2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Marius57]

In my humble opinion I think fans from both sides said a lot of hurtful things and it was the passion of the moment. Sure, there are a few that joined the forum just because Benitez and some of them have stirred things up, but the majority were just Blues wanting to support the new manager

Yeah, there have been from both sides. But when I'm repeatedly told I'm not a good evertonian, not a real fan, they are better fans because they support him, I'm deluded, part of a cult, a brigade, lumped in with those who made threats or abused him verbally because of his appearance and heritage, then I'm not going to just let that go. That's not just blues wanting to support the manager.

The majority did just want to support the manager, but many of those that keep getting tagged in posts, were doing the above. And on a regular basis.

And that's where the issue remains. But yeah, it will be nice to go back to people getting on.

Thank God but now we lurch into another insane appointment it seems

 

[witchdoc187]

I agree! and there others that truly love this Club even if they supported Benitez. So it would be nice if we stop the internal war that has been happening since he was appointed.

Should have kept Rafael. We would have won the league next season.

So how much will we end up paying him for his tenure as Guardian of our club?

9m I've heard. Bargain really

Benitez speaks:

We knew it wouldn't be easy, and that it was a big challenge, both emotionally and in terms of sport. My love for this city, for Merseyside and its people, made me accept this challenge, but it is only when you are inside that you realise the magnitude of the task. From the very first day, my staff and myself worked as we always do, with commitment and full dedication, we didn't only have to get results, but we also had to win over people's hearts. However, the financial situation and then the injuries that followed made things even harder. I am convinced that we would have been better once the injured players were back and with the arrival of the new signings. The road to success isn't easy and sadly, nowadays in football there is a search for immediate results and there is always less and less patience; unfortunately circumstances have determined the results and it won't be possible to continue this project.

In any case, thank you to the Board, to the staff, to the players, and to those fans who have supported us during this time.

My best wishes for EFC.

Rafael Benítez.

Damage limitation ahead of CVs going out tomorrow morning.

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Charming fans.

This is our league form, under that kopite clown of an ex manager we had.

As they say, a picture paints a thousand words.

"Unfortunately circumstances have determined the results."

The circumstances being inept management from you, pal.

 

[witchdoc187]

Once Tom Davies had got fit we would have charged up that table. Hopefully we've already given Stevie Longrod a 5 year contract

 

[Colonel Getafe]

So how much will we end up paying him for his tenure as Guardian of our club?

The club would never make sure a thing public, so any number is a guess. Depends on the clauses in or not in his contract. Maybe what he was owed til end of season, maybe as much as full 1 year pay. It'll be a nice few million either way, then on to the next pay day.

 

[everton fan number one]

I'm disappointed, I was looking forward to him being torn apart by an angry mob.

It’s a disgrace and an insult to supporters
Moshiri is clueless
Benetiz is a thief

[Dublin blue 75]

His press release is out. Search for immediate results, no patience etc..

 

[Yorkie89]

We need to go all out for potter

 

[Dancing Pat]

FFS.

Only if you started supporting Everton 2 years ago.

Try more like 53 years.
Nothing has come close to the havoc (on and off the field) that the bad Spanish bell has caused.
