'BOARD MUST JUDGE ME'

28/04/16

Roberto Martinez says the Everton board is right to consider his future as manager in the wake of a disappointing season.

Asked about the prospect of a board meeting being called to discuss his future, Martinez said: "I understand it completely. I never felt being Everton manager is a manager to be judged in an average position.

"I encourage huge expectations. As a club, we have to drive for silverware and top four and when you aren't there the scrutiny needs to be there.

"It shouldn't be scrutiny of the last three months but instead the last three seasons. It's a scrutiny of the squad we have put together and scrutiny of how we play against the top teams."
