Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

[Curtis]

I'm disappointed the new manager thread is closed, I was hoping it would live on like a Japanese soldier still fighting world war 2 thirty years later defiantly battling against a inconvenient reality.

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.

Part of their global network mate that’s set up that sees us buy players from the far reaches of Italy at a push.

He’s quite a ruthless mf by all accounts which this squad could do with - been far too molly coddled in recent times.

We swerved Nuno as he wanted his own staff

Now we have Benitez, but at least Ferguson gets to stick around even longer ey

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.

Broken the fanbase.

Anger or apathy.

He'll definitely coach the players more than Carlo "just go and play" Ancelotti.

Thats a positive from the start - desperately need to invest money wisely this summer as any manager will struggle with this group of shysters.

 

[ChesterBlue]

A bit gutted about the announcement, but now he’s here I’ll get behind him I suppose

Good interview that. Pretty detailed on what he's looking to do and achieve.

He knows results at home are crucial for him and we have to improve on Ancelotti's disastrous time at Goodison Park.

 

[Nymzee]

The fact Moshiri is already calling him Rafael makes me sad.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I get the impression based on his interview that Dunc won't be his actual assistant.. he'll just be a first team coach.

 

[Melchizedek]

Didn't want him, don't want him, don't think he'll be successful, hope he proves me wrong.

 

[Pejic300]

Brexit, Covid, now this.

SC
As I understand it you only started supporting Everton last year withe arrival of James.

Have you become soingrained into the club that you can be so upset over something that happened over a decade ago?

 

[Neiler]

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music
Used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

Broken the fanbase.

Anger or apathy.

Oh I was broken long before this.

"Expected losses", "James McCarthy is family" and "Lukaku's mum is a voodoo doctor" achieved that.
