Fat Spanish Gobsh........Yay/Nay??

[Seathestars]

My first attended match was on Boxing Day 1954 when I was eight, as a belated Christmas present. It was love at first sight.
My first season ticket was 1962, purchased by two very kind and generous parents.
My first real anger with the club was at the appointment of No-Mark o' Silver, where I retained my season ticket, but gave the card to a friend as I felt rebellious and childish and said I would not attend until he had been replaced.
If the Benetiz appointment is certified, I will become even more childish and not renew my ST, which will open up an opportunity for somebody on the waiting list a chance to acquire one (LGS, excellent view and surrounded by first class Blues).
I'm under no illusions, I will not be missed.
Everton will always be MY team and GOT will always be my family, but from thence on, it will be from a distance.

I feel exactly the same, I’m torn between not renewing my season ticket or renewing and seeing him on the touch line, both thoughts make me feel sick.
I feel like I’m about to give my daughter away in marriage to some knob head who I know doesn’t love her. Thing is, I know I will be on his case the first second things go wrong, I will be toxic and I don’t want to be.
I‘m trying to separate my support for the team and club away from him but it’s difficult.

I’ve had a season ticket since 1983. I’ll be going this season home and away. I rarely miss a game. Can’t understand why anyone would not go and watch Everton. We will be here longer than Rafael, really don’t see the issue or the fume or the childish behaviour

Sad to hear a lifelong supporter feels that way but don't throw it all away he could be gone before Xmas and if he isn't then it might be because we are doing well .For someone who has being going and supporting so long don't miss the chance ,just in case it is Moshiri's best decision yet .

Thank you!

….his name is Benitez.

That "spine" was non-existent for 20 years when Rooney was being sold from out under us by Stubbs, Kenwright ring-fenced the King's Dock move with an invisible fence, claimed he wouldn't sell Rooney for 50m and then did so for half, threatened the fanbase with claims Goodison would fail health and safety rules while trying to push through a move to a shack in Kirkby, and continually failed to invest in the club in the manner of its traditional peers.

Where was the spine then? Frankly, many of us have long felt we have little, collectively in common with many of our "fellow fans". That others are finding that out now is by the by.

I'm confused, is your argument that because people didn't complain loudly enough about poor decisions made by the club in the past they should now just shut up and accept any decision from now until eternity?

The outrage of Benitez appointment is mainly perpetrated by fans who fall into the stereotypcal "bitter blue" category that the kopites accuse us of. Personally, the quicker the bitter blues are rid of, the better.

You're right we should know our place and accept mediocrity.

Evertonians have been accepting mediocrity since the 90s. This outrage should have been directed at Kenwright before Everton descended into mediocrity otherwise we wouldn't be a midtable club that we are now. Benitez is still a big name, we can downplay his managerial skills all we want, but it's mostly all in denial.

True this, we need a bit of a fan base cull, get rid of a few whoppers who hold the team back, it's long overdue.

Not happy about it, but I’ll get over it. He’s said stuff about is and we’ve hurled abuse it him…. It’s football at the end of the day and we all spout crap.

If he gets us winning then great, if he doesn’t then he’ll inevitably get the sack and we rinse and repeat.

We all just need to suck it in and realise we’re just a basket case of a football club. We have no control over what’s gonna happen.

How exactly are fans holding the club back? Are we deciding on playing or coaching staff? Clearly not looking at what's happening now. Are we deciding on tactics, corporate structure and governance? Are we negotiating sponsorship deals or kit manufacturing? What a stupid thing to say.

Who the fuk are you to judge me and why I dont want that fat knobhead anywhere near my club?

47 years I've followed Everton
Home, away, abroad, pre seasons, the lot.
I was there at our lowest ever attendance for a home game, and away game. Rotterdam, Wembley, Villa Park, Maine Road, I was there every game.

So what makes you think you're any better than I as a fan?
Because you'll accept a kopite in charge of our club and I wont?


Do me a favour and fuk off with your sanctimonious bullshit

Not exactly. This is a forum for everybody to express an opinion. If it differs from yours, then that is the perogative of the poster.
I think the majority of anti-Benitez posters have been at pains to point out that it is the obvious lack of success he has had at any club for way too long. His success prior to that was done either at enormous cost, ie pre FFP, or with a team he inherited. He has never built a team, and certainly nothing like the basket case at Everton.
It does not make them 'bitter' to be wary of the calibre of appointment, nor does it need the attack they should be got rid of.
Opinions! Right.

Absolutely , I've changed my outlook on Everton a few times since being on GoT due to others informed opinions .
Debate is good . This ain't F'ing Twitter .
