New Everton Manager

[DanB90]

Can’t wait for the first game of the season when the board members sit in the ground and see just what we think of their appointment.

Other than newcatsle, they are all clubs deemed considerably better than us, so he should have win %ages that high. Pretty much all our managers linger below the 45% mark.

His newcastle numbers are actually bumped because they had a season where he was In the championship with them. (He also spent £150m with them)

This is a joke right?

Looking for a positive in all this,he does have a great Rod Hull and Emu tribute act lol

….I’d find this quite alarming if true. As far as Benitez is concerned, surely Everton hold the aces in the negotiation and shouldn’t pander to excessive demands. Take it or leave it.

Benitez needs us more than we need him.

Not sure, I think we need an experienced manager to help sort out the mess we're in. Whilst some might see him being detached from the players as a bad thing I don't. We've tried everything in terms of management style to get the likes of Siggurdson to perform. Benitez would come in and pick the team based on performance in each position and wouldn't care about upsetting senior players. He isn't the best option but he's better than Nuno or Howe.

Regardless of what we think the press know or not, there has to be some element of truth in what they’re saying?

So with that in mind, my heads utterly kettled by the fact that we apparently had a ‘40 MAN APPLICATION LIST’ but here we left with a fella who was managing the Club only 5yrs ago & a man who lives in the City!!!

Some selection process that.

Positively sane compared to Luton Town's "Manager Idol" from the early 2000s, when they claimed to have agreed terms with the three finalists of the 'public vote' and the fans would get to pick the final winner.

Yep , on us. We had the nerve to think we'd get a manager who at least 30 percent of us would look forward to seeing in our dugout.

Mike Newell " won " that didn't he ? I mean he was the last horse running.

I keep seeing posters saying his recent premier league experience was not good enough
Let’s put some perspective on his Newcastle side
He was loyal enough to remain with them in a drop to the Championship
He got them promoted first attempt ... a rare feat
He kept them up as a mid-table team and stabilised them there with zero input or support from his board
He left on principle after receiving no support from his board
The team he left was stead mid table mediocrity but they were premier league steady which given lack of funds and support was impressive ..
He won the notorious deluded Newcastle fans over big time
Before that in interim role at Chelsea he took 3rd in the League and won the Europa
Looking back at our run of managers since Moyes the only real stayer was Martinez .... the others were always looking at stepping up through us .... except BFS whom I have blocked from my memory
Give him budget
Give him support of the board
He is a stubborn stayer.... and putting his Red connections to one side I think a good choice
He will stay
He will make tough squad decisions
We will improve. I’m in
Ok haters hit me

Yes but it's understandable due to us getting Carlo, who is arguably better than all them..

I feel we've peaked and it's downhill from here..

Well he isn’t.

Agreed. I’m not bothered about us getting Benitez, but if we’re paying him 12 million a season then our board, or Moshiri are going to run this club to the ground.

We ain't gonna be paying that amount for him.

surely the Emperor would be in the Gwladys? “Let the hate flow through you” is going to be what 99% of the crowd is thinking.

 

[Groucho]

I cannot understand anyone wanting Rafael Benitez in 2021.

I never said I did.
