I'm very interested to see how Martinez does at Everton. Considering the financial limitations at Wigan I find it hard to judge the success or not of his time there. I think I'm leaning towards him being a good manager but this is the litmus test.
Best of luck to him. Likeable guy.

I think he will do very well. The thing is he will need time as his football seems to be fairly different from the Moyes era. May well take time.

he's so different from moyes - personality and football philosphy - that i think they will be in for a long transition i.e. it would get worse before it gets better. a lot depends on the players now to trust and support him.

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright: "When David [Moyes] first came to see me, he sat down, and we were in a bad state. First words, he said we are not going down. Roberto's first words, he will get us in the Champions League. He had obviously studied the football club and recognised what David Moyes has achieved.

Agree on all counts.
One thing Moyes and Martinez both have in common is teams that don't play a whole season. Everton always seemed to start badly or finish badly, while Martinez's Wigan redefined the late run. Overall I'd say both made smart buys and got the most from their teams.
Now Martinez has signed with Everton, what does it say about the Liverpool job last year? Did he turn it down, did they turn him down after interview, or was it mutual. Whelan also seems much more positive about him joining Everton.

I like Martinez but I think he'll be an Everton flop and won't still be in charge of them for the 2014/2015 season.

Could that be his 'tube ticket' moment.

unless everton are in the bottom 5, I think everton will have the patience to let him try for more than one season

I think that's a really silly thing for Martinez to "promise"...

I don't think he'd have gotten the job if he hadn't been willing to make those promises, plus it doesn't give any sort of time frame. It could all just be part of a five year plan or some such.

I think it's a fair target to set, but to "promise" getting it seems ill conceived.
He will be up against more than 4 clubs that dwarf them financially (United, City, 2x scum), Liverpool that has twice their turnover, we're close behind Liverpool and there are two clubs in a similar financial position to them in Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Aston Villa.
To get into the top 4 again would be a massive achievement, I think it's very likely that he will face a poor run of form and come under pressure before he can come close to achieving that. Stating goals like these will just increase the pressure on him when that almost inevitable poor run comes around. Although to be fair we only have what Kenwright said to the press that Martinez said. Might not have been something Martinez wanted to be spread.

New manager Roberto Martinez says Everton must strengthen this summer to build on the club's recent success.
Under predecessor David Moyes, the Toffees finished in the top eight of the Premier League for seven seasons in a row between 2007 and 2013.
"We need to bring new signings, players who will develop that competition and give different options on the playing field," the 39-year-old told BBC Sport. "We want to bring an extra dimension and competition for places."
hmmmm.....not sure that's the right thing to say on the 2nd day on the job at Everton. doesn't he know that they are skint? unless he's already seeing something we don't know.

Only if Rodgers moves on to a more competitive club. I think Rodgers is going to be an excellent Manager at Liverpool and I am bracing myself for them to seriously challenge us next season.

Agreed. Everton will have far more patience, that added to the expectations of the Liverpool fans and the fact that Rodgers is incredibly delusional.
