New Everton Manager

[kenada_blue]

But he doesn’t know anything about football though so he’s not actually helping himself from a business perspective by doing that is he?

Have you not liked any of the managers he appointed when they first signed?

If Benitez can still cut it as a manager then I’ve got no problem with him being appointed.
Yes, there was the small club comment, but he’s since said that he was misconstrued and meant small team. In other words, being critical of the way we played at the time. He wasn’t the only one critical of that…and many on this forum were too.
If we hadn’t had Sheedy we might not have been such a good side in the 80s.
Ablett played for both clubs and remains one of the last Everton players to actually win something…and he did it in a side managed by a lifelong Blue in Joe Royle.
So, I’m prepared to look beyond the former ties to the reds and appoint someone who might actually get us winning games again.
If Benitez genuinely thought we were a small club he would not want to manage us. He’s not totally stupid.
Quite frankly, we’ve gone from being a great side and a huge club in the 80s to a club in disarray in the 90s even with proven winners like Walter Smith managing us, to “plucky little Everton” in the early 2000s, to a laughing stock as a succession of managers have wasted money and achieved nothing. We haven’t looked like a good side since Roberto’s first season in 2013. Almost a decade ago.
So, we really can’t fall much further can we. I for one will celebrate Benitez if we appoint him and he restores some pride on the pitch.
We need to grow up. We can’t criticise the manager of Liverpool for calling us a small club (even if he did actually mean it) when our own manager at the time was bleating on about plucky little Everton and bringing knives to gunfights.

Good management is surely about delegating work and managing down. Moshiri isn't here for his footballing knowledge. That's why he's hired Brands, isn't it?

But he doesn’t know anything about football though so he’s not actually helping himself from a business perspective by doing that is he?

Ideally he would leave stuff like this to people with more football knowledge. But it’s hardly shocking that he isn’t.

His train set etc.

Gattuso will be getting linked tomorrow then

I don't like modern football in which a manager can happily manage both Spurs and Chelsea, or play for Barcelona and one of the Madrid clubs, or play for both Manchester clubs, etc etc. Even if you set aside the fact that he's a red...

- We will not get pacy, powerful football. He'll set up a defensive team for one season at least
- What is his coaching style, tactical philosophy? Do we like it?
- He only would want this job because his family are here. Not because of hte opportunity

He wouldn't rebuild us he wouldn't work with a dof, he falls out with owners and directors. He is on the way down in his career too rather like a manager who just left us

Alan Myers: Rafael Benitez has not been offered Everton job​

Everton have not offered their vacant manager role to Rafael Benitez, according to Alan Myers.

It had been reported by talkSPORT and Jim White that the job had been offered, and the Spaniard was set to be announced.

Its almost as if websites and newspapers get money just for tempting clicks. Make stuff up, lie, mislead, sensationalise - it doesn't matter its not to inform, its to acquire money for the owner of the "news" fabricator.

He coped with the cinnamon challenge better.

He blocked me about 8 years ago. Threatened to contact the British military and report me as I called him a seat sniffing peado.

Why is he YELLING??!!

 

[Papa Shango]

I'm not justifying it, I just think it's slightly hypocritical to be fuming by it based on his past rather than his credentials to be manager.

Sorry didn't mean you specifically. But what I mean is it doesn't matter who is fuming and why, it's just people are and that is a very toxic position to put the club in.

The reasons for the fume do not need to be investigated because it is just a natural human emotion.

From a personal standpoint though, past or credentials? Why cant it be both? I don't want him because he has done nothing of note for years AND has RS connections. Double whammy.

 

[Drico]

Oh.

Maybe Nuno will plug that gap.

Everton: Rafael Benitez leads the running for manager's job

Rafael Benitez is in prime position to be offered the Everton manager's job after a third round of talks with the club's hierarchy.

McNulty with it

 

[Thomasc]

I suspect that’s because you can’t read more than that without stopping for a break.

The kind of fans who would go along with this appointment I suspect have bad enough morals to think Boris Johnson is also a good choice of PM.

 

[Azza]

Oh.

Gattuso and Dunc.


That would sort out Soggy, Slomes and Wobs.
