…I suspect we’re a different club now, different from the one we all grew up with.

As a manager, I expect Benitez to be fine but we have sold our values and self-respect.

Indeed.

Depends who was available mate for me as I maintain I dont think their was anyone else better than him available.

People dont become billionaires by not doing business with someone who called them a nasty name 15 years ago! If Benitez is the man they think can get the best tune out of this squad then I'll judge him ultimately on the results as we all should do.

He certainly ticks some boxes:

Plays compact like Ancelotti so wont need massive amounts of money like someone like Potter would to completely rip things up

Is a hard worker by all accounts (Toffee TV said he used to get the 7am train every day to Newcastle whilst managing them and stayed til late in the evening.

Is tough and wont take crap from some of our shirkers in the squad

Has balls of steel and wont wilt under fan pressure like Silva/Martinez did.

I'm not thrilled with Benitez , but at least he seems like a disciplinarian and stickler about slacking which is the complete antithesis to Carlo's lax approach. Still would rather anyone else though

The way it has been put into the news shows how much contempt they have for us.

They'll keep doing the EITC work, which is part of those values. There's no sentiment from the likes of Kenwright now, though. Moshiri wants safe and wants results, and it doesn't matter what fans think of the hire.

You think you’ve experienced lows as an Evertonian, just wait until them nobheads start singing his song after they slot a 3rd in the derby

…I actually wonder if this is a political appointment. A demonstration from Moshiri to Kenwright that his era of romantic Everton is over.

I'm willing to give him a chance mate. The way some go on you would think we were appointing Ched Evans or Jimmy Saville.

And he'll turn round and clap the scruffy rs bellends whilst they do it

 

[Davidoff]

Moshiri out!
