A lot of us fans will struggle to stay if Benitez comes in too! Ex RS who plays horrible football - no thanks.
Get an attack minded coach, buy a couple of pacey wingers and let James feed them!

That’s good to hear, although some fans here seem delighted to have him coaching us next. I really would rather Benitez not being the manager though. I don’t like his tactics and I really don’t seem him as a good fit for Everton.

Quite a lot of the people saying things about Benitez and a few other bad shouts seem to have accounts that haven’t posted very much and a lot of them have only recently signed up... make of that what you will.

I think we need either another big name who we will give loads of money to spend or an ambitious attack minded coach who will try and unearth a few gems with brands and build up a fresh team

To be honest, I had an initial thought of having Benitez, for no other reason that he would be the biggest name of the safe options we had been linked with. I thought with his reputation and achievements in the game, he would be more of a statement signing than Moyes, Nuno, Howe, Potter, or any of the other flavour of the month names that have been linked. He would carry a certain amount of clout without being so big a name that we would constantly be worrying about the motives for taking the job in the 1st place.

The Liverpool connections are the obvious drawback, but honestly, after the promise and excitement of the Ancelotti appointment and how it unfolded, I've been left feeling a bit cheated, and I think I would be underwhelmed/suspicious by most names. The only choice I don't get that feeling with is Duncan Ferguson, but he seems to be very divisive to say the least.

I should be used to getting the wind knocked out of me by Everton by now, but it's surprising how often it still happens and how much it still stings.

Hopefully it won't be Benitez. That's my vote lol

We need a coach that will be willing to shake things up and have the courage to get rid of some players that are currently not working and sign up some young talent that, like you said, will help build a fresh team with a new mentality. It is a big challenge but Ancelotti was getting very well paid for it. We shall be able to find a new manager that really wants to be committed to such challenge and that receive the full support of the Board. No easy to break contracts too ffs
 
If he goes then we need to get a fee for him which if its the MLS would be a best case of $10-15mil.

Then we would need to replace him...how do you do that?

With Ancelotti's buyout and James' fee youre probably looking at £20mil in the transfer 'warchest'.

If he stays and plays 25 league games next season with the added incentive of having to perform for someone other than Ancelotti and proving that Colombia were wrong not to select him then we could really reap the benefits.

Just need to build the first 11 without him in mind and when hes fit then he brings the stardust.

….is there compensation for Ancelotti? I was under the impression a clause in his contract meant he could leave for free to join Real.
