Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

[Bkk Andy]

I would expect 7th place and a decent run in the cups. Anything less will be failure. Benitez is under greater pressure than any other manager, due to his rs associations. He knew this when he signed up to be fair.

7th would be great given our recent history including under a manager we all thought was world-class. Anything above 10th is an improvement though whether we like it or not

Its an exciting appointment whatever way you see it. Following carlo Ancelotti with all the other linked managers would have put me in a coma.

We are defo beta and absolutely gimped as a fanbase if we can't spin this on them and use it against them.

Melting down over it is exactly what they want. You are giving them the exact thing you don't want them to have on a plate.

What are you on about with this beta and meta rubbish?

 

[Blueclouds]

The guy wanted to be here even with a thr controversial bits around it. And it's not the first time he wanted this job. He also knows what football means to us. Let's ignore the rs about him because that what they want us to do

 

[Alan Whittle]

I wouldn't have minded Eddie. He did a good job at Bournemouth, seems to be a nice bloke and he's an Everton supporter.

Apart from the fact that he’s a Blue he doesn’t have anything going for him imo.
Each to his own though, plenty on our boards wanted him as first choice as well. Can’t see it myself but what do I know?

 

[svenboss]

Last manager I would ever envisage being at our club. I will support him and the team regardless.

We have stagnated far too long and I sincerely hope this appointment can propel us into real competitors.

Tme will tell, Rafael must be confident he can hit the mark. He has staked a lot on the line to be our manager. Very brave man to risk the backlash of a city.

I wish him good luck and hope things work out well for us.

Dutch?

Would loved to have said it as we know it ! Soon as you said that I thought of Koeman.

 

[Carloblues]

Absolutely hate the man, seems a horrible fit

But for some odd reason I think he's gonna do alrite you know.

I’ve worked for people of that degree (under someone else) and generally they’re [Poor language removed]. Won’t say anything more.

£15mil a year....2 year deal with option of a 3rd.

Surely cant be paying that????

 

[BiggyRat]

Yes, I've had my say but it's done so it's over to him to either prove us right or prove us wrong. Short term or long term, he's responsible now. Nowt we can do about it except support the team.

[Lord Buckethead]

You've really screwed things up if you appoint a manager and the first thing he has to do is appeal for unity over the decision.

 

[Ladda]

This joke has gone on far too long now. Where's the real manager?

 

[jceverton]

It's all one big joke to the posters on rawk. They ain't infuriated at all, they find this hilarious. We are now managed by a man who's face is on their banners. This is a very low and humiliating moment for Everton Football Club. This appointment feels like it's robbed the club of it's pride and dignity. It's feels like getting your trousers pulled down in public. The fall out will be nasty when this fella is a flop here.

Fixed it for you. Agree completely on the rest of it.
