New Everton Manager

[JMT]

With any new manager I always believe they should get a season to get things wrong and the following season till Christmas to put it right. Not with Benitez.

If he makes a fist of it and he has us in the Euro places end of season one, ok. But if he's struggling in the first season I'd be all for binning him and searching again.

where would he have to finish bare minimum for you to not want his head dave.

Well thats what a blog is.

People on here have made their minds up about him without even giving him a chance, based on a mistranslated comment from 15 years ago and because he won trophies at a different team.

He literally spoke in English. Seriously, what is your definition of "mistranslated"?

If Spurs get Nuno, why did they waste all the money and time, by sacking Mourinho. The fella makes Jose look like Prime Fergie.

The most bizarre transfer movements in how long? Even West Brom got down to their 5th choice.

If HIM isn't announced by embargo time on Saturday, are we ok to fry Onions?

I don't often agree with you , but I do on this one mate. That said , I still don't think that this is a done deal

I dnt suppose it's done till it's done and announced. The local journos seem to be fully expecting it though.

1st. With an FA cup win too. But only if we'd triumphed in the Derby 5-0 home and away.

Sounds reasonable, tbh. Hope Mosh has made these his contractual KPIs.

He'd have to be top 7 minimum. Top 8 is the default setting here, so he has to better that.

There’s also the fact that his teams play dire ,defensive, retrogressive and boring football.
Those comments are just the icing on a rather unpleasant and bulbous cake.

This, also I suspect very much since nobody else is seriously in for him he is past his best, on the wane. Couldn't care less about the comment although he definitely meant it.

He clearly meant misinterpreted.

The only reason to appoint Benitez would be if Moshiri is RS

Moshiri doesn’t know what a football is.

I, too, wait 15 years before clarifying remarks.

the wild card is the derby. I can see Benitez winding Klopp up like a Swiss clock. They'll be at each others throats almost from his opening presser.

A dour miserable fat man having a go at a much better manager who’s done a far better job at his club than Benitez ever did? I think Klopp would just laugh in his face.
