New Everton Manager

[Daytripper]

Poor Nuno… yeah I got the Palace job… no nope I havnt
Yeah I got the Everton job… no I havnt

Mum it happened again

It must be that beard, who knows what kind of crap is breeding in it.

he meant small team guys

i mean pienaar was like 5ft 2, cahill and arteta were hardly giants

he may have had a point

Pienaar was a full 2" taller than Bernard. He really is a little'un

Would prefer Potter to Nuno and Nuno to Benitez… is Potter off the table?

i just don’t see Nuno and Brands playing well together.. maybe I’m wrong

Mosh might just have a rabbit in the hat as he did with Carlo..

Has anybody brought Fonseca's name up again? Because it seems like Spurs have screwed him over at the last minute so they can get Gattuso instead.

me but just reading his defensive record was a shambles at Roma. So uhhhmmm

 

[Theoneandonly]

I don't think he makes that decision without the other two thinking it's a good idea.

All 3 of them want Rafael. Especially Brands.

I know @Connor would love to see Paulo and also I would not object, but at the moment I am just gleefully watching Spurs ineptitude before returning to watching Everton's ineptitude.

That sounds like something from starbucks.
I heard a fella on the radio earlier. Think it may have been dean ashton, saying the only team he switched the tv off or over when on was Rafael at newcastle. He as an ex player doesnt think he has any pull for players anymore.
The chelsea side with the UEFA cup played itself. That might be a bit harsh but he inherited a champions league squad for 6 months.

Like I said previously Benitez is not the man for the job. For obvious reasons.

But he won those trophies. In the same way Tuchel deserves credit for CL this season, or Hansi Flick deserved credit for taking over a very talented Bayern team mid-season and winning a treble.

I also don’t get the style of football argument. He’s a pragmatic manager who sets up his team to have a strong defensive shape. It’s that approach that brought him success and at times in his career has meant he could build teams that were greater than the sum of their parts.

Rafael Benitez ticks a number of boxes for what is required in the new manager. Don’t agree with the mental gymnastics to down play this. He’s still not the right man for the job because he won’t get backing from the fans. Not just that it’ll be a divisive and counter productive appointment.

Seems like us, Spurs and Palace are all making a complete digs dinner of this.

Can see it being Nuno and him being booted by October because we clearly aren’t convinced by him.

It’s 2am in Popworld and they’re scrambling for whatever they can get.

I think we will end up with someone we haven't even been linked with yet...

 

[MrGrumpy]

Or is he ....

He signed a 3 year deal at West Ham he’s out

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

again, have you got a source for that please.

Check out the fella's posting history. Interesting reading.
