Sounds like Pocchetino is defo number one from that
joint number one with FdB....FdB satisfies that criteria too

Agreed. Would fit Martinez too.
I would be quite surprised if the club had plans to go for Benitez when Levy makes a statement like that.
Personally I wanted Brendan Rodgers but once he went to Liverpool I flirted with the idea of Martinez but I was never 100% convinced if I'm totally honest. I saw a great deal of pro's for bringing him in but had my reservations and have to say that I believed that at the time AVB just had the edge over him in my mind.
Time will tell I guess, but I look to have made a wrong decision, albeit I'm not in charge!
I still think the jury is out on Martinez. He's yet in his career been able to sustain defensive solidity beyond his first season. Next season will be the one where he proves his quality (or not). Ditto Rodgers actually with the demands of CL football.

I think the difference this time is that Martinez actually has some decent defenders at his disposal.
Except for Alcaraz who is pure ****e IMO.
McCarthy wasn't that badYeah, infact all Everton's signings other than their loans are pretty ropey this season if you ask me. Martinez's actual signings... Kone, Alcaraz and McCarthey??? Absolute pony.

If true that should fit squarely in the "cons category" for Martinez as he not only signed him, he signed him twice.
At work so short reply
Yes they have to sell all of them but this year and last at least 2 of the others were real favourites and yet he still won it
Last years was an incredible feat considering the squad he had
Also as I know a lot of people love a stat
A career win % of something like 68.5
Not forgetting assistant manager of the world cup finalists
The man just reeks of success as a player and a manager and would it not be great tp actually get a manager with no ties to another pl club at all ?
That way when he is doing well he is ours not poached or on loan/stop gap

I don't think there's any less chance of FdB being poached than someone like Poch being po(a)ched. In fact FdB to Barca at one point or another seems quite likely if he keeps being successful. No ties to the PL also means no PL experience, on of the negatives about him.
You seem to know a lot more about the Eredivisie than me, if you have the time for it later it would be cool if you wanted to expand a bit on exactly what kind of challenges FdB has faced and overcome whilst at Ajax. What exactly it is that makes it an incredible feat, because that's not the impression I've gotten as an outsider and I'm frequently wrong about such things.
He's played very well all season I think. Of all Martinez's signings I would say he is the one who has been justified. At Spurs, with Baldini organising the signings, would Martinez not be ideal to mould the players to a certain style of football? He took only a few months to have a David Moyes team playing some of the best football in the league.
All pointless conjecture obviously as he isn't going to be the manager
