New Everton Manager

So you can't judge then

Well the last one was Lampard who spent over £230 mil on an already good squad of players.

Must say.... That's a great view.

It is if you took benitez out of it .

Being curious here.

When is the last time an English manager won the league or anything at all ?

League must have been Wilkinson at Leeds in the old 1st Div. FA Cup, didn’t Redknapp win it last? Before that must have been Royle with us?

They are too busy with their shady syndicate milking poor clubs of megabucks for doing nada

full proof here

Howard Wilkinson with Leeds?

Wilkinson & Joe Royle.
Wow thats pretty damning on English managerial appointments.

The only reason people want Potter is they look at his XG, and cream their pants. XG does not win you points! His win percentage is 25%, what has this lad done which is so exceptional that he warrants getting the Everton job? He certainly isnt out performing Chris Hughton his predecessor.......

Some need to give their head a wobble!

We need to go for the best out there, nothings guaranteed but the chances of success are alot higher than taking one of the leagues basement boys. Da`s on here saying Moyes has a glass ceiling yet want Potter who has never had even a mid table finish. Cant understand the thought process!

Creating better quality chances than your opposition does win you points though eventually. On the flip side, xG told us we were gonna go wank even when we were 2nd

Last English manager to win a trophy was Redknapp with Pompey wasn’t it? FA Cup.

Howard Wilkinson in 1992 was the last to win the top division

Harry Redknapp was the last to win a domestic trophy period in 2008

Cos Iwobi is that bad he can't get a game.

Still doesn't mean he walks into our team.

I'll say this for Rafael: he's a bit of a [Poor language removed]. That, to me, is something we need in a manager.

Cards on table: I think decisions are best made when emotions are taken out of them. In the case of Benitez, I think he is every bit as viable a contender for the job as pretty much anybody on our list - when you take away the crippling local rivalry bullshit that many thrive on. He has been successful so he has a demonstrable record of success. He has managed great players and Newcastle United players.

What I would ask is: is he the best man for the job? I'd like to think that his time has probably passed and there are better managers out there for us right now. But his record is very good indeed, and his record ranks above 99% of managers in the game: FACT!
