New Everton Manager

[PhilM]

Debatable on his last 7 or 8 years. But it's done now

Like I mentioned a few posts above and a fair few times before, his recent form is a concern. Yet, in the pure sense of pedigree, he's better than the others.

You also have to consider what the other three have achieved in recent years compared to Rafael. I'm not advocating his appointment by the way.

Rather, I am trying to look at it objectively and with a glass half full mentality, which means I perhaps don't think it's as bad as some others are suggesting.

This isn't a Mark Hughes or Fat Sam level of appointment.

As I've said all week we could have appointed Pep Guardiola and he wouldn't do much with some of these players.

Forget the manager we need to sign and sell players ASAP

This is a more pressing concerns, we need improvements on the playing side otherwise any manager is going to struggle.

Imagine going from Carlo to Benitez, absolutely in bits here.

let’s stay at goodison till it falls down

i'm not sure the only choices are 'spend half a billion, or don't spend anything'

Even if it wasn’t Benitez the football we will serve up next season is set it be atrocious whoever comes in. The squad is just to poor. I think as a fan base we have to come to terms with that first and foremost. Unless we plan on a massive overhaul which is extremely unlikely.

If we win more as fans we won't care about his past but seems like a strange appointment as a few bad results and fans will be calling for his head. How can the people running our club be so bad at their jobs collectively.

Besides Ancelotti, we have always called for the manager's head after a few bad results. Rafael will be no different and he will have a spell of defeats no doubt.

the Sweep I remembered from childhood would have the courage of his convictions, and play 'Welcome Rafael' on his little bugle (cos of course he couldn't speak)

oh so we can have benitez then? get a grip

putting up with FSW for a new stadium seems like a good deal to me.

 

[riddick]

They are building you a shiny new £500+ million stadium on the docks and have invested more money than most owners in the league without the benefit of CL revenue to keep the taps on.

Our fanbase have become so spoilt in recent years imo not Usmanov/Moshiri's fault the likes of Walsh/Brands pished money up the wall like drunken sailors on trash like Iwobi, Gomes, Siggurdsson, Delph, Toshun, Bolasie, Klaassan the list goes on.

Yeah, we've definitely been "spoiled" by our overachieving finishes averaging 10th and our amazing transfers of Iwobi Sigurdsson Gomes et al? Really bizarre logic there. We've been let down time and time again and this is the club ACTIVELY making an appointment that a huge % of the fanbase simply will not accept. It's genuine madness.

 

[Daniel Gardner]

I'm still clinging to the hope this doesn't happen. I know it makes me a bad 'fan' but I seriously hope we lose as many games in a row as it takes to get him sacked (hoping it will only take 1 like).

Actually fuming.

To some extent, you could have said the same about Carlo. My point is that there's a spectrum to this rather than the simple yes or no - rubbish or great.

So if I give you £2000 and you go burn it/spend it on rubbish thats my fault?

Not having that mate.

As I said very short memories some have. If the money had been spent correctly we wouldnt be sat having this conversation thats down to Walsh/Brands.
