Jamie Carragher says if Everton want to sack Roberto Martinez then they should do it before Sunday. Wednesday nights 3-0 defeat at Sunderland stretched their run to just one win in 10 in all competitions and banners were held up in the away end calling for the manager to go.Martinez did not want to discuss his future after the game, but Carragher says Evertons new owner Farhad Moshiri and chairman Bill Kenwright should not let him face the Goodison Park fans on Sunday if they intend to bring in a new manager this summer. Patrick van Aanholt scores for Sunderland against Everton He told Sky Sports: If Bill Kenwright and the new owner who has come in alongside him want to change the manager at Everton Football Club for next season theyve got to do it tomorrow.Basically, they shouldnt be putting Roberto Martinez through the final game of the season at home to Norwich.Everton have got a fanatical support home and away and I couldnt believe how many empty seats there were in the away end tonight. Everton boss Roberto Martinez would not answer a question about his future There were the normal banners that weve seen in the last few weeks and theres very few, if any, supporters now wanting him to stay in the job.I think it could be a poisonous crowd and reaction to Roberto Martinez and the team at the weekend. If they want to keep the manager then keep him and he obviously has the final game and back him.But if they are thinking of changing the manager, dont let him go through the weekend.Martinez was appointed in 2013 and he guided the team to fifth place with 72 points in his first season in charge. If they are thinking of changing the manager, dont let him go through the weekend. Jamie Carragher They dropped to 11th last season and despite heavy investment in the squad they are currently 12th with one game to play - and Carragher says it will be tough for Martinez to recover from that slump.Its been a poor season for Everton, you cant dress it up, he added.Last season wasnt really good enough. He made a fantastic start. On the back of David Moyes doing a great job for 10 years, you thought there would be a drop-off, but there wasnt and he actually took Everton forwards. Fabio Borini (left) challenges with Evertons Ross Barkley They won big away games and got the most points theyd ever had and you though they were on the cusp of something; maybe challenging for trophies and getting in the top four.They fell away last year and its fell even further this season. After two years on the bounce it will be difficult to come back from that.

Before we break down the reasons why, its important to clear up potential confusion and dispel the possibility of misinterpretation. This is not about Bautistas crucial sixth-inning ejection from Sundays loss to Tampa Bay, a defeat which involved Bautistas replacement in right field, Nolan Reimold, misplaying a routine flyball in the 10th, leading to the Rays go-ahead run, and then striking out in the afternoons final at-bat. This is not about Bautistas on-field production or his daily preparation and work ethic. These areas, if not impossible, are difficult to criticize. This, certainly, is not about Bautistas leadership. Its not about whether Bautista is a leader or is not a leader and its not about whether or not leadership matters in baseball. Re-read the previous paragraph; Bautista produces, prepares and works hard. What this is about is the direction in which the franchise is headed and whether keeping its superstar player, who will be 34 years old on October 19, is in the clubs best interest. With Sundays incident serving as the framework for the conversation, Bautista held court before Mondays tilt with the Red Sox and had this exchange with Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star. Question: "Do you and Alex (Anthopoulos) have an understanding and a special relationship that doesnt need constant conversation to understand each other? Bautista: "I think so." Question: "And its all about winning?" Bautista:"To who? To me, yes. To him, youd have to ask him that." Question: "Has your perception of his dedication to winning changed in the last year?" Bautista: "No. I think he wants to win. I think hes fully committed to winning." Question: "Has your perception of the organizations dedication to winning changed?" Bautista: "I dont have enough information to answer that question." There remains a contingent of players in the clubhouse who are lesss than enthused with the organizations relatively quiet approach to the non-waiver trade deadline.dddddddddddd The lack of activity didnt jibe with the message delivered by team president Paul Beeston at the annual end of spring training banquet, when players were told if they were a winning, contending outfit in July, the payroll budget would accommodate player additions. Bautista and Casey Janssen were two veterans who, on July 31 in Houston, publicly voiced their displeasure. Janssen likely is gone. Bautista is still under contract for two more seasons. Hes guaranteed $14-million next year. Theres a club option, at the same dollar figure, for 2016. What that means is Bautista is an attractive chip on the market. His .284/.399/.500 line is elite – that .399 on-base percentage continues to be the best mark in baseball among qualified hitters. Why does it make sense to deal Bautista? The Blue Jays starting rotation is turning a youthful corner. Soon it will be made up of Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez, Drew Hutchison and Daniel Norris. The positional roster is built to win now. You could argue the positional roster is beyond its ability to win, past its prime. Centrefielder Dalton Pompey is the only positional prospect of consequence playing higher than Single-A. Hes currently at Triple-A Buffalo. Its time for the Jays to supplement the young pitchers with a more youthful positional corps. The way to do that is to take the best asset, Bautista, and use his prodigious productivity and cheap contract to secure a haul. Not that the players interest is considered in these matters, but Bautista is deserving of an opportunity to play playoff baseball before Father Time catches up to him. With the rotation projected to be so young next year, the opportunity isnt going to come here. To be clear, Anthopoulos shouldnt trade Bautista for the sake of trading Bautista. If the right deal comes along, Anthopoulos absolutely should pull the trigger. This team, this core, has had two shots at making it work. It hasnt worked. This offseason, the time will come to be open-minded about trading the Blue Jays best player. ' ' '
