The New Everton Manager

[Block109'er]

I am alone in thinking Martinez is OK and may do quite well with the Bitters ?

Given the limited short-list we seemed to have had a year ago I would have picked him ahead of Rodgers .

 

To be honest I would have been just as underwhelmed with Martinez as I was with Rodgers.

 

Everton have absolutely hit their glass ceiling at the moment, it would be impossible for them to do any better than they have in the last two seasons with their resources.

I wasn't that arsed about Martinez either . AVB would have been my choice at the time.

 

Not sure about Everton next season . He will take a couple with him to Woodison but Fellaini looks like he's off.

[Stickman]

Has Martinez been named as manager yet or is there going to be a failed medical in the air?

[Unrighteous]

Everton's defending next season should be fucking comical.

[jamespp]

I think he's all wrong for them, their fan base wants hard working teams who get results 1-0 or 2-1, this 'good football' will blow their brain especially if they are losing more often than under Moyes, he could go by christmas

[Harry Squatter]

Everton haven't played good football since 1985, it will be too much of a shock for them and they won't be able to handle it. They've been brought up on a diet of dogs of war, utter shite under Walter Smith and then Moyes' eleven years of eye aids.

 

They will be like Charlton Heston at the end of Planet of the Apes.

[Furmedge]

Cries of "for fucks sake Everton, get the ball in the air!" will be heard by the end of August.

[xerxes]

A good appointment for them. Moyes though was probably as good as it gets. They will just get a better class of mediocrity.

[kalasoma]

It's official. The Toffees are going to win the FA Cup and get relegated in the same season.

 

All joking aside. Who saw that coming, eh?

BBC Sport - Roberto Martinez: Everton appoint former Wigan manager

[LFC64]

Baaarcelona lite !

[TalkSilly]

BGB claims Martinez promised to get them into the Champions League in the first 45 seconds of his interview.

 

I nearly crashed the car...

He must have said The Championship League and they misheard him.

[Anubis]

Oh Bill, when will you learn...

 

 

Kenwright said: "When [former manager] David [Moyes] first came to see me, we were in a bad state. His first words, were, 'we are not going down'."

 

"Roberto's first words were, 'I will get you into the Champions League'."

[aws]

I refuse to laugh about the appointment of Martinez until I'm sure Rodgers is better than him. For me the jury is still out on both of them.

The Bitters won't like that at all. The Champions League is Kopite behavior.

I agree but we can laugh at the many Evertonians who took the piss out of 'tiki taka'. Suddenly it's the future.

A fair point in full.

[Ted]

Fucking hell. Some fella on CityTalk just phoned up saying the Messiah has now arrived.

 

Fuck. Ing. Hell.

Fuck. Ing. Hell.

 

That's the last time I go for chips at The Blue Dragon next to Goodison.

[Chocoholic]

In that case, it must have been the shortest job interview in history.

 

The comedy just keeps on coming.

 

Martinez: 'I will get you into the Champions League'.

Bill: 'The job's yours, Roberto. Did I tell you I love your cheeky boyish smile?' *wink*

Martinez: 'But I must remind you Mr Kenwright...'

Bill: 'Oh stop that nonsense, we're friends now, please call me Bill'

Martinez: 'Mr. Ken.. excuse me, err... Bill, I must remind you that I guided Wigan not only to relegation, but in the course of that, to 7 defeats on the bounce'

Bill: 'Oh, my, I DO love a good bounce' *wink*

Martinez: 'Of course we will be getting into the Champion's League, but what will happen if the same happens here? Won't the fans get annoyed and cal for my sacking?'

Bill: 'Oh, don't you worry, Roberto, we developed a strategy for that some time ago'

Martinez: 'What is that, Bill?'

Bill: 'Any time we hit a rough patch, I like to sing that FABULOUS Simon & Garfunkel song, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, brings tears to my eyes - anyway, where were we? Oh yes, any time there's a rough run of results, you just remind our fans that we're not like that lot over there, with loads of money and everything, we're for the people' They lap it up every single time and what do you know - the results are yesterday's news' *wink* Isn't that just amazing?

Martinez: 'Si, Bill'

Bill: 'Oh, you cheeky little monkey, charming me with your Spanish as WELL as your boyish good looks' *wink* Now, come over here really close to Bill while I whisper another little secret in your ear...'

"Roberto's first words were, 'I will get you into the Champions League'."

 

Bill must of misheard him, he thought Martinez said Champions League, he actually said Championship League.

[firemarshall]

Just been watching Kenwright on Granada reports. Hahaha, he makes me laugh him. What a fucking whopper.

[Strontium]

 

 

BGB: Remember, if anyone asks, your name is Bob Martin and you were born on Vauxhall Road

"Mr Kenwright, are you trying to seduce me?"

[kalasoma]

Fellaini's definitely off then. He'll be replaced by Maloney and thus Wigan becomes Everton's feeder club.
