New Everton Manager

[Noble Savage]

Is there another case in world football where a manager joined a fierce rival's team and it went well despite fan's outrage ? Or the opposite where it went worse than they thought ?

A lot’s been made of Benitez recently guiding Chelsea to a major trophy, namely the Europa League. Chelsea are a major force, though. Is it really that big an achievement to win a European trophy with Chelsea?

What impressed me were those two La Liga titles that he won with an under funded and un-fancied Valencia side.

LOL

George Graham at spuds?

I'm willing to give him a chance. I really don't care if he managed them. Let's face it no one we could get is more qualified to get results out of the lousy slow footie that our club plays than Rafael.

I've supported this club when we had Big Sam, Sammy Lee and Koenman. I've supported this club when we had Scheinderfraud. I've supported this club every time Siggy pulled out of a 50/50 challenge. In comparison this is really nothing to get all worked up about.

Fair play.

Anyway...agree with what Big Nev has to say:

Spot on Nev
We have 6 decent fixtures
It would be toxic

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Strong opinion.

Isn’t that nob a kopite?

What will happen when we sign 2/3 new first teamers, sell James, and actually improve as a team?
When we've just had the 'most decorated' manager in our history, who served up dogdirt for most of his tenure then ran away at the 1st opportunity to be replaced by Rafael Benitez Maudes (i'm scared to use his name like we did with Carlo/Dunc before as some will wet their pants).
And a selection of our fans, based on most of the comments on here, will want the team to struggle just to get at the manager.
I didnt and still dont want him to be our manager, but ill be 100% behind the team as long as he is here and would love him to be successful.

How do we think Benetiz and Big Dunc are going to get on...?

I remember the outrage intially as I wasn't living far from London but we didn't have the webz so all I remember are the tabloids . Well the Mirror and Star anyway .
Didn't they win the League Cup or The F.A cup ?

This appointment doesn't annoy me as much as when Allardyce got the job. At least Benitez has won things and can attack if he has the right players. Allardyce has never won anything and is a specialist in dire football.

No he's a blue

Well I know how I hope it would go.

They're both quite passionate so I would think they'll get on ok

I always thought he was a blue, may well be wrong tho.

Just a nob then.
