New Everton Manager

[Shibbywiggles]

Reckon it will be the most challenging reveal video we have done

Just trying to fit him into frame is challenge enough

 

[Papa Shango]

Think thats a bit harsh. Was an underappreciated footballer Crouch. Probably exactly the type that the top clubs need to have in their squad, perhaps not starting regularly but apart from the obvious height advantage, he was good with his feet too.

I wouldn't put him as a bad signing for Benitez as he was a good player. The rest of that list though....

Yeah I am OK with that.

Either way he was not some previously unknown player that Benitez discovered or anything.

I’m morbidly curious.

This is the only reason I can see for the delay. Surely Benitez would already have been appointed. Problem is, we're 18 months from a world cup, only manager likely to leave his post is Joachim Loew, and I'm not convinced he is the right fit either.

Or one that is sacked for being rubbish. Loew no chance we want him

Reckon it will be one of them pixelated videos not to reveal the suspect

Who are we revealing?

 

[Cary Hattrick]

A source at the club has hinted that the Euros have prevented or delayed negotiations for a certain appointment. It is probably Martinez, which will cause another furore.

Could it be Loew, I think we were linked before the Koeman appointment?
Better a ball sniffer than a FSW

Who are we revealing?

Benitez if he is the chosen one

Benitez if he is the chosen one

Do they do reveals for new canteen staff?

Something like this but in blue.

What about Torres? Surely if Crouch is indiciative then Torres is too?

I think the over-arching point I was making mate was to dispute that 'Rafael has a good eye for talent' when you consider the sheer volume of duds he signed. Torres was a big talent before going to Liverpool, wasn't exactly plucking a player from the unknown. He's had more misses than hits.

 

[jazzy]

It's Moshiri's club now.

Actually I suspect it might be Usmanov's

 

[blueboy1945]

He gets less slack because of his past.

It's probably unfair but it is what it is.

I agree, but I really would like us to have a period of 2/3 years of steady progress under the next manager. If it is Benitez I will, grudgingly, accept him if he can improve on last seasons position, and the following season (I know, I know) get us into Europe.
He must be absolutely desperate to get back into top flight football to take on what is, for him, a poisoned chalice, so he must feel he has the ability to succeed. I can only hope his optimism isn't misplaced.

 

[PhilM]

when? the longer it goes on the longer it makes sense he’s locked up in a basement in mexico somewere and it’s not.

It will happen, sadly; happily vault me if it doesn't.

Just to name a few of his inspired signings for Newcastle and Liverpool.

Are you really for real. Peter Crouch and Momo Sissoko were very very good signings. Jonjo Shelvey was signed as a 16 year old and is an England International with hundreds of games played in the premier league.

How about use a bit of context with these signings. Murphy and Hanley were brought in for the championship only. A lot of these players were brought in to be backup players like Voronin and Cavalieri. A lot of these players were brought in as standout youngsters such as Paletta, Leto, Insua etc. You don't always strike gold with young players. For every Suso or sterling you're going to get 10 average young players. Players like Muto and Joselu were 5th choice players.
