Martinez will put Everton ahead of his own job

Everton boss Roberto Martinez insists he'll put the club ahead of his own job.

Martinez is under scrutiny from the fans after the Blues went from Champions League chasers to flirting with relegation.

But he said: "We have three competitions next season and we have to be as good as we can.

"It's not about just doing things to doing things to save the manager's job.

"I don't believe in football in that manner, in football you need to have a real good long-term strategy as a football club to become better in every six months, every window.

"You have to put things in place to ensure the next year is going to be better than the last two years.

"From a performance point of view we want to win games and become a winning team."
