Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

[orly]

I agree. I'll judge him by the points too, just think there'll be a major swing back to home wins and less away

And that's fine. Maybe he'll win 19 home games, one away game and reach 60 points.

A club statement said: "The appointment of Benitez comes after a robust and wide-reaching recruitment process by the club over the last three weeks – a process which has included multiple interviews with several candidates.

Sure we did.

Wide reaching

He lives in the Wirral

Moshiri’s strategy so far appears to find a manager we don’t like and buy him a house after a year. I believe a hopeful Pardew has already cleared his 2022 diary…..

Rafael already has a house. That will save us a few million.

He wouldn’t have got the job if didn’t agree to keep them.

Sentimenty wreaks havoc within this club.

The reason I was open to Nuno getting the job as he wanted a complete change of staff from U23s upwards which is what I think is needed.

No other club does this.

How sad is it that I don't care anymore?

if he gets rid of that Icelandic waste of a shirt and his Portuguese variant I'll give him til xmas.

Maybe get a midfielder in that can run, pass, tackle & shoot.

He knows Gylfi is rubbish and will not have the wool pulled over his eyes like Ancelotti.

I'd take that in a heartbeat right now

ok, like most, I'm not happy about this but here's the positives I can see.

We're not going to overhype him. No murals or banners or any of that. Till the season starts, he'll be left alone for the most part.
I think our squad is actually quite good. So he has the bones of a good team. He's a well known disciplinarian which seems like something we've missed.
Fans of his previous clubs do seem to love him (puke) so there's a chance, through sheer work rate and the type of performances his team put in, he could win a few fans around.
Thats it, all I have for now.

The squad is junk. We have half a decent first team

 

[Jim Hopper]

If its been said before i apologise. I think for sure there's going to be decent money spent on players in this window. Mainly to deflect this appointment. And also think these have been decided on already.

Remains to be seen. This is a big gamble from Moshiri, he’s lost a huge amount of support today so if he really wants it to work he has to back him.... but then he fed Ancelotti scraps so who knows what will happen....

 

[JammyP]

Welcome. It is what it is.

 

[Billy Dean]

In many ways, Rafael, welcome home.

How sad is it that I don't care anymore?

It's understandable and unfortunately probably common. That's maybe the worst part of this.

Yeah, but it went all the way to the Moyes household in Preston.

Was about to post the same thing.

Not excited, not angry, just... nothing really. It is what it is, 12-18 months of probably nothing to 'look forward to', but it was going to be the same regardless of who we brought in.

They gave Bill an all zones day ticket to get to Caldy
