New Everton Manager

[Davidoff]

They must’ve just gone - well he lives local, so no excuses for being late for training

 

[Ufotone]

oh no!!

 

[Mrk]

If we cared that much about the voices of the fans, we wouldn't have a manager next season, that's the problem. At some point you havee to just make a decision and go with it regardless.

It they truly cared about us fans they'd enter voluntarily liquidation and put us all out of our misery.

I wanna say for the record that I'm all for appointing Benitez if he'd be in for the long-haul and up for a project that will involve having a top-down way of playing throughout the football club, will present a pathway for young players if they're good enough, will work with the DoF and help us move away from playing crap footy.

But let's be honest, at worst, Benitez will come here thinking he just has to have us around 7th and maybe win the odd derby and that will be sound. His time at Newcastle shown that he's too comfortable accepting a gig with low-expectations and hiding behind easy excuses when progress isn't made. At best, I think we'll just be getting a much lessened version of what Carlo was giving us, we made a lot of exceptions for Carlo because of his pedigree, I truly don't think we can make the same degree for Benitez, though very accomplished.

In terms of what this means for how our club is run, his appointment at worst shows Moshiri really does just goe for the name rather than the consideration of if they're a good fit, and at best it smacks of sentimentality for a good local figure.

He loves the city, I'm sure he'd love to manage us, I reckon he would probably get Evertonians more than most. Even on a personal level - a charity night was organised in my late Mum's name a few years back and a friend of me Dad's asked would he be happy to take some photos for it and promote it and he did. So I wanna make it clear, I really like the guy as a man, ex-Liverpool manager or not. But just don't think this would be a good appointment, sadly.

Rafael on the brink.

Most of the supporters are on the brink too

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

And it wouldn't with Nuno or Potter?

Conte and potentially Galtier aside they are all bang average managers mate. People need to get over the small club jibe and just accept it if it happens and see how he does.

I would take Nuno and Potter every day over Benitez and twice on Sundays. And the "jibe" is just one of about a dozen reasons why

 

[Liam-EFC]

He’s a good manager who’ll probably do better than any manager we’ve had since Moyes.

 

[Dougie]

Just imagine us singing your just a fsw at the pit after we win, that would be pure gold. God it’s hard being a blue haha

 

[Connor]

This club is FINISHED

 

[Curtis]

Heard Rafael is preparing for his stint as manager not by going over tactics or formations but just listening to a mix tape of booing.

 

[DanB90]

Rafael on the brink.

He can join the queue.

 

[ebeptonian]

Everton, aren't we.

 

[Stephen Gibson]

This board have hired gravy tits & now fat spanish waiter.

 

[Coffee and TV]

Jim white gets his news from Moshiri, it's Benitez

 

[wellillwill]

Well you didn't want Nuno did you? This is what you get.
