So, unless he backs out as he backed out when offered the Villa job, Martinez is destined to be the next manager of Everton FC. It is, at the very least, an interesting appointment.

Despite what the song may say, the best things in life are most certainly not free. David Gold and David Sullivan have spent more on players while at West Ham than they ever did at Birmingham, but I attribute that to their desire to leave a legacy rather than their business sense. We all know what they prefer. But before we …
