New Everton Manager

[Tubey]

I don't think Benitez is in Moshiri's MO.

Moshiri looks to appease fans at every turn, almost too much.

I can't see him wanting Benitez. I don't think he has the bottle for it.

If it's Benitez, I'm convinced it'll be Brands. Brands has gone for the likes of Jol/Advocaat at previous clubs. Also wanted Van Gaal.

Just a guess but as I've said before, we know Moshiri wanted Nuno Santo to replace Koeman but got told no - this was before Brands was here;

I think Brands has pushed to talk to Benitez, and he's done very well at interview. You don't get the gigs he's had, without knowing football politics.

I think Benitez' team, who at every turn and within hours of Ancelotti leaving, have played a few outlets who love clicks and attention as puppets.

Moshiri sees the name though. He's thinking 'big name manager' I think, and has no appreciation of the depth of feeling.

I don't think Brands has any say whatsoever, as amazing as that is given his supposed role.

If Benitez does come, it's a Moshiri call all day long IMO.

Surely Allardyce is a big contradiction to this?

It's like even if he was successful I couldn't enjoy it....its not just his associations or what he said it's what he represents and that he isn't what we need it's another sign that Moshiri has his finger prints all over this club and it's why we are going nowhere fast!

 

[Dixieslaces]

Im sure its been said on here before but after all the time passed since Moyes left we are still pretty much talking about the same "list" of managers being punted then! Its incredible really, has football really not developed other managers in that period?

baffling!

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Told you this earlier in the week. Brands is off.

Don’t blame him.

 

[MartSlinger]

Id much rather Favre than Benitez or even Nuno for that matter - however, i still have my doubts mainly due to his age (63) and whether he has the hunger and drive we need.

However, he's got pedigree in more recent times, something Nuno and Rafael dont have. Getting Gladbach and Nice into the Champions League is some doing, all while playing good togger too.

If not Potter, then Favre is sound with me.

Surely Allardyce is a big contradiction to this?

Was always interim/last resort - we sacked Koeman expecting to be able to get Silva. We couldn't - it went on and on - we knew Silva had a clause at the end of the season.

Allardyce was always interim, and on the instruction of his DOF Steve Walsh.

Gattuso just left Fiorentina after like a month.

Let't take him. At least he's cool.

Was a horrible shithouse on the pitch as well, much like Simeone. I’m in!

I think it's probably unrealistic to think the next manager will be chosen by anyone but Moshiri. The man who controls the business will call the shots. Football is no different.

I'm not saying I agree, because his footballing decisions are generally extremely poor. But I find it hard to believe he won't be the one making the final decision. Benitez feels to me entirely like a Moshiri option. He looks for the name rather than the right fit.

For someone who is supposed to be nailed on for the job 2/9 is being offered as of now which does not look like it is nailed on to me....there is hope

Latest summary from the Everton managerial circus.

1. Nuno, his crap beard and his 40 thieves have been told to do one as Dunc must stay!

2. Mosh and Uz want Benitez

3. Kenwright wants Martinez and is leaking reports to his media buddies about Benitez to stir up the faithful.

4. No-one on the board gives a flying one about who Brands wants.

5. DBB is on tea duty

It’s all a bit silly

A couple more things about Benitez at the RS.

His record in the transfer market was largely miserable. He bought in tonnes of players and paid absolute fortunes for them but very few were actual successes.

His biggest sporting achievement, the 2005 Champions League owed far more to the RS' deal with the devil than anything he did. They fluked the group stages, virtually every knock out round including the ridiculous ghost goal against Chelsea and of course they got utterly thrashed, embarrassed and humiliated for all but six minutes of the final. He basically did what Roberto Di Matteo did in 2012, but no one considers Di Matteo's fluke as anything other than a fluke and that's why no one hires him anymore.

His best achievements for me are the league titles at Valencia which were so long ago that he'd have some cheek actually including them on his CV.

He is not a good manager, and hasn't been for a while. I don't care about what he said about Everton, he was Liverpool manager at the time and it wasn't in his job description to be nice to us. If we were to have appointed him in 2007 it's actually something I could have got behind then, but in 2021?! He has failed miserably at Inter, Real Madrid, has been outperformed by Steve Bruce at Newcastle and did absolutely nothing in China of all places.

Lucien Favre, Rudi Garcia, Ernesto Valverde...we have options and don't need to go down this route. Benitez won't be afforded the same standards as any other manager, making it an almost impossible job. Why on earth would we employ a manager where every loss will be treated like doomsday?

Was 1/12 yesterday so something's happened

Good point; I always memory hole Steve Walsh, I don't like to think about the fact that we handed over the reins to someone with zero experience of the role...

Not sure if this ever came out but have it good authority that we went in for Vardy in that summer he was being bandied about to Arsenal, and Leicester asked for 40m; Walsh wouldn't pay it. Calvert-Lewins made that look like a fine decision eventually I suppose, but you do have to wonder how things would've been different

I think if he was looking to appease he'd have gone out and acquired Galtier.
