I would like to mention and remind everyone that Roberto has conducted himself extremely well throughout his career at Everton and has bought into the people's club ethic and he should not be ashamed int the stiff he has done for this club even through the hillsbrouh stuff always been involved and making speeches he is a good man and I am thankful he has been our manager I know it hasn't worked out on the pitch and would hope everyone can give him the respect he deserves. He's attracted some good players to this club we would have them without him and the players need to take 50% of the blame to.

He should be conducting himself well, as any normal human being would do.
If he was that nice a guy he would hold his hands up and walk away.
The trouble with him is his stubborness bordering on arrogance.
Was it Einstein who said, insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different result.
He's being doing the same thing for 3 years and his failure to see how defensively poor we are (and not doing anything about it) is criminal in my book.

Sometimes I do feel for him, but then I think about the sheer bullshit he talks after defeats and I realise he is taking the piss out of you, me and every Everton supporter.
The thing that really annoys me is that he actually believes himself that he's a good manager.
I don't know any Wigan supporters but I wonder what they think of him.
Don't forget, this nice guy deserted Wigan after getting them relegated.

He didn't desert wigan. He was approached and interveiwed by everton with a veiw to becoming manager
12 earlier the darkside had also interveiwed him. Do feel its to big a job for him but he has conducted and never bad mouthed are team.

Why should he walk away if he believes he is doing things right?
Because the fans demand it?
Remind me again what managerial qualifications the fans have?
All they have is opinions, but just because they have an opinion doesn't neccessarily mean its right.

Sid: Could you remind us of what management qualifications he has?

Alwaysblue: Yes he did desert Wigan. He stated his reason for leaving was that HE was not the right man to get them promoted back to the premiership.

Frank has it spot on and read back at the Wigan forums and you will see they are and were glad to see the back of him.

I'd have a little more respect if he walked away now but as has already been said many times he is too blinkered.

Also just like a manager in any profession he is expected to conduct himself with dignity. There are lots of nice people in the world, it doesn't mean those nice people are suited to every job. He is getting circa £3m a year to do that job and he is not getting the results expected. In ANY profession in the world he would have been brought to task over a season of very very poor outcomes. He's had two.

He has had enough in salary to retire comfortably for the rest of his life and if/ when he goes he will no doubt have his contract paid up.

And now he wants more time? To do what?

Bluemac and Frank slightly missing the point it seems. These guy aren't necessarily defending Bobby as a being a great manager and yes this season, possibly the one before too, has been disappointing but we are Everton fans and we should support whoever plays or manages this great club. We don't appoint them so why do we have the right to fire them?

Every great manager has struggled (Ferguson, kendal, shankly, even wenger) but given time have turned it around.

only time will tell if Bobby is the right manager, if he can learn to sort the defence out or if he brings someone in to sort defence, or if he is getting replaced.

Us as fans do get frustrated but Bobby, like any other person, does not deserve some if the abuse thrown at him. would you be happy if a hundred people descended in to your workplace screaming they wanted you sacked or calling you a Spanish knob, etc. of course it would cause you stress and upset.

Anyway rant over. wlill repeat, we just need to support the Everton club and brand as we always have, regardless who plays, manages or runs our special great club.

Problem is Geoff that we did support him, but results, football most times and the madness he spouts has caused the lack of trust in him to turn things round. The things us fans can see are blatantly wrong with the system he will not change no matter what. We can all see that and none of us have got football management experience, so we would expect him with over 7 years to see what's wrong infront of him.

So the question is, can he turn things around like other managers have?

To do that you have to look at his past history. Past history tells us NO.

Therefore you have to be proactive or face the consequences.

Ask youself, if, as his history shows, we find ourselves rooted to the bottom of the table next December, would you be happy that you did not take a proactive approach base on the fact he is a nice guy, our manager at this time, and deserved more time?

Remember we are basing this on Martinezs past record and not on other managers that have turned things around. For every fergie, Kendall and Wenger there are 10 pardews, Mclarens and. Martinez's to name a few.
