BBC Sport - Danny Mills: 'Rafael Benitez 'almost perfect' replacement

[GrandOldParty]

On the down?
He's like 4 years older than Koeman and has won trophies nearly every year for the last 15 years. How many has Koeman won? Ordinarily a club due to finish 16th wouldn't have a hope of getting him but we have him in the vicinity as luck would have it.
When this guy says he'll get you CL, it's something you can probably rely on.

I stand by what I said, he has't been very good the last couple of years managing some very good sides in the process. Plus I would never take him after what he said about us, and also that there were two sides in England he'd never manage - ourselves and United I believe.

But each to their own I suppose.

 

[Stikapos]

Ditto. Frying pan dumping hot grease into a fire. What has everton turned into, the Oakland Raiders ???

yech.

When Danny Mills tries to offer his children advice they put a finger to his lips and say "Father, go to bed."

 

[toffeejack]

how has el gordo maintained this reputation, he has been a failure for over a decade, a fats has been living of a couple of fluky cup wins

been saying this for years - what he did at valencia was 15 years ago now. he's a cup manager because those things you can fluke with the right draws and help from officials, martinez got us to two semi this season, if we wanted a cup manager we would have stuck with him.

Newcastle had a piss easy run in - i didn't even have them down as in that much trouble when he actually took over, he's been an utter failure for a long time.

 

[Shu Ren Dennis Ng]

He's over the hill. Burned out maybe. After Valencia, maybe, not now, not anymore.

 

[dandydan]

He got one of the worst Liverpool sides in living memory to two CL finals.
He's an absolute winner, he'd be terrific for us.

How many times will I have to bring this out before the new manager comes in?

 

[deipnosophist]

The man is an idiot.

 

[AndyGray]

Like who?

Tommy Gravesen would be exiting

No.

Are you forgetting all the trophies he's won since 2009, and the Geordies are pleading with him to stay? He got Napoli CL , that's some failure, when you think of the pish we've been watching

No.

Wow, so winning about ten cups and Euro finals galore just doesn't cut it with you then?

No.

There are better and more exciting current options.

Yes.

Like who?

Really lad?

You properly love the condescending bellend don't you?

Do you also love wearing full kits when you go the match, sympathise with racists and have an unhealthy obsession with concrete? Because that's the kind of shobgite fanbase he has gravitated to in the past.

Get some self respect.

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Sorry Danny we don't accept Geordie relegating/Kopite cast offs around here.

 

[Groucho]

Benitez will not be our next manager.

Facht.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Unbelievable.

Roberto Martinez sacked: Rafael Benitez 'almost perfect' replacement - Danny Mills

Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez is an "almost perfect fit" for Everton, says former England defender Danny Mills.

Ex-Ajax boss Frank de Boer is the bookmakers' favourite to succeed Roberto Martinez, who was sacked by the Goodison Park club on Thursday.

Benitez and Newcastle have had positive talks since relegation was confirmed, but Mills believes the ex-Liverpool boss could return to Merseyside.

Benitez started the season with Spanish giants Real Madrid but faces the prospect of the second tier of English football if he remains at Newcastle next season.

The 56-year-old led Everton's city rivals Liverpool to a Champions League win in 2005 and guided Chelsea to a Europa League success in 2013.

Benitez's family have remained in the north west of England following his six-year spell at Anfield.

"Rafael Benitez goes to Everton, Roberto Martinez goes to Newcastle. That's not beyond the realms of possibility," former Leeds United and Manchester City defender Mills told BBC Radio 5 live.

"He's got experience, I can't see him staying at Newcastle," said Mills, who added that the Spaniard's Liverpool history "doesn't matter".

But former Tottenham and Newcastle midfielder Jermaine Jenas disagreed, arguing that Everton fans want to see attacking football.

"With Benitez, I can feel them going too defensive and they wouldn't be happy with that," he added.


"He lives there. His family is there and he'd be happy going back," he said.

Full of wind that boy Mills

Can we make a rule that we don't hire managers who's current team was just relegated? That's my only mandatory request.

 

[Donald Twain]

No.


No.


No.


Yes.


Really lad?


Christ.
