This one came from onions on the other forum - he knows a few people in the club.

Told us all yesterday to expect a Benitez media storm today.

Dunc moves above Nuno in our pole and now lies 3rd behind two bits of unobtanium

Think the Rafael being considered is click bait, last chance before the euros.

Talk about creating a narrative with only a select part of history.

Who did he buy at Liverpool?

Torres
Xabi Alonso
Mascherano
Luis Garcia
Dirk Kuyt
Crouchy
Glen Johnson
Agger
Skrtel
Pepe Reina
Benayoun
Momo Sissoko
Fabio Aurelio
Zenden
Raheem Sterling
Jonjo Shelvey
Suso
Insua
Ayala
Paletta

He also wanted to buy Aguero, Vidic, Dani Alves, David Silva and Aaron Ramsey at Liverpool, but the club wouldn't sanction the moves. So he was hamstrung.

At Newcastle he was promised money which never materialised. He was given his 5th or 6th choice signings. News has come out recently that he had a deal in place for Bruno who went to Man Utd and Ruben Dias who joined City.

He has a very good eye for talent. Don't forget he also signed Casameiro, Danilo, Kovacic and Lucas Vasquez at Madrid. Advised Liverpool to purchase Coutinho from him at Inter, when he was leaving. Had scouted Luis Suarez at Liverpool for 18 months before he joined at which point Rafael had already left, Jorginho, Higuain, Koulibaly, Mertens, De Guzman, Callejon, Albiol, Gabbiadini at Napoli. Almiron, Schar, Fernandez, Dubravka, Rondon at Newcastle.

This genuinely sounds like it's written by a PR agency employed by the man himself.

What else has he said?

 

[Dixieslaces]

I don't know anyone at the club mate - I doubt they'd care what some nerd who runs a fan site thinks anyway lol

They defo should tho, lol!

Whoever you take has to sort out the culture of EFC and that is a task beyond most men.

We need to be dragged into the modern era of football. It’s why someone like Potter wouldn’t be a bad shout, although if he has the ability to bring that sort of change to a club so set in its ways is the question.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

What else has he said?

He said that Mosh likes Benitez.

 

[Marius57]

What

Dubravka I'll give him, I think he is a quality keeper.

 

[JMT]

Just appoint Galtier, PLEASE.

 

[davek]

Oh dear Dave…

Oh dear what?

One win in 4? Is that not a fact?

Subbed a sub and on his last game served up utter muck to a bored Goodison and with a new manager sitting in the stands watching.

He failed.

 

[LocalNative]

I won't get behind an Everton team managed by Rafael Benitez. How on earth are this club even considering appointing him after the disrespect he's shown towards us in the past?

 

[Theoneandonly]

You need to get your [Poor language removed] out of Rafael

Go and read my posts. I also said Ancelotti would fail here and said he was set in his ways. I got slammed down for that too.

A 4 game sequence of Chelsea home, Utd away, Leicester Home and Aresenal home and we got 5 points and lost on a shootout.

Losing to Fulham, Sheff Utd and Newcastle at home and away to Liverpools u23s under Ancelotti was embarrassing.

Losing 0-2 at home to both newly promoted Sheff Utd and Norwich, and losing 2-6 at home to Spurs under Silva was embarrassing.

Only managing 1 point against Greek part timers in the Europa league under Koeman and Unsworth was embarrassing (I know we won a game, but that was under Allardyce, even then, it was Craig Shakespeare in charge of that particular game).

Getting beat 0-4 by the Sh*te TWICE under Martinez was embarrassing.

And I have stood up all of them (except Koeman, never liked him).

You are an embarrassment if you think results under Ferguson were an embarrassing.

You are either deliberately trying to goad people with contrarian stuff you don't believe, or you have an agenda. I think it's a mix of the 2.

First 2 games acceptable (apart from the embarrassment of subbing Kean...the sub he'd put on), then it fell apart dramatically.

The feller isn't up to it. If he was, he'd have ben employed as a manager by now - wouldn't he????
