Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

[fandjango]

He ditched Newcastle after sticking with them through a relegation and a promotion and being given no support from an owner with no ambition
Check the facts he was loved by the fans but the owner didn’t provide the support Benitez felt was needed

Why would Ashley choose not to keep an manager on who is so perfectly adapted to getting Top 10 clubs in to Europe?
And then replace him with Steve Bruce?

It wasn’t about Ashley as I recall
It was about no funds being made available and Rafael essentially walking
I may be wrong of course so I’ll go and check then come back and eat humble pizza

God I just don’t want this season to begin.

Only interesting thing to come out of that press conference was him saying players told him there’s something missing

Could be nothing, and he’s just giving himself room to say “hey these lads needed something and I brought it” when things go right, but I don’t know

Colour me intrigued

No mate, his PR firm said he wanted to stay but wasn't renewed.....

It would. I have to say, I don't like the bloke particularly but Luckily that isn't how you judge a manager. Alex Fergusson was a horrible piece of work but he did alright. Carlo was a man I would of asked to be god father to my children I loved the man but he did diddly squat for us as a club...

Can ye imagine how moody it'll be if we get pumped by Southampton on opening day

a decent manager now Carlo has gone?

 

[micknick]

Ive really struggled with this appointment but I support the club and he just happens to be manager.

It would be nice to have a manager we can all like and get behind but it’s a results game and I really liked Martinez and Ancelotti and they both ended terribly so who knows. Let’s go

Quote from BBC journo
Rafael and Ashley fell out because of a £60 mill budget and a disagreement over player ages
..,quote
Benitez will be seen as a manager of tactical brilliance who has had Newcastle punching above their weight, with Ashley viewed as the villainous owner who has claimed his latest victim.

What money he did get at Newcastle he pished away on a fair bit of crap. I wouldn't have given him more either.

Yeah I found that interesting too.. and my first thought was.. yes they are missing a backbone as they are all spineless!!

Yep he fell out with Ashley over Budget
He wanted money and experienced players he was offered £60mill and told to use young players

 

[Toffe3m4n]

So much negativity lol

Be hilarious if he actually does bits. You's aren't allowed to enjoy it if so.

 

[Theoneandonly]

Not a chance he wouldn't have left Newcastle to go back to Napoli.

Absolute nonsense. He'd have been gone quicker than Ancelotti left here.

It's not true that's why.

He was wanted by West Ham and Arsenal in 2018, but they were unwilling to pay his buyout fee. Spain also wanted him to manage the national team, but again Ashley demanded they pay a buyout fee.

He was wanted by us in 2019, but the compensation was too high and he was unable to get out of his contract. He was also wanted by Celtic, Arsenal and West Ham again.
