Martinez pens two-year contract extension

I guess that if a Barcelona/Real Madrid did come in for him we would get more compensation as well

It works for everyone

When Barca come knocking at least we will get something in compo. I don’t expect him to leave soon but at least we’re covered....

Viva Roberto IMWT

I don’t think he would have left anyway, but that’s not the point.
Our beloved BK does know quality when he see’s it, with some luck and a little finance the ’big boys’ will be wetting their pants!

He can’t exactly ask a transfer target to sign a five year contract if he himself doesn’t have one, the player may think he’s not committed...

As an aside I’ve actually enjoyed this transfer window as I haven’t given it a second thought as I have full confidence in bobby to do the business and for the first time in years I’m not worried about one or two of our big players going elsewhere. I must though admit to a bit of squeeky bum time last year! Great times to be a blue and long may they continue.

Good business if it bumps up the compensation due if someone comes in for him before we want to let him go, but potentially meaningless if he cannot get some weighty business done in this transfer window.

"And, when we find our man, we empower him. We support and provide him with everything at our disposal. We commit to our managers, and we’re immensely pleased that Roberto has committed to us. We want the best because only the best will do."

Because the amount of money that Roberto and Moyes’ have had in the last twelve years is embarrassing for a club with our heritage and tradition.

So much better than hoofing it up and down the pitch, and we "did good enough for who we are". Cheers! From Indiana.

"And, when we find our man, we empower him. We support and provide him with everything at our disposal. We commit to our managers, and we’re immensely pleased that Roberto has committed to us. We want the best because only the best will do.’

OK, well let’s see ...

But of course he’s using weasel words like ’everything at our disposal’ which means the money from players we dispose of.

The good news is not that we have his contract extended, but that RM was willing to extend it. The fella has a vision and 5 years should be enough to make it happen.....if he gets the proper backing.

The previous regime had instilled a "know your place " mentality into Evertonians. Not this lad.

Based upon 12 months I could happily watch Roberto's Everton for the next 25 years. I feel that the engraver will be needed well before he has been with us for 11 years.

But Billy "When we find our man, we empower him. We support and provide him with everything at our disposal."

Now THAT would be a proper commitment from you and your loaded cronies.

But you slipped up there Billy Boy, 'cos what you really meant was "Fuck All".

Imagine him trying to build his long term project at a club like Tottenham! Pochettino is flavour of the month right now, but if they fail to secure Champions League next season it won't be long before Levy is looking around for the next new hope. Martinez has selected Everton as much as Everton has selected him!

Just goes to reduce the already non-existent credibility of the English press considering someone invented a non-existent link to Spurs a few weeks back, at a time when this deal was likely agreed in principle.

As others have said, I hope we get a decent striker in really soon as well.

It's quite incredible the way he can look longingly at a corner in the room and just go off on one. Pure theatre from one the greatest buffers ever seen in world football. Him & Blatter are from the same mould alright.

Respect.

First sniff of the Barca job and he'll be doing a Johhny Heitinga on his peddle bike....who wouldn't?

Compensation for the manager is but a pittance compared to players transfers fees.

Just hope this isn't Billy Bullshits way of saying the transfer kitty is now used up.

You can't expect the man to work miracles, he needs proper backing from the board to get in Lukaku or A N Other to make sure we don't become toothless upfront like the previous two years.

At least Gueye is now off the pay roll!

Me and our kid (Poor grammar - sorry) have just been rolling around the floor with tears in our eyes watching that.

Bill passed the point of abuse years ago, he is now at the stage of hysterical laughter every time he pipes up with more sentimental nonsense in a world of big business.

How can anybody take this man seriously? He cried when Fergie said he was signing Rooney and put his mum on the phone!

He could quite easily be a comic creation off The Fast Show.

Dave, what has he even done for Everton?

(I however don't expect the comical long John Cleese speech here, because his pluses are somewhat lacking!)

His classic statement of "How do I know where the 20 million plus unexplained operating expenses (up from 1 million when he took over!!) go I am only the chairman" makes me despair every time I think of him as our chairman.

Bill fucking Kenwright that's who.

As for 'ultra negative' a perfectly normal human response to someone who constantly lies and acts like a luvvie twat.

At least Bill can pick a manager and stick by him.
Though in all honesty I do wonder if his loyalty is lead more by money than. conviction (and I strongly suspect that I already know the answer).

But please forever save us from a Chairman like Levy. OK so he can make sure that the dosh is available, but FFS what a confused, contradictory, control freak.

Boys Pen Billy definately has a fair compendium of faults. *shudder*
But he’s "the least shit" Chairman in the EPL. (That’s a really shyte pat on the back).

"As for 'ultra negative' a perfectly normal human response to someone who constantly lies and acts like a luvvie twat."

QED.

(By the way, I meant other than Bill Kenwright).
