Let the counter-briefing begin

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

The players are the biggest problem

They just aren’t good enough

That doesn’t fit the narrative the club wants to peddle though

Don’t fall for it Blues

Unless there’s a major clear out we’re guaranteed to be here again and again

Just stop following all the opinons and latching onto every bit of PR. Its making people crazy. As if the club isn’t going with positive messages and trying to spin a favourable narrative.

Reading way too much into it IMO.

Those who live to ride the roller coaster once more have an opportunity to do so. The club's been pantsed, but is anyone surprised? I thought it was lovely to have Carlo while he was here, but his value is known to the world. The world called.

This will sort in some Evertonian fashion and things will lump on, fall apart, or possibly improve. Like a marriage, it's best not to dwell on it and get on with life sometimes.

Others will find that drama and public theatre beckons. I'm not their audience. Let me know when we get a gaffer.

Bumping as we are about to enter the next phase. We will see coordination on:

- why x obscure stat means the new manager is better than Ancelotti
- why the new manager means Richarlison / Digne / Rodriguez will flourish
- lots of "influencers" saying "[new manager] wasn't my choice but all proper fans will get behind him COYB NSNO"
- ex-player wheeled out to praise appointment
- fans who don't want the manager besmirched and belittled
- [New Manager] does good social initiative

But good luck in advance to the media team having to implement this for Benitez.

We must stop them from peddling a false narrative Joseph. We must be strong.

The main things you’ve missed here has hopefully already happened: the leaking of a big story that a horrific choice for the job has got the job so that when an average choice for the job gets the job we can say ‘well at least it wasn’t Benitez, let’s get behind him COYB NSNO FTRS’

Fingers crossed ShibbyFrandel. After the moment I think we are going to get a "six times Benitez PRAISED Everton" type articles and #BenjiWinstanley telling us that he'd been told Benitez was always the number one pick and some nonsense about a Bobble Hat

In the Echo today (no links) - Kirkbride has recycled a whole Balague quote to fabricate a lamentable fiction about Usmanov wanting Benitez. Of course, he doesn't bother to source any proof himself, but the title of the article is Why Alisher Usmanov is pushing for Rafael Benitez to be Everton's new manager

Hack journalism at its worst. Surely Kirkbride should have some self-respect?

 

[Bob Elstone]

Why didn’t the club have a contingency plan in place given that ancelottis contract was so wide open!? Clueless

Do clubs keep spare managers in closets for when theirs decides to abruptly quit on them?

the Echo has zero credibility.

theres never any scoops or originality.

a week or so ago they were regurgitating Insider Footballer which is a kid in his mums basement.

that’s not a contingency plan. They can still have a shortlist of potential managers in mind when they current managers contract is a poorly open as it was.

But RM may be kicked out of the CL and aren’t exactly a bunch of spring chickens. I think their team has the same average age as Everton.
anyway. Hope he fails.

Oh agreed man is a turncoat don't care what he does from here on in made his bed he can lie in it
