Me saying that Martinez has to do more for the stability and future of your club. Lukaku is a very good grab but he'll be gone in the summer with no transfer fee. A replacement of equal quality with pl experience will cost you 30m which you don't have. Martinez hasn't strengthened Everton long term, he provided something to get through the season and thats it.

Jesus dude.
Did Wenger win his first league title by exploiting Bruce Rioch? Like, what the hell does that even mean?
They finished on 63 points last season. They have a solid chance of finishing on 76 this season. 13 points is a pretty good improvement.
With a shoestring budget he has done well with those loans. Who is to say he won't bring in some good loaned players this summer.
It's his first season and you are expecting him to be building for the future. You don't think that is a crazy expectation?
yeah, I am firmly in the #wengerout camp now. I don't know who we target but I don't think it has to be as difficult as we're making it out to be. the next manager doesn't also have to be here for the next 10 years—the youth project is basically dead anyways. they just need to be able to step in and get results.
I think Martinez would be an interesting candidate. I have no idea if he'd turn out to be the right man for the job or not; I'm pretty skeptical of this season, and his time at Wigan doesn't impress either, but he seems to be doing well with what he has. He's open minded and pragmatic and seems to be competent at his job. For the next two or three years? I could look at him and be relatively confident that it won't be a horrific train wreck. and I can't really ask for much more than that.
I might even go a step further and say he'd likely do a better job than Wenger would in those two years.
We're not competing for trophies. The last good team we beat in a European tie was Milan, which is, what, seven years ago now? So it's not like we're a European powerhouse. All a new manager would have to do is qualify for fourth. I don't think it's that hard of a job to step into. Even if everything goes horribly wrong and we do miss fourth place, we won't really have a Liverpool-esque time in PL wilderness if only because we don't have a whole lot to lose. We don't need a proven great manager. (which is good, because we're not getting one) A good one will do. And if they develop into a great one, all the better.

What do you guys think if Carlos Queiroz replaced Moyes?
I don't think it will happen, but he's one of my top pick if it's possible.

Sensational
I'd definitely have him back as ass man but dunno about the biggun

Put the bottle down, Fergie.
Just read that Ian Ladyman article and it's really fucking bizarre. Moyes told two midfielders that they could leave in January even though we barely have any cm's. One of those midfielders is a proper senior player too. Must be either Carrick or Fletcher.
He fell out with Ferdinand because he was naive enough to rip into him in a conversation with another PL manager whilst Ferdinand was in earshot and could hear everything.

so like a guy high with a glue...
Yes, There was some inheritance going on (duh), yes, we are going to have a challenge to find a striker, but come the fuck on!!!
We already gain the most points in a season sin more than 20 years, posted our first profit in 7 years, established nice footballing style while increasing the depth of our squad. 1 point to the 4th place with 3 games to come, already beaten more top teams than any of the Moyes' seasons and have frightened a lot of those top teams with top performances.
If you can't see any of that, then we have a term for the likes of you: a person with a cognitive dissonance syndrome.

You shouldn't believe it. He was actually reading Paul McKenna's Instant Confidence and listening to the accompanying CD with RvP's Beats.
christ almighty Moyes.
Woody has a Masters in Business Doe!
I want Van Gaal.
I've watched too many videos.
I've saved many gifs.
I want him to show Rooney his balls.
He looks like Wilbur.
Woodward don't fail us!
I stopped there and read it a good few times before moving on. :lol
Even Shinji blatantly disrespected him.
Cleff pls

What is Fergie's current role at United?
It's all about Reus, love.
Isco cannot live in the shadow of the BBC. His light is too bright for him to be a shadow.

Do not want. He'd be a fine coach, but I don't believe in him as a manager.

That one?
edit: oh yeah, banned.
Whoa.. he's done well for Everton's level but I'm talking about whether or not he could take Arsenal to the next step which is a lot harder to do than anything he done this season. There are certain aspects to what he's done that make me think it wouldn't work out. I'm not saying he's been crap for you guys or not been successful.
Wenger has delivered 3rd or 4th consistently, qualifies for next stage of the CL and gets slaughtered for it. Replacing him with a manager who could only achieve something similar is pointless. Lets see how Martinez handles Europe next season for example, see if he can balance all 4 competitions like Arsenal fans would expect, etc... that's what I mean.
Hopefully Martinez proves me wrong but next season we'll find out.

I've already accepted that we are getting Van Gaal, and I'm looking forward to him tearing Rooney a new arsehole.
He was on his best behavior despite being dishonored for two seasons.
A smirk is not injustica.
You just said he hadn't done anything and hadn't improved Everton(despite the table saying the contrary) when I called you on it you said it was only because he exploited Moyes.
Not like Miyaichi.
He should commit Seppuku
I said he hasn't done enough to show he can make the step up and had to do more.
He gets too many commercial opportunities for that to even cross his lovely mind.
oh Pls
Anyway, I don't know what the hell you are talking about. Lets degrade him as whole since he only done fantastically well on a budget in his first season he have been a manager for a club that have been a dinosaur, acted one dimensional tactically under an ancient manager whom brain washed his player ( you might call well oiled btw) into play an astute system. Yeah, because we obviously gonna speak hypothetical and see him as his only success at such club.
We all are very curios about his next season at the club, yes, there have been a plenty of Managers who had one fantastic season and next fell of the cliff. But let us not undermine his management this season just because he haven't proved you anything
Because he doesn't need to prove a shit thing since you ain't getting him. Personally I'll be happy with 4 - 6 position next season so piss off. Why are we even comparing bloody Arsenal to Everton?
That was never the argument.
You said he hadn't improved the team. They have a chance of finishing 13 points better off than last season. Almost every Everton player is having their best season.
Nobody said he is ready for the step up. I said in 2 years we would have to see.
Its his fucking first year. What the the hell are you expecting him to do? Win the League?
Yeah, even I said he would fail at Arsenal. I don't what is Lightning smoking?
Lightning pls, you are better than Willbur level of arguments
