New Everton Manager

[Connor]

Wine for my men, do one knobhead.

It's not very creative but it does the job.

Thinking of copying this, but maybe with Roberto in place of Jose

Nonsense that mate - if you are sat in the away end at Anfield after beating Liverpool in the derby or at Wembley winning a cup final and your first thought is "doesn't feel right this the manager is an ex red" then you may as well give up on football as the whole point is winning things/beating your local rivals.

City didnt seem arsed signing Tevez from Utd for example, Bruce managed Sunderland now manages Newcastle etc football is a job these days thats the reality, gone are the days of managers lasting 10+ years at one club or local lads being loyal.

Its why i support Everton FC and not the manager/players - people moan at me when I call DCL bambi or I questioned Ancelotti's tinkering/results yet why should I give 100% support to them when they will bugger off at the first flash of ankle (as we've seen with Carlo).

Bruce is not accepted at Newcastle because he managed Sunderland! Same as Graham, McLeish, Redknapp etc. Players are not the same as managers.

I did not once say it would be the first thought. The next day it will be all "ah you only did it with a red in charge" in a really phony scouse accent of course.

Benitez is not this magical key to beating Liverpool either. None of this will happen anyway.

Again though none of this matters one iota. If the fans are not having him then the fans are not having him.

Oh and people moan about you regarding DCL because it's an incredibly daft opinion. No other reason!

The media reporting of both Rafael and Nuno has been a bit odd. In both cases, we've had a pretty emphatic report that they're about to sign, then nothing.

Bill turning to Moshiri after every interview and saying “What a manager” lol

It’s just chaos really. What is the strategy?

….I can only guess that the strategy is not to have any more managerial turmoil whilst the ground is being developed. Moshiri wants the team nice and safe and if that means European qualification and decent runs in the cup, then all the better.

He won’t want risk, he won’t be wanting to go through this process every 18months. I think he’ll be wary of a bright young progressive type who wants to build a new team.

 

[Bluewolf]

remind me, who did they beat to win the super cup?

I honestly don't know and the reason why I dont know is the reason why I dont even know who was in the charity sheild last year because its a glorified friendly that means nothing.

 

[Jacob]

Anyone thought of any good anti-Benitez flags/signs to take to the Southampton game?

The way this is dragging out, it'll be the bleedin' away game.

 

[Ammo cat chi]

What happened with Pirlo? Is that a no go?

 

[gazzaa2]

remember the side he put out there got smashed for the first 45 minutes, it was only their luck that got them out of it

Left Hamann on the bench.

 

[catcherintherye]

My own opinion is I think if we appoint Benitez Moshiri has reflected on the last 5 or so years and realised that he got shut of Alladyce too quickly due to fan pressure when in reality Alladyce did a better job based on the squad he had to work with than all of Martinez, Silva, Koeman and Ancelotti.

He's probably reached the point where he's thought "im the bloke spending the dough and every manager ive appointed to keep you happy has failed costing me millions so we are getting someone in who I think will steady the ship whilst BMD gets built".

I still think its paper talk and a left field appointment could very well happen.

Yes probably fair. He's also probably felt it was going on with Ancelotti, so why move too far from that MO. Get an experienced manager in who has a knowledge of setting teams up well tactically.

Now how far we would all agree things went well under Ancelotti, and how sustainable it is for the club to continue along that vein are interesting questions. But that would seem to be the thinking.

Everton’s strategy of becoming interested in anyone Palace approach doesn’t appear to be working

Although......... “Palace linked with Eddie Howe” It’s crazy but it might just work.lol

 

[trueblue84]

It's as if its not actually that close.

I don't believe the club are leaking things to gauge fans' reaction to certain names, but I think they might leak stuff so fans think something is happening. It's been 2 weeks after all.

Fingers were burnt with Silva but I think Simon Jordan was spot on when he said Silva never had the credentials to manage Everton. Get the right person in and there’s a huge upside.

 

[ToffeeMonster]

Either Moshiri has bigger plans that we can't see or he is an absolute clueless bellend.

 

[jamieni]

Fonseca anyone? lol

 

[Connor]

Winning the Europa League and finishing 3rd with Chelsea, despite enormous pressure from the fans who were on his back every week.

Winning the Coppa Italia and the SuperCoppa Italiana for the first time in 24 years with Napoli, going further in Europe than any of his predecessors for 25 years, no one has still got further than Rafael in Europe for Napoli. Created an immense squad and built the foundations which they are still benefiting from today.

Made Newcastle an established Premier league side. Won the championship etc etc

Who let Guillem Balague onto GOT

Chatting absolute nonsense
