New Everton Manager

[Connor]

To start with, there will be people you know, who haven’t made it through.

Sorry to sound moody, but we will be looking around us for familiar faces first. Hoping they’ve come through this.

The silence / boos will come next.

Didn’t even think about this, Jesus. It’ll be such a weird day that first one back

If you think they're the only managers we could attract I wouldn't bother showing any ambition either

My own theory is after Watford took legal action against us over the Silva affair we've probably been given a slap on the wrist and told to stay away from approaching managers in a job for a while.

Either that or the owners are fed up of paying compo for the likes of Koeman/Silva to only then pay them off 18 months later.

Agreed. And I think for all the twitter virtue signalling and the limited "give him a chance" pockets on here, it will be a different story at the ground. Allardyce is the evidence- we had "up the Bisto Blues" online but the crowd got at him from the off. It's not going to get any better with fervour, ale and cocaine thrown into the mix

This definitely wasn’t true by the way. While there was no red carpet rolled out for him, the atmosphere at the game didn’t actually turn sour for a while in terms of being against him. I think it could get a lot worse with Rafael the butty snatcher.

At the aways? It's completely true
And at the 4-0 West Ham when he turned up with Walsh and Moshiri in the car people were shouting at him on the way in. In fact Moshiri got it too

 

[Bluboyz]

Its not though. Shall we list it?

Make your hatred case because of his past associations, but not on his record which stands up.

You make his case then

 

[Kev The Rat]

Unbelievable that people can sit there from their perch instructing others to back the manager, when we are talking about a man who has cynically and shamelessly successfully lobbied/conned Usmanov/Moshiri just so he can secure himself another cushy number.

the majority can see what Benitez’s real motivations are and add to that his past associations and failures it’s no wonder we are disgusted

 

[MikeH72]

Didn’t really go any aways at that time so I can’t really comment on that specifically. But if all those fans were also going to Goodison then they didn’t make themselves heard.

 

[Bluboyz]

And I'd rather we didn't encourage people to hurl abuse at Everton's new manager on day one. How that is in any way justified or appropriate I do not know.

If you dont know why then there is no point in me or anyone else trying to explain.

Seems daft then to give a poor manager whos already split the fanbase and wont complete 12 months a contract of 3 years at £8m a year

 

[Bluboyz]

For someone who I get the sense is intelligent, that last paragraph astounds me.

Its called free speech. Our fellow blues fought for the right and died in the past. Now you want to come on here and exorcise that right at the same time depriving others the same opportunity. Strange

 

[Death]

Feels like when i click on my kids netflix by accident. I need to get back into my adult GOT.

 

[matty1878]

What's point?
There's a thread at the top of this forum about mental health and you, countless others no doubt, will sling personal abuse at the fella.

what’s mental health got to do with hurling abuse at the fat one? LOL jesus christ lad

 

[Furey1878]

Can we all sack off labouring on the small club comment? It was an inflammatory comment made in the face of drawing to a team that out-arlarsed his team and should have won on the day with Johnson's chances. Lots of managers are sore losers, I do not care. Especially now given we're about 15 years on from that and actually a smaller club.

At the end of the day, if Benitez gets the job, we back him. I actually give him credit for thinking he can handle the job with his connections not only to them but the city.

If this fails, make no mistake all of our ire should be focused firmly on the board.

Just out of interest...who would be your choice for manager...in an ideal world

meltdown of the century and he’s not even here LOL
