New Everton Manager

[cronullasharks]

At Inter he asked for certain players and was turned down. They had an old squad full of prima Donna's which needed a reboot. If I remember correctly they were 6th when he was sacked with 1 or 2 games in hand. Interestingly enough until this season, they hadn't won anything. Which actually proved Rafael right.

He didn't play crap football at Madrid
That's honestly bullshit. I've already explained that politics got in the way and he was told who he should and shouldn't play.

He didn't get Newcastle relegated, we've been over this, he actually had them 9th in the form table for the amount of games he had to save them. If he had a full season they wouldn't have gone down. I've already said that Villa spent 20 mil more than Newcastle did in the championship. Newcastle also had to sell the vast majority of their best players.

In China he wasn't expected to win anything, he was expected to survive and keep his team in the premier league which he did. His job was lay the foundations for the future. Even now he is a club ambassador and is overseeing their progress for a self sustainable model to coach the next generation of players in China. Rafael sent over 20 coaches there to bring through the youth.

Reported for swearing

And there was me thinking that he's a bumbling idiot.

He's a genius . He's got all sorts of qualifications in the classics , he was a comic god on HIGNFY and he gets all sorts of women to sleep with him even though he looks like Eton Schools resident tramp .
Still loathe the absolute bell .

the point is, there are no excellent candidates out there at the moment, which is one of the reasons I am happy to go with Benitez. I don't want Nuno, and whilst I think Potter may be good, in a choice between him and RB I would go with Rafael.

Top 5 list please

what time did the kopite media and the supposed itks say we should expect the FSW announcement?

I'm going for 8 to try and bury it during the Euros.

What's your fascination with Benitez and his career ?
Genuinely worried for you.

They had quite literally just won the league, cup and Champions League treble about six months before he was sacked. You could equally argue that he was responsible for the spiral they went into

Why let facts get in the way of an agenda

 

[banno]

1. Lampard
2. Gailter
3. Nuno
4. Rafael
5. Potter

of the names bandied about. Haven't heard anything about Lampard TBH

TBH Mancini would be my optimal pick but do not think we have a chance

At Chelsea, he remains on good terms with Roman and FYI Roman did actually want to give him a 2 year extension, but didn't due to fan pressure. So went back to old fan favourite Mourinho.

Why don't you answer any of the questions you've been asked about your extensive knowledge/obsession with Benitez?

What's your agenda?

 

[Papa Shango]

He’s the owner so it should have been where the striker replacement? And even a year later they hadn’t replaced him

That would be a bad owner for me. Sticking his nose in on the managers business, never ends well that.

Of course the fact that the manager he showed faith in was a bit crap causes other issues. Owners should stay well away from what happens on the pitch.

 

[ToffeeTim]

1. Lampard
2. Gailter
3. Nuno
4. Rafael
5. Potter

I think Lampard would be a good choice, although I learned very quickly that I am very much in the minority on that lol

5. Potter

It's interesting that Lampard hasn't been mentioned at all really..you would think he's waiting for a job like this. I'd be interested depending on how he interviewed

 

[Kev50]

Top 5 list please

I dont have 5. of the people available it's a desert that's the point, that's why Madrid went back for Carlo and Barca are stuck with asshead. Pocchettino is v good, but he's never coming here in a million years ditto any other top manager.
