New Everton Manager

[mightymoyes]

If they give him a 3 year contract then it just adds to the absolute madness.
Another guy walking away with fistfuls of Moshiri’s money falling out of his pockets when it goes bent.

his contract should all be incentive based but moshiri seems to like throwing his money away

I may be wrong but reading the posts many of those most strongly opposed seem to be American supporters or else maybe the American expressions are taking over GOT in a kind of americanism pandemic.

You are right. You are wrong...

Moshiri is no longer in control mate.

Both Ancelotti and Benitez are Usmanov appointments.

I, for one, bow down to our Uzbek overlord.

Moshiri is about to commit the biggest error in the history of Everton Football Club.

Bigger than selling Alan Ball.
Bigger than taking Mike Walker
Bigger than Distin in the FA Cup semi final.
Bigger than signing Funes Mori instead of VVD ( lol)

He is an intelligent man , but I've worked with many very intelligent people who had no empathy , understanding or emotional intelligence.

I hope to God he has thought this through and been advised because I suspect he has no idea what is going to happen when it inevitably goes wrong.

I agree with much of that mate, but respectfully disagree about Ball!!!!

I haven't been the biggest advocate of brands , but its completely daft to acquire someone to handle football matters and then undermine their influence determining the direction of the club. Just reeks of hubris from the top and it continues to detrimental to any potential progress for this club.

….seems like we’ve been here before, but the odds have considerably shortened on Benitez following this mornings reports.

All ive ever seen him being is insecure mate, hes wilted on fanbase view of Martinez, Koeman, Allardyce and Silva - costing us 10s of millions in the process. Its no way to run a football club. If he sticks by his previous behavior Rafael will be gone in a year. I actually think appointing him is a surprise and a change of behavior there is nothing in the owners historical behavior that suggests he wont cave into the popular opinion on Rafael once its done. Makes the whole thing just illogical to my mind. Unless he is saying to himself Rafael is my man regardless, of what fans think, that would be change. I just haven't seen that in his decision making as yet - so the whole thing look lunacy from the outset and another big 10 mill in sacking compo waiting to happen.

The one positive I've seen from this is that he (or Usmanov) have at least understood that the entire culture of the club needs to change - I don't agree at all that Benitez is the man to do it, but they need to have someone come in and crank up the snide because we've been a soft touch for way too many years (except, in glimpses, last season).

the prophets of doom all speaking with such confidence of how awful the football is going to be. If you didn't know his record, you'd never believe we are getting one of the most successful managers in the modern game. And signed some of the best players in the world, Torres Mascherano Alonso Bellamy. He is not the clapped out old duffer being described. He's had a hugely successful career. I wouldn't mind if there were other successful candidates waiting in the wings. But there is nobody. We will be lucky to get him, because make no mistake the club is in deep trouble. The players are all at daggers drawn with each other, we finished the season the worst team in the division. If we don't have a strong character we could well go down next year.

Surely there is a hint of sarcasm in this post?

Nope read it couple of times now an yep means every word.

I don't agree Dave.
The crowds will return to Goodison when they are allowed.
There won't be protests on any significant level.
Supporters will generally be unhappy about his appointment but will go to the game and support the team..... for an initial period at least .

I may be wrong but reading the posts many of those most strongly opposed seem to be American supporters or else maybe the American expressions are taking over GOT in a kind of americanism pandemic.

Benitez, unlike other new managers, will not have a period of grace from supporters and if initial results are poor then it will get nastier for him far quicker than for any other new manager but if he does make some good signings and gets some decent early results then it will be interesting to see the reaction to him here in a few weeks.


Maybe I am wrong.... time will tell.... if he is appointed, which I think is likely.

I explained that you were wrong about the American thing the other day. Strange that you’ve still not grasped it.

Bravo !!!!

Rafael doesn't break contract to join other clubs. Never has.

Still pushing your Fat man fetish.

LONG LIVE USMANOV

 

[RomanReigns]

Alisher Usmanov sought the advice of Roman Abramovich about dealing with Rafael Benitez ahead of Everton deal​

 

[jazzy]

Bravo !!!!

Merci - I can never remember if its that or chacun le sien .......think it pretty much amounts to the same thing.
Years since I spoke French properly.
