bill will make you wait till 23. 59 on Sunday night. Come on Pereira!!

Im not sure I want to know! Haha
I really hope its not martinez:-/

30 May 2013 18:50:03
There's an article about selling jelavic for 8m on news now says he's 50:50 to stay
I'd take 8m give us a chance to buy an upgrade (benteke was 7m)

Give him next season then let's judge him

Jelavic ain't worth 8 million. Ill swap you for my Commodore 64

30 May 2013 17:33:40
It will break my hart to see rm in charge of r wonderful club please no

"Break your heart". Come on get real! I have every confidence that Martinez would build on what Moyes has started

Nice guy, but a top manager?

I agree

It wouldn't break my heart

Give the guy a chance if he gets the position.

No he wouldnt, his ego would dictate he takes it in is tried and tested direction

Hope your right but just can not see it. Dark days to come!

Totally agree rm is not exactly the best choice for taking efc to the next level. what we. need is a manager with a winning mentality!hes won less than 40 games with his last club and got them relegated. i'm glad dm has gone and taken his negative football with him, but dm and efc knew months ago, he didn't sign a 6 yr deal at utd in 3 days! and I can't belive the club thought we were that stupid. now we are almost set to get a man with no big club experience and pay wigan compensation for the privillige. bill kenwright continues to let us down again

I agree. no way is martinez good enough for efc. briski.

We all will give him chance and get behind him if he gets the job just hope he doesn't VP all day over him

Blue Princess, you need to be realistic with your expectation levels. No manager can take us to the next level, as for people saying they are glad Moyes has gone is just crazy.

We need a 100 million to compete with the big boys and as the old saying goes. be careful what you wish for, you might just get it!!

Negative football really? Some everton fans really need to give themselves a time out ya know! Negative really I thought we played quite free flowing attackin football this year what was u expectin us to do to roll over every team in league not going to happen, we work on a small budget and I for one am proud to be a blue more than ever this year, dominated arsenal at home and it first half away, ran over united at home, dominated chelsea at home and matched them away unlucky in both, dominated man city at home and got a draw away dominated tottenham home and away what more could u want on our budget,

30 May 2013 16:45:35
It's between Martinez and Lennon fact.

''Fact''

Another mug has is tuppence worth

Yawn

30 May 2013 17:36:05
well if you say it's 'fact' then it must be true (sarcasm)

Yes it is definately between Martinez and Lennon. oh and stubbs irvine vp di matteo pulis and evryone else in the world fact this is no bulsh*t someone will definately get the job fact

No it is not, not keen on rm, but lennon manages a pub team.

30 May 2013 16:32:31
everton to approach surprise candidate marcelo bielsa from bilbao after them selling there star players like martinez to bayern last season and llorente to juventus this season

This guy is a nutter hahah. His formations are crazy. Would be decent to watch to an extent.

Hes already proven against prem clubs in the europa like united beating them 3-1 at old trafford

30 May 2013 16:23:13
Ed do you know if there is still interest in Keisuke Honda or is the manager talk complicating matters? {Ed025's Note - there is still interest mate i believe..

There might be interest from the club but it will all be down to whether the new manager is interested or not

30 May 2013 14:41:10
I think pereira will be the new manager stef the blue

What makes you think this steff

30 May 2013 14:17:37
Martinez stated yesterday that we would know his new club by "maybe Monday. " I would say its highly probable that Roberto Martinez has agreed a deal and is the next Manager of Everton. All that remains is for BK to agree a figure of compensation with DW which should be done by the weekend. Then Roberto Martinez will be unveiled as the new Everton Manager by "maybe Monday".

Martinez is a major risk

I huge risk

So is vp with no prem exp

Everyone is a risk, Moyes to United is a huge risk, no one guaranteed success. I would say winning the FA Cup with Wigan however is a better achievement than winning a gimme league and cup in Portugal with Jose / AVB's team. Wigan won 3-0 at Goodison in the Semi's with a fantastic display and i'm sure that will have impressed a lot of important people. Whoever gets the job you can be sure BK will say he considered and interviewed everybody and *insert name here* was head and shoulders above the rest and defo the right guy.

D'oh, it wasnt the semi's but you know what I mean.

Now Martinez is dicatating and telling the press when HE will know HIS next club, how about it keeps his trap shut until a formal announcement is made, he can't help but comment all the time can he. doesn't bode well at all if he is appointed. I for one think he will be gone before the season is out with us fourth or third from bottom. It will be like the Ramos era at Spurs {Ed025's Note - grow a set mate..

30 May 2013 13:40:29
I've heard that Rene Girard is a contender to replace Moyes. However Newcastle are contemplating replacing Pardew with him.

Martinez is far from a done deal.

Dan.

No more manager merry go round. Is he French

He's actually my choice, not been mentioned at all really so I don't hold out much hope. His achievements with Montpellier, and his experience of working with the France youth set-up, make him the perfect fit in my opinion

Ed- Are you aware of how much Atsu will cost in the window? Only reason I ask is because he has reiterated his desire to play in the premier league, he also is refusing to sign a contract with Porto as they are trying to increase his release clause to 24 million. They haven't even been playing him all that much towards the end of the season. I think I saw 4 million would be his price somewhere. Any info?

JW 1878 {Ed025's Note - his price is estimated at £5.3m JW..

