New Everton Manager

Can David Moyes have really been the first choice as per that Joyce article????

Did you see who he was up against?

TBF, you dont give any Everton manager backing.

Wrong, I give deserved candidates my backing.

Like Carlo. But he was hounded by ungrateful mob and now they will live their fantasies out in a fat slug, kopite world

I forgot to claim credit for this.

New Everton Manager

In hindsight I think the Ancelotti hire hasn't helped us when it comes to this hire. Expectations are through the roof and potentially decent (I'm not talking about Rafael) candidates are being viewed as not good enough. At the time we appointed Silva he had something like 80-90% approval among...

You have to take what Joyce says with a massive pinch of salt as the bloke has pretty much slated us/the board ever since he no longer was given exclusives.

Wasn’t “Joyce” Lord Haw Haw’s real surname?

Listening to so called evertonians referring to this Jaba the Hut looking mofo as Rafael is utterly sickening

He definitely wasn’t hounded like, he got more of a free pass than any manager we’ve ever had.

If kenwright has any say moyes will always be in contention for the vacancy now and in the future

The tides were turning Mike, the social media outrage was growing.

But they got what they wanted, and now they can enjoy “him”

Sometimes I give up with this club and then I see people making posts about sandwiches and realize it's all worth while.

Just wait till Rafael wins the first 6 games(and all ARE winnable....)

Interesting lack of the word Everton there.

If you was RB and seeing all the fans against your appointment would you still want the job? Would you still want to put yourself through that with you and your family living so close to the area?

AND why are the board continuing with this? Anyone and everyone have told them it is devisive and would be a mistake..........

I'm broadly with you but if we're taking an Abramovich approach to managers (we have had 6 in five years if you count Dunc compared with 24 in the prior 125 years) then there has to be continual improvement or we're just bleeding money. I'm all for a rebuild, I'd just prefer it to be with a young, modern manager who is prepared to bring through younger more dynamic players (which is exactly what Brands said he wanted to do), I just don't trust Benitez to do it. I'm not sure he's done it anywhere, people talk about Valencia but Cuper had some cracking players in the squad he handed over.

That Abramovich approach works when you have world class talent. We barely have a squad of average players so no idea what we're doing.

And ideally if you're playing Chairman Manager, you'd bring in the younger forward thinking manager, gets backed (Brands does his job) and he's given 3 years to build a team/style. That means keeping with the manager through poor league positions and rocky periods.

But said manager has to be sold to cope and deliver a different agenda. The focus would be on building and not league positions/trophies. The dream would be to do both but then you're looking for a unicorn of a manager or keeping the faith with them for Moyes-like time frame.

Mosh has invested too much to look back and press the restart IMO. He'll want safer hands, someone with credentials, stature, and able to cope in the prem.

If it is Rafael I am very interested in what his ideas and goals are. If he says consistency or foundations to compete, I'll show an interest. If he rolls out the "top 6 champions league" guff then he's doomed to fail.

I can think of a few million reasons Benitez might be interested

It starts and ends with the millions a year he will earn, guaranteed under contract even if sacked.
