You're probably going to end up with both on the management team!
Exactly. I wonder what people's reaction would be to Benitez not wanting Ferguson on his staff but imagine that isn't likely at all.
He will be more likely to be conciliatory than any other manager, and generally those in the recent past haven't attempted a shake-up at all.
That's the most curious thing for me about the would-be appointment.
I understand it on a football level, but if they were wanting someone to give the squad and football club a bit of a shake-up in attitude and approach, particularly at an obviously homely, family club like ours, then it's hard to see an ex-Liverpool manager with those comments attached being the one to do it.
He would have to be here years in my opinion to feel confident and emboldened enough to take on the attitude problem that exists here.
I could be wrong, as the outsider of outsiders he may feel in an ideal position to ruffle feathers, and maybe that is Moshiri / Usmanovs thinking, but I just don't see it.
If he stays long enough to get his feet under the desk, I think he is more likely than not to be smothered by the establishment at Everton, which isn't good for us. If he gets the job here, he'll want to stay a while at least.
