Rafael and the small club comment

[Ciao]

What’s he done to warrant the job here, Or anywhere come to think of it? He got a fluke champions league win nearly 15 years ago and a fluke fa cup and won a europa league with a Chelsea team who should have been playing in the champions league anyway. Not bothered by his comments I’m bothered by his lack of success though.

Lot of flukes there, irony

 

[Ciao]

I think whether we will like him or not, he won’t be coming unless paid the same salary as he is getting now. Twice as much as Klopp. Not happening so this discussion is null and void

Apart from win a Europa league in the 6 or so months he was with Chelsea and managed Real Madrid.

Thank goodness we can attract top quality managers like Howe, Moyes and Hughes so we don't have to think about him...

If you were in charge of real Madrid it would be hard not to win something. He succeeded in that .
Is it hard to accept that people want him no where near the club for a variety of reasons.

RS and plays less exciting football than Steve Bruce.

And if we're going to call him a top manager 'cos he won the Europa with Chelsea then why not go the whole hog and get Roberto Di Matteo in instead? Won the Champions League with pretty much the same Chelsea side.

His lack of success? May I ask you who you would have that has been more successful? And realistic

It's not hard but equally it's not hard to see he is better than any other candidate currently being talked about.

Ask yourself who has the better chance of getting a tune out of our current players someone who has managed in the champions league and won a few pots or Moyes/Howe.

I'm all for weighing up others, but he is by far the better choice as it stands.

Didnt realise there were only 3 managers in the world. Sorry . As I said before I would not have him anywhere near the club . Not just for his links to liverpool. Because I think he is gone past it and his time at Newcastle suggest to me he is .

I have missed the forum unity certain managerial appointments bring. This seasons Allardyce for me. Get him in.

And better candidates are?

Time to get the gang back together.

And better candidates are?

Pochettino for one . On less money then he is on in China. If we could attract an elite manager like Rafael surely we could attract one who won nothing.
I'd also give arteta a go before him.
Marcellino before him
Laurent blanc before him
All off the top of my head

I think you may have answered your own question.
Benitez has won trophies just about everywhere he went, if appointed he would the most successful Everton manager ever.... albeit those successes were not at Everton.

If Benitez expects any club in world football to match his current salary then he will be still managing in China when he turns 80.
I would expect that he would jump at the chance to come back to the Premiership.

Barcelona and Atletico may not agree with you.

So suddenly Rafael is a great manager after all?
Poch will never consider Everton, and what makes Marcellino and Arteta better options than Rafael?
Laurent Blanc I can agree with.
