shocking
 
Very much in agreement.

You have to bear in mind as well, a lot of older fans don't use twitter and to a degree these forums (though this forum is certainly a better barometer than twitter for a broader swathe).

I think of my dad and he still consumes football the way he's always done, and really doesn't spend copious amounts of time looking through the internet and youtube for other teams and other managers. He will watch Sky sports news, Football focus, have a read of the Mirror (and previously the Echo when he lived up that way) and get his info that way. Probably still looks at the club website.

He was quite in favour of Nuno. He knows who he is, is aware of him and within his paradigm that is being quite "exotic" for his tastes. That's how he will do it, he will look at managers in the PL, maybe Scotland and make a call.

I don't know how this demographic will view Benitez, probably really badly but they will know him. He didn't know any of the names I put to him, but then probably 20 years ago, before the internet and the like I wouldn't have either.

sounds a lot better tbh

I think there's a broader philosophical point in this really, which is has the 24/7 all encompassing football info made us any happier? Maybe people actually quite like having gatekeepers to filter their info? My mum and dad are a small sample size, but they always seem to be a bit more balanced when it comes to Everton related matters.
 
i am chilled out about it, but i do think out of all of the things to bash him about, where he lives is ridiculous.
I think it’s a legitimate concern to be honest. We have no way of knowing what’s going in the boardroom so we go off reports. Many of the reports mention that he would like the job because he lives locally. Obviously they might not be true, but what else have we got to go on? There’s definitely a bit of a ‘marriage of convenience’ vibe to the whole thing, with him being out of work and available, being able to stay at home with his family etc and because of his previous connections and comments I think it’s understandable that people might wonder just how much he would really be into the project. Of course he might prove people wrong, but it’s a valid concern I think.
