Official Everton supporters thread

Sky Sports are reporting that Martinez has been sacked!
 
I don't see why any top manager would want this job. Everton don't seem to have any money to spend ever. They do seem to bring through a decent bunch of players from their academy though. Perhaps a 2nd stint for Moyes without having to sell their best players anymore.

I remember the promise that David Moyes made to me 10 years ago: "once you walk through those doors, you'll fall in love."

Today, I will walk through those doors one more time, and then I will depart.

I will depart with love in my heart for the greatest of football clubs, the People's club, Everton FC.

I will always be thankful to so many. Of course, the fans-- those who bring such passion and make Everton what it is. My teammates. Among others, Tony Hibbert, Leon Osman, and Leighton Baines were always a shining example of how a true Evertonian should train, play and act. Phil Jagielka has been the greatest and strongest captain, and it has been a privilege to follow him. Two great managers. David Moyes was the ultimate leader, combining strength and integrity. I am greatly indebted to Roberto Martinez for his great decency and commitment to me as a player and a man. My wonderful Chairman, Bill Kenwright, whose approving smile from the Director's Box will be an enduring memory; words cannot express my gratitude. And there are so many others that work at the club or support the club who are all part of my family, now and forever.

I will soon walk out on the Goodison pitch, the 414th time I have been honored and trusted to wear the famous Everton shirt. I will walk out of the tunnel one more time to hear Z-Cars and the thunderous applause of 40,000 Evertonians. I will hold these images and sounds with me wherever I go.

I am going home to America. But after a decade in Blue, THIS IS MY HOME. I love all of you, and am so grateful for what the club and everybody affiliated with it has given me. EVERTON, you have become a part of my soul. You'll forever be in my heart. COYB!!!

Your #24,

Tim Howard

Sad
 
The club are/were chasing Ronald Koeman while Moyes has hinted that he would consider returning.

David Moyes has indicated that he would consider a return to Everton after Ronald Koeman confirmed he was set to stay at Southampton.

Everton are reported to be targeting Koeman as a replacement for Roberto Martinez, sacked last week, but the Dutchman looks likely to remain with the Saints.

That could open the way for a return to Moyes, who left Goodison to join Manchester United in 2013 but was sacked after a defeat at Everton after less than a full season.

Full article.
 
I find it strange Moyes would return after all the abuse he received from Everton fans.

It wouldn't make sense to me for either party. He achieved the maximum he could with the club and probably got as far as he can go as a manager, fringes of the top-4/5.

For Moyes, I think either the Newcastle (if Rafa leaves) or Villa job make more sense. Those two wouldn't mind if he stabilised them in the Premier League on a dime.

But whomever takes over at Everton has quite a job as they'll be in a rebuilding phase.
 
So Koeman/Southampton and Everton are in talks.

Poor Southampton, they're always getting raided.

Strange one that, seems a sideways move. Southampton were doing well towards the end of the season.

Money, apparently. Everton's new major shareholder is throwing a 100-pound war chest around.

First order of business though will be hanging on to Lukaku and Stones. At the least I suspect both Manchester clubs will be having a look at Stones.
