They finished 5th in 13/14. Highest average attendance in 10 years last season. Can't be too many unhappy fans.
Since his sacking they've just sold their record number of season tickets ever. As I keep saying, ask about Martinez on WSAG. I havent seen Everton play as much as they have, and same with Wigan who did progressively worse when he took over.
That will partly be down to new owners and the excitement that brings. I can imagine we'd sell double the amount of passes if we got new owners. Everton performances largely driven by injuries last season - I know a ST at Wigan and he thought the football under Martinez was excellent.
Go on another site where a handful of fans are in meltdown and having hissy fits? No thanks. It's not a true reflection of opinion of a manager. It'll largely be based on last season which was poor, but driven by injuries. The season before they finished 5th - which is good for a club like Everton.
No they weren't. They were driven by a manager who's ****ing clueless in the art of defending. He's interviewing for your job today I'm told
We finished 11th 2 seasons running, with a squad that was top 6 quality, last season was nothing to do with injuries.
Martinez seems to perform well in his first season at the club when he inherits a group of players. It seems to fall apart when he starts recruitment.
