New Everton Manager

[LocalNative]

Potter will be in by Xmas.

Nah, Moshiri will be stubborn with this one. He's gone against the fans and many pundits in proceeding with this - he's hedged his bets and i'd be shocked if he admitted failure on this one. He'll see the season out at least.

100% this. I can (just about) see why people might not agree with you, but I cannot get my head round the people who just don't even seem to see it. All this 'get over it' stuff is just completely missing the point.

I bet at least one of the usual suspects replies to my post and tells me to "get over that comment from 15 years ago". It's like a mantra for them.

Ltest news per Sky, Benitez has been at Finch Farm and a 3 year deal has been struck.

This appointment just makes zero sense.

a manager who’s teams play awful football and is already hated by the fans. How on earth do the board think that’s is a good idea? I can’t get my head around it

Because Moshiri doesn’t care about the fans. He’s put so much money into Everton now that he wants to start see’ing some return. At the end of the day he’s a business man and Everton is his Business.

can someone photoshop Benitez's head onto Lord Voldemort's for me. Thanks

Why bother just leave it like that, and use it when the burst Spanish bollock tries to "prise" Shelvey away from the Horsepunchers for some godawful mountain of cash.

Perhaps you should have a rethink on the word sanctimonious. It's closer to home than you might think. I wasn't sneering at anyone, I just don't think people should be given a free pass due to uncontrolled emotions. That's why the 'grow up' comment. I stand by it, especially with respect to the abuse and threats. The difference with this manager is the comment he made. That's it. Not his style or whether or not he's finished. The comment is the source of the freak out. And yes I think people should take a look at themselves if they can't get past it. It was 15 odd years ago, he was the manger of a club competing in the CL, we weren't. It wasn't in his job description to learn about the history of other clubs in the league so for all he could see we were a small club. Not much done by us since his arrival in England tbf. People losing their rag over a manager of another club making a comment when frustrated really do need to have a look at themselves. I'd put my house on it that those that are most vitriolic towards RB looking down on us 15years ago have probably hurled much worse comments at other clubs/players/managers etc. Not getting paid for supporting, or buying tickets and merch, doesn't give someone the right to have no moral compass if they are holding someone else to account for things said in frustration.
You are right this appointment is more divisive, as you say look at us now. He might still do a great job and football isn't worth hatred regardless.

The fact that you think you can decide why people are bothered, and ignore them continually saying that you are wrong, means that anyone who called you sanctimonious/sneering/condescending/arrogant has been proved right. Bravo for that at least.

How does putting Benitez in charge, suffering a dip in Merch and Ticket sales, and paying him off in 6-12 months time get him an increased return on his investment?

We've just recruited a manager who finished bottom of the Chinese league in his last gig. Don't underestimate the incompetence of EFC.

When did that happen.

I can decide because it is right here in the thread. Muppet

I'm more bothered we have another defence first manager, not a fan of this playing not to lose as opposed to playing to win. It is this 'philosophy' that has gradually turned me off football as the game has become a bit boring if I'm honest with teams parking the bus. I hate it, it's not in the spirit of the game. Go out on your shield so to speak.

When did that happen.

What time do you think Benitez will be announced?

I got through to the bolded part.

Why are you lying?

Correct.

No, people are giving their actual reasons for being unhappy, and you're choosing to ignore all the ones you don't want to hear. Telling other people to grow up and then calling me a muppet one post later. Dead bright you.

Has he been sacked yet?
