Have we signed someone...or are you in the wrong thread?
I am a fan of martinez but I really can't see any way that he will leave everton after one year to join us. Your'e right about one thing definately, we can't perform any worse next season
Martinez would be a fool to come here now.
He should stay, and build on this season.

No I'm just really happy today, completely unrelated to anything else!
He isnt stupid, so why give yup a secure job where he can do no wrong for a job with unreal pressure and expectations?
He turned down Liverpool for just that reason, I dont see him coming to us.
id like Benitez as our next manager, Proven winner and a good manager also he hates the chavs
He would warrant a buy out. For that reason, I,m not sure if he is on DL's list? Although like you I hope he is. For me Martinez or more realistically Pochettino. Either of these over De Boer. I want a manager with EPL experience, and a character, who's ego will not contribute to the choppy waters we have found ourselves in, this past 9 months. Pochettino is that man for me!
COYS!!
Benitez has backing at Napoli, and is in the Champion's League next year – hard to see him opting for Europa instead.
Martinez has only been at Everton a year, and while it's plainly ridiculous for me to cast judgement on his character from what I see in the press, he does seem a loyal type, not one to fuck off at the first sign of a better deal. That said, if Lukaku goes, if Delafeu goes, his chairman won't pay up for Barry or to replace the above, then he may be tempted. Without his loan signings he'd have struggled to perform this season as well as he has.
Frank de Boer seems to have annoyed Levy. He also has no Prem experience, and has hardly shone in Europe (you'd think a club that wins the title 4 years in a row would have managed to get at least one CL final / Europa Cup – or is the Dutch league really that inconsequential?). I get that 4 titles in a row shows consistency, but there's a big comparison to AVB there, at least potentially.
Pochettino seems the most likely. Especially if the club sell his two best players which looks likely. I was sceptical of his win-rate, but Lister made some good points here: http://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/forum/threads/pochettino-yes-please.8930/page-12

Well levy only has a few days to get his man because when the arsecum lose on saturday and arsenalfantv stage a mass suicide pact live from the archway bridge. Wenger may fall on his sword and we get pushed back again for the top candidates
I will say now what I said before AVB was appointed. I want to see a manager bought into the club who will be backed, by the exec, the team and just as importantly the fans.
Too many reactionary vocal people on all fronts for my liking. The one game mentality needs to go, whoever comes in needs backing even if we are bottom of the league at Christmas.
Time is the one luxury I want any new manager afforded to us.
I would prefer a younger manager with drive and ideas (matinez, fdb, pinochio, etc) as opposed to elder statesmen.
But the fans need to get back to the 'love the shirt' regardless of who is appointed. After all that is why TFC existed in the first place, to love the shirt, not hate the manager/players/chairman.
Time and love is all I want.
And I will undoubtedly be dissappointed once again this time next year, ho hum.

Yea I'm not too keen on him either. Hasn't he also been surrounded by controversy/trouble? Might be wrong though
He has a generic name too. Dour prick
Not to mention the fact he looks/speaks like he has cream cheese stuck in his teeth!
VERY off-putting in the post-match interviews.... And for that reason, I'm out!
It's a no from me I'm afraid...
Has he ever really failed anywhere. He did well in spain, did a good job at liverpool, won the europa league at chelsea while being heckled like he was the antichrist and has done a decent job so far at napoli. More than enough for me although I don't actually think we will get him
As I said, very good coach.
Problem is, as he showed at Pool, he doesnt do pressure well at all and is a disaster with transfers.
Aside from the fact they were incredibly dull under him.
