Roberto Martinez Sacked

    Cant say that i'm surprised, he has been truly awful in the last 2 years:
    Roberto Martinez has been sacked as Everton manager, according to reports.

    The Spaniard has come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks, culminating in a 3-0 defeat against Sunderland on Wednesday.

    The loss leaves the Toffees 12th in the Premier League table, and despite leading the club to semi-finals of both domestic cup competitions, Martinez’s league form has cost him.

    Sky Sports, the Liverpool Echo and numerous other outlets are reporting that Everton have sacked the Spaniard after the latest disappointment.

    Everton could finish as low as 16th this season, with Martinez having guided the club to fifth and 11th place finishes in his two full season at Goodison Park.

    The Spaniard took over from David Moyes after the club finished sixth in the 2012/13 Premier League season, but Martinez has overseen a gradual regression during his tenure.

    Martinez said some very silly things during his time at the club.

    Future manager of Barcelona I believe!

    In 2012 this happened

    but we got Rodgers instead! Both ex Swansea, neither could set up a team to defend, but could encourage attacking football with the right players, both got sacked for not winning enough games/having plan B and both talk a good game (incessantly).

    Absolute charlatan, his interviews were mostly bizarre.

    Apart from his first season he actually brought them backwards.

    Return of Moyes?

    I remember the days when Everton fans thought they'd done great in Moyes leaving and Martinez coming in.

    In fairness he was very good for Swansea and for Wigan but he did not seem to be able to get this Everton team to defend.

    Was ridiculously overhyped throughout his spells. A situation like this was inevitable.

    Couldn't get Wigan to defend either, just got lucky they escaped relegation a few years

    Thank god.

    Apparently kenwright wanted to keep him on but the new owners froze him out of talks and the recruitment process for a new manager.

    A bit of ambition from Everton at last.






    (Wait for Martin O'Neill to get the job :( )

    I thought Moyes did fantastic at us but had taken us as far as he could and we were all hopeful that a new manager with fresh ideas could bring us to the next level. Didn't happen but you can't blame us for hoping.

    Toon/Villa need Championship/Promotion specialists - it's a different ballgame down there. Not sure Moyes is the answer for either of them. Everton could do worse than poach Koeman from Southampton.

    A fate Paul Jewell and Steve Bruce managed to avoid, Bruce quite comfortably.

    Moyes returning isn't a far fetched idea. He left when the United job came up, only for that he'd most likely still be there. He is as good a punt as anyone, although I'd say a possible move to Celtic may appeal more to him.

    Glazers Out!

    He had turned Everton into a slightly better version of Wigan

    I cant see Koeman taking a sideways step and joining Everton, although on one hand it could be argued it would be a backwards step.

    Southampton can still finish 6th if they win and West Ham fail to do so on Sunday.

    Having spent millions in the process. With the squad they have, Everton should be pushing for CL at a stretch but definitely in the mix for EL every season. Bullshitter par excellence - born to be a pundit on the BBC panel.

    He is in a bad moment right now....

    Took him under 2 years to dismantle what Moyes had built, 3 years to have them starting to take a turn toward relegation fears.
