I just read Martinez's press conference. He say's the board are right to judge him, yes Roberto, every Manager is judged. I can't believe he said he should be judged on how we perform against the big teams? seriously.

My belief is that in his first season he walked into Goodison and promised the players that he would change the style and play attacking football. The players and the fans were on side and all was well.
But then when the results start going against us you realise that this is not the way, there has to be a balance.

It's like eating vanilla ice cream for 11 years (Moyes) then someone comes along and gives you chocolate mint chip. (Martinez) MMMM this is nicer and so much better, but then after a year or so of that you realise that maybe the chocolate mint chip is not quite as good as it seemed at first and so you lose faith in that.

His first season was never him being a good Manager, it was the change that the players embraced and nothing else. We were all sucked in by the change and it hasn't worked.
I'm dreading the board deciding to keep him.

For most fans, it's not so much "ice cream" as "I scream" with Roberto Marinez!

Martinez also said he shouldn't be judged over the last 3 months but the last 3 years! That being the case the results are still the same we are going backwards!

Yes heard this and believe he tripped himself up and made himself look stupid, but he does that quite often now.

Martinez is selective about his record in the PL full stop.

He never recounts the WAFC relgation, however he is always available for comments on his WAFC FA cup win!
