‘Unbelievable’, ‘good luck with that Spurs’: Some Everton fans react to report about Tottenham

A number of Everton fans have given their thoughts on the report linking Tottenham Hotspur with Roberto Martinez.

The 47-year-old, who was Toffees manager between 2013 and 2016, is said to be interested in the Tottenham job and he reportedly also has admirers at Spurs.

Tottenham’s search for a new permanent manager is under way after the club sacked Jose Mourinho last week, with Ryan Mason taking the reins until the end of the season.

The Daily Mail claims Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will not allow his search for a new manager to drag long into the summer.

A report in The Guardian last week claimed Martinez was being eyed by Tottenham, and the Daily Mail has now claimed that the interest is reciprocal.

The Spaniard was sacked by Everton on 12 May 2016, with one game remaining of the 2015-16 season, amid an increasing number of protests against his management during games, as reported by BBC Sport at the time.

Since then, Martinez has done well at the helm of the Belgium national team.

Under his management, the Red Devils have lost just four out of 54 matches, with the country finishing in third place at the 2018 World Cup.

Despite his efforts for Belgium, some Everton fans don’t believe Martinez would do well for Spurs and think the north Londoners are being foolish by – reportedly – being after him.
