Frightening how wrong all this is.
How is it wrong? I'm not saying he got them into the PL, I'm saying he set a foundation for the club and took them from League one to a playoff challenger in the Championship. Also there's no way you can't agree they didn't have the worst squad in the league year after year.
a) He didn't "basically make them a Premier League club", they had two managers after him.
b) He didn't "win the FA Cup while keeping Wigan up"
c) It's not Everton's highest ever points total.
It was all wrong.
Incidentally, if you're going down the route of "Martinez built Swansea even though he didn't have direct influence on promotion", then I'm afraid Moyes completely blows him out the water as far as Everton are concerned.
Really, didn't know they achieved more under Moyes tbh, that's surprising, what season was it?
They must be pretty close to it now though
It's their highest in the PL era.
It was my understanding that it was higher than Moyes ever achieved at any rate (which is all that really matter for this debate)
