Everton legend Southall unimpressed by Martinez

Everton legend Neville Southall is against the appointment of Roberto Martinez as manager.

Southall believes Martinez isn't a big enough name.

He told talkSPORT: "I'd like to see Everton promote from within the club or I'd like to get someone in who is completely fresh who has won something.

"I'd like to see someone come in who has won league title somewhere. Whether it be from Spain, France, Germany, I don't mind. I want someone who actually knows what it's like to win the league somewhere.

"What Everton do lack is that little bit of ambition. Everton fans don't want to win the FA Cup, although they will take it if it's the only thing on offer, they want to back to winning the league and being in the top four.

"They need to make sure someone comes in who knows what the fans want, knows the history of the club and understands what the fans want."
