New Everton Manager

[blue61]

Do what?

Moody old get.

We’d be ‘enduring’ whatever manager came in. That’s the reality of where this squad is at. Any manager would still have had to use Keane Coleman Siggurdson Davies Gomes extensively. They’re utter donkeys who can’t/won’t play football for anyone no matter what their philosophy.

At least Benitez will bring some discipline to what is one of the most unprofessional squads in the league. For me this is just a bridging period, a season or two of hard medicine to put us in a position where an actual decent manager that we want could take us forward.

Moshiri can’t risk much else though, imagine giving this lot to a manager with no proven background in the premier league or of working with poorer players, they’d have him under the bus by December like they did with Silva.

The finger of blame can be pointed in all sorts of places Moshiri, Koeman/Walsh, Brands, but the harsh harsh reality is that we have a squad of very poor players (some I’ve listed not even premier league standard) and thanks to FFP we’ve got no real way of changing that quickly. We just can’t give the train set to a manager that’s a gamble now, as difficult as that is for some fans to accept.

I don’t want Benitez as much as the next bloke but I’m not shocked at all that the short list looked like Nuno, Moyes, Benitez. Imagine Potter with this lot! We’re an injury or two to Docuoure or Calvert Lewin away from having the worst mid field and front line in the league, if Pickford from first half of last season turns up we would be in the relegation mix.

For me it looks like Moshiri has gone for the lowest risk option. I can’t blame him for that because I wouldn’t trust these players an inch either, they’re a Frankenstein squad, an utter abomination that are a disgrace to the club. What I do blame him for is that he’s presided over this whole mess for the last five seasons.

Is it not this thinking that gives the board a pass. If we as fans accept this mediocrity then we get what we deserve. Same as when we appointed Allardyce

You list players such as Keane. He is one of the better centre halves in the league. The others would get in half The teams in the league. Any half decent manager would get us mid table. Let’s at least go for one with some up side

The bigger question is if the managers you list were in fact our shortlist is why they were. Totally uninspiring and lacking of ambition.

How many more times are we going to just say it’s another year or two of transition

I think you’re spot on. I definitely don’t like it but I came to accept it a few days ago.

Get these players well drilled, working hard and hard to beat. At times our midfield had completely wondered all over the place and teams had so much space to create it was awful - the Villa game comes to mind especially.

If he can bring in a good right side to our team with plenty of pace we’ll be much better balanced and hopefully decent on the counter attack.

He’ll need to get us in to Europe and then hopefully someone like Simeone will fancy a change and a challenge of pushing us on in a few years.

Find it mad that Spurs and Palace who have both known that they needed a new manager for months, are managing to make as much of a hash of things as we are, who got dropped in the excrement at the last minute.

If Benitez and Brands are going to work together on rebuilding the squad, and if he can make us hard to beat, then I think a lot of it will die down pretty quickly. He won things with them, but he's had so many jobs before and since that he just doesn't register with me as being so died in the wool Liverpool that others seem to. Like I've said, the fact he'd even put himself forward for it says as much. Klopp, Gerrard, Dalglish, Souness, etc, would never even consider it. And nor would I if they were genuine candidates.

2 of my favourite ever players played for them 1st, Don Hutchison and Peter Beardsley, and I didn't want either to begin with for the same reasons. But I associate them both with Everton now.

People will come around to it over time, I'm convinced. If Sammy Lee could take a post here and be humble about it, then I don't see why Benitez can't. The idea of Sammy Lee was far less palatable at the time, and to be fair to him, he gave his all and treated us with respect. He is far more red than Benitez will ever be. Same goes for Gary Abblet, not to mention Sheedy, Watson, and even Peter Reid, albeit never in a playing capacity.

If the idea is to replace Ancelotti with as like for like as you can get and to continue with the plan despite the huge setback we suffered when he walked, then you have to respect the plan and just hope it all works out.

Again, he wouldn't have been my 1st choice, but compared to some names mentioned, he is nowhere near the bottom either. By some way. And I can objectively see why he has been considered, if you look past the obvious.

I'd still be happy giving it to Ferguson, who is pretty much the polar opposite as far as appointments go, but that seems to have been equally divisive, albeit with much less vitriol. Similar applies with Martinez.

The only other option I've seen suggested that I would be more positive about of at this point in time would be Mancini, but I don't how realistic that 1 is. The rest have either been uninspiring or completely unrealistic.

Carlo made us hard to beat.. people where not happy

They can't take away our " Everton that " . We have suffered enough to claim that cry of despair as ours forever.
Spurs or Palace that just doesn't sound the same.

I'm bored...and pre-season hasn't even started...

 

[MrGrumpy]

Do we have any evidence it’s Benitez, onions been wrong a couple of time, theoneandonly a troll and Greg o keefe knows nothing and never has,

[DanB90]

Have we considered the fact that when he accepted a job at the Palace, he didn’t realise he’d be managing a football team?

 

[Noble Savage]

Just add another reason to the long list of reasons why I never listen to them gammons.

 

[Leylo]

Just heard this said would be announced before the weekend, also said the boardroom is split on the decision, happy Friday everyone
