New Everton Manager

[toffeeblue9]

I have spent ages thinking about this. I can see some reasonable arguments as to why he might be a suitable appointment. I can also see some valid reservations about him on the footballing side.

Despite all that, the one thing I can't quite get past is that I absolutely detest him. Like proper loathing, the sort where just seeing his face just puts me into a bad mood for hours.

The thought of seeing him holding a blue scarf or whatever makes me nauseous.

I struggle to imagine a scenario where he is appointed and I take my seat at Goodison and am not filled with rage seeing him on our bench

If not sooner, lets say after the November Derby!!!!

That will be a roll over and have his belly tickled by Klopp day.

 

[Thomasc]

Can’t bring myself to watch that.
feel physically sick as it is just looking at his grid.

Logs on.....

Hundreds of fresh pages.....

Root cause? A gobby host of a second rate COMMERCIAL radio station who also has links to Sky, and therefore Sky Bet. (thanks for the free money lads!)

Banking on the fact he knows Moshiri to give his claims substance.

"But look at the odds!“

If odds are your barometer then you clearly have no idea how the bookie always wins. (if you want to use odds as a reference, the shortest price on Koeman up until the day before he was confirmed was 20-1)

I have no doubt Benitez has been discussed, maybe even interviewed.

I have no doubt that of all the candidates he is the one that wants it to most.

Everybody just needs to calm down.

It is very VERY unlikely to be Benitez.

He’s had three separate conversations with the club according to the BBC, who don’t tend to post front page stories like the one they have without a decent amount of info.

Think you’re dead wrong on this.

Of all the managers in the whole world it appears and it is being widely reported by everyone that Everton have turned to Rafael Benitez. It is clear the board are disconnected from the fanbase in even thinking this would be a good idea.

Rafael is an OAP looking for a final payday in China but now is thinking his final payday could be closer to home. He is finished, a football dinosaur in the mould of Ancelotti and Mourinho, defensive turgid football. I remember watching a Newcastle game and they set up with 6 defenders on the edge of their own 6 yard box. I find it ironic that some on here advocate Rafael but sneer at Mourinho.....

IF Rafael is appointed Farhad and his mob need launching out of the club. They are as bad as the ESL owners despite their virtue signalling letter for the good of football they are absolute hypocrits that do not dont care about the views of their own fans.

I could give a crap about how strangers on the internet perceive me you utter weirdo.

think you left the word 'not' out there you Rafael loving freak

 

[blue to the bone]

You don’t hire managers based on what the fans think.

Otherwise we’d have Ferguson managing us and would be bottom by Christmas.

No we wouldn't have him . A look at the poll here will tell you he isn't that popular

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

think you left the word 'not' out there you Rafael loving freak

If you seriously think that I love Benitez then you need professional help.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

IF Rafael is appointed Farhad and his mob need launching out of the club.

Good luck with that

 

[blue to the bone]

He has stated he went to China as there were no top jobs available and he wanted to keep his coaching staff in work as they have families to feed.

Can I ask you again.
Why did you not post on here since December 2019 ?

Happy Rafael Day

 

[blue to the bone]

You can delude yourself all you want but if we're seriously chasing Benitez then its because there's nobody better available. I trust professionals who run the club over angry supporters on the internet who can't let go of a grudge from over a decade ago.

The same professionals who appointed silva and allardyce?

 

[Papa Shango]

Looking at it is different way it smacks of an owner making a decision based on risk.

I think he’s seen Koeman practically destroy the club getting us into a relegation battle, then Silva showing how easily we could slip back into it. Last season was probably a wake up call, one of the best managers ever (on paper) and we finished tenth.

The priority for Moshiri has to be that we stay in the premier league for the new stadium. He cannot afford to give this job to the likes of Potter. Look at the players ffs, they’ll down tools on any manager and throw us back into trouble in a second. People keep saying that with a bit of management they can be better but they’ve shown under different managers that the same old suspects are complete and utter rubbish and sadly they’re the spine of the team Keane Coleman Davies Siggurdson Gomes.

From my point of view he’s gone for a manager that he thinks will guarantee we stay in the league regardless of what the fans think. That’s probably why Moyes and Nuno were in the running also.

The fan base wants a manager that will take these crap players and have us playing attacking football and gatecrashing the top 4.

The board are probably looking for a manager that will keep us in the league as we move to a new stadium, flush out the rubbish from the squad, and try and push for europe.

Looking at a manager who took Newcastle down (not all his fault but he still did) and was rock bottom of the league in his last job that most of the fanbase will hate is a strange way to combat these fears though
