Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

Just glanced at today's red Echo with a photo of the fat Spanish waiter with his Everton tracksuit and hat, draped in blue.

Ok rationally it makes sense publicity-wise, what else would he wear when being photo'd? To me however it just smacks of overcompensating for his long, long history with Liverpool and trying everything and anything to ingratiate himself with a disaffected fanbase.

There's one reason imo why he took this job and that is that it suits his circumstances atm having property, family and deep connections to the area, it's not his employer - Everton, or anything like that. In my opinion It's a marriage of convenience for him to get back in the premier league, almost like working for an employer you hate but taking it as the money is good and the benefits of living and working in this locality outweigh the negatives.

He looks a fraud in blue but the 'fans' might be appeased
 

This is going to make the original cultists vs plotters look like a walk in the park.
The similarity with the Martinez era is that, as back then, there are people who refuse to keep an open mind on an incoming manager and wont let go of their position - as if their 'being right' is worth more than Everton doing well under a manager they dont want here.

The real division is between the rational and the irrational.
