New Everton Manager

[royalblue66]

Alan Myers reckons announcement tomorrow.

Imagine the scenes.....Rafael does great for 2 seasons. A trophy and maybe qualify for the CL. Then Klopp leaves the RS and Rafael defects. I can honestly see this scenario (theoretical b/c we ain't getting a trophy or the CL)

To me it's a simple matter of respect and a clear extension of an olive branch

Benitez apologising for the comment would be a moment of contrition that showed he was committed to trying and establish a decent relationship with the fan base

I'll say this right now, if he did apologise I would consider the matter closed and I'd tell anyone else who was still bothered by it to let it go

It's nothing more than a show of good faith and an act of courtesy on his part

He should be capable of that

Floodgates now open to constant drivel from carragher & the rest.

 

[larbert toffee]

anyone wanna buy a season card lol

Me Matty but don't believe for one minute you'd give it up, you're too much of a blue.

 

[Azza]

Oh look it's the fans fault once again.

• When it comes to preventing injuries, Paco de Miguel has a very simple theory. "The closer a player is to peak physical fitness, the higher risk of injury there is". That is why Benítez's right-hand man prefers to have his players at around 85% of their peak fitness levels.

No danger of that here, Paco.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

The fitter you are, the less prone you are

He already has. His reasoning for the comment was fine.

That said, despite being pretty fine with this, it still amazes me it's actually happening.

The fans are at fault like.

 

[Kev The Rat]

I expect nothing less than for him to get on his knees and apologise for his insults, and then announce his resignation with immediate effect before further apologising for all the distress he has caused the fans with his shameless behaviour.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I don't believe a word of it.

And that's your prerogative, I guess.

Proof enough that he'll be on a hiding to nothing from many here either way.

your scenario forgets about Stevie me

Not necessarily.

OP, shin splints, stress fractures...plenty of injuries come from over-exertion.

I think the 85% thing makes a lot more sense than how it initially sounds.

Only another 50% to go to get to the 85% then...

A fired up Benitez is quite the animal.

First ever manager of both clubs. He will want to be the first to win a trophy at both.
