Kaizero Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Wonder if Celtic would go for Henrik Larsson. Not sure how he's doing in Sweden 35.29% win percentage. They'll go for Neil Lennon again tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Had no idea Watford are thinking about sacking Quique Sanchez Flores. I know they've been pretty poor since Christmas (beat us twice obviously) but he's got them into the cup semis and they've looked safe for ages. All this after a large overhaul of their squad last summer, bringing in numerous nationalities into the squad and its his first job in England. Madness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Bit late to the party on this whole Conte stuff but i really struggle to understand what Chelsea are doing, the owner has fallen out with Mourinho twice because of the way his teams play and Conte based on his time at Juventus is no different and if anything he might be more stubborn and cautious. I suppose if it fails they can just throw money at the next guy but still it doesn't make much sense imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Mourinho was sacked last time because he had them near the relegation zone, nothing to do with style of play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Amazing how the Everton fans are allowed to call for his head at being 11th in the table, yet under The King us deluded Geordies should have been happy with 16th place finishes and some of the worst football that we've ever seen.

1878 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Tbf I don't blame Everton fans for wanting rid but if Stones and Barkley were elsewhere the press wouldn't give a s***. To be fair, we've had almost 2 years of a side that should be challenging for top 4/top 6 being midtable or bottom half, while the press didn't raise an eyebrow. It's only because fans have started protesting against Martinez that they've picked up their pens. The press were happy to go along with his Mr. Nice Guy image without questioning his horrific results because they don't give a shit about Everton. Compare our coverage to the mass hysteria in the papers over dips in Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool's form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hijacking the thread but 1878 what's your view on him as a whole? I just think he's utterly deluded. Good first year, I think he earned the right to turm the 2nd season around but he's completely lost his marbles. Pitiful stuff recently, some of the most half arsed stuff I've seen in my lifetime, and that included some real shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Baines (although he's on the decline), Coleman, McCarthy, Mirallas and Deulofeu should be top 6/ top 8 players too imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 No argument that they're good players, but I still wouldn't have them as top 6 material. Solid top 10 at best in my mind. Leicester aside would you really take Everton's players over the likes of Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea or even Stoke? We are called deluded for wanting a team not to be threatened by relegation, yet Everton fans with a team who are sitting comfortably in the league are right to be demanding Martinez's head?