Cheers Ed - not to pricey, if infact he does show value of a 24 mill release clause. wouldn't mind a winger in the window. Gives chance to push Kevin up top, where he could be very very dangerous. Although i'm not sure whether this Atsu bloke would be the best fit.

30 May 2013 12:03:53
Radio says rm having further talks 2day looks like its going 2 be him. Gutted

Why are you gutted?! He's the best realistic candidate for the job! {Ed025's Note - i think you are right..

Cause he is one of those who wants VP, even though he truly knows nothing about him, other than the write up on wiki of course.

Cant wait (if we get him) for Martinez to prove all his critics wrong.

JW1878

I 100% agree I think we can expect good things from him tbh. finally got a SUPPORTER for him

I am gutted because I have backed every manager but Martinez. Do like him though and think am excited if it is him. Money wise though I wish its Bilic. odds are dropping.

Always liked Roberto Martinez and thinks he's a great manager. He's the one to make Nikica Jelavic score goals again

I posted many times about VP he is a winner and he has mean streak about him when it comes to getting the best out of players he is committed to bringing through youth players aswell he is young and gifted he is perfect for us. but if Martinez gets I will support him but please stop saying we know nothing about VP 67 per cent win rate. Stef the blue

There is only one stat I need to look at, that's win percentage! The fact he plays good football has become somewhat a consolation prize for managers. DM and Everton never received any praise for playing the right football, yet week in week out we displayed some of the best football in the league. its a consolation statement, DM got us playing better football Martinez got Wigan playing. if you don't agree, go watch some replays!

Gutted because he is not a man who can take us forward. Only backwards

Win percentage records don't mean a whole lot tbh. It's about winning key games

Nobody can take as forward without big money being invested, so your reason for not wanting him are not valid.

Stef the blue - If you read what I mentioned, I did say most people have looked at his write up on the web (wiki). If you profess to have known about him before we were linked then hit me with some stats we don't already know. Anybody can read up on his stats and become knowledgeable.

Yeah he has lost 1 game in 2 seasons in the league, 67 % win rate, conceded 14 goals this season etc etc - he is in the Portuguese league, comprised of 2 main clubs - anybody could run Porto and look half decent. Look at Lennon at Celtic - exactly the same.

Come on vp or rm? Vp all day for me. Blue walk.

I think to be honest guys Kenwright has done us well so far he has got us out of a lot of trouble and is trying to find new investment with the right people. So if Kenwright chooses Martinez or whoever he chooses we need to support them not slag them off. Make them feel at home at goodison like every Everton player/ fan etc feels when they are there.

30 May 2013 10:53:17
reports are saying that Martinez won't make his decision until monday. so BK might of already offered him the job but we won't know til monday.

30 May 2013 10:09:40
I think victor pereira will be te new manager the new manager will be named tomorrow tonight we hear his name more who getting the job

30 May 2013 08:03:02
Liverpool echo reporting don't rule out pereira from the Everton job. Looks like its still possible for him to be our new manager personally. I think kenwright waiting for him to make up his mind

30 May 2013 09:59:01
Hope so because I threw a tenner on him at 25/1 when Martinez quit Wigan

Show me the money

Degsy

Please be true. defo no martinez. can't understand why him. briski.

30 May 2013 04:20:20
If Pereira sticks with Porto and Martinez goes to Malaga. Who do we get?
Laudrup won't come here, Klinsmann highly unlikely.
Who's left? Lennon? Mackay? Zola? Poyet? Solskjaer?
Surely not Stubbs, Weir etc.
Answers on a postcard please.

It'sgoing to be Stubbsy
Ste.

A big step back if its stubby

It looks like Martinez wants the Everton job so the only way he will go to Malaga is if we don't give him the job or if we take too long to decide. I might be wrong but I think Malaga have major financial problems.

Maybe Di Matteo. Still possible

Pecko

Di Matteo, out of a job, did well with Chelsea

Have some positivity mate, we are 6 in the best league in the world. and the 4th most decorated club in history in England. Plus we have a top quality and balanced squad to work with. Who of those wouldn't want to come to us, the decision will be up to us, not them. Don't get so negative, times are looking up, we should welcome the new era, we have been on the news more than we have in the past 11 years if you can take anything out of it, which can only be good in attracting players as it creates interest. Head up lad {Ed025's Note - great post mate..

As poster above said, there not going to come for talks unless they want the job, it won't be BK saying let me know if you want the job! it will be BK saying il let you know xxxday!

4th most decorated club and still no1 hoping to buy us. crawley town will get a new billionaire owner before we do. Paul Merson constantly says on soccer saturday he doesn't know why we haven't been bought. But he thinks its because a new owner needs to fork out for a new stadium and that's putting them off.

30 May 2013 00:44:02
BBC reporter Ian Dennis claims he spoke to Martinez at wembley this evening and that Martinez has said news about his appointment to Everton will "maybe" be announced on Monday.

No chance would martinez say anything to a reporter before the deal is announced by the club! total BS

This is dragging on to Long now first it was the weekend now Monday Come Monday it be Tuesday and so on

Just reporting what an official tv Sport reporter has said. Also mentioned on the tv sport website. See it for yourself

I couldn't care less if it was on a website, the media do lie you know {Ed025's Note - dont they just..

To be fair that was on Radio Merseyside. Martinez said I don't have any more information but you will know more on Monday. That doesn't mean it will be him just the club will make an announcement!

Well it was on the tv from one of their most senior journalists. Take it or leave it. It's a rumour site after all
