Richard Keys claims Rafael Benitez tried to leave Newcastle United for Everton twice

[Billy Dean]

We can get him and Stevie G in as a managerial dream team.

You could tell blues we would win the FA Cup this season and they still would say no in some turbo suped blooooo quest to be the most bitter blue ever born

Ive seen nothing in the last 15 years or so to suggest he would be a success here.

When he was at Liverpool, I genuinely thought he was the absolute worst and that I'd never hate 1 of their managers more. But they proved me wrong. 3 times. Each worse than the last (except Roy, he was hard done by).

At this point, what is there to lose?
If he is arrogant enough to come here, with all the stick he'd be in for, then why not?

Also, they would absolutely hate it. And if he improved us at all, they'd hate it even more.

So yeah, I'm in. But only If we can't get Mourinho.

that might be the case mate and wouldn’t argue against that but that’s not why some wouldn’t want him

Allegri over 70% win rate in four seasons at Juventus.
That would be the real deal.
I would rather Moyes back than Benitez
Not sure he could get more out of Everton than he did out of Newcastle.

And Sammy Lee again too, the icing on the cake!

To be fair, us Evertonians are absolutely mental. The amount of hate Osman and Moyes get.. and now people are welcoming the man who called us a small club.

We need psychological help.

Personally, my cold dead heart is too bitter to have him manage our club.

I’d rather sell my only child.

How much

And they call us Bitters lol

How much

Ask me just before he’s announced I wanna get a good price

Got a very decent record in the transfer market. Generally gets very quick results too. Got Chelsea back in the top 4 and won the Europa League with them.

Napoli sold their best player and appointed him, he then signed Jorginho, Ghoulam, Mertens, Higuain and Albiol as replacements who were superb for them.

Valencia fans love him. Newcastle fans love him. Liverpool fans love him.

Would be an excellent appointment but, purely because of his ties to that lot, I can’t see it.

Would really wind them up though!

I'd welcome him with open arms, to have someone who knows what a trophy looks like is a start and for the small club jibe he knows he'll have to prove himself quickly.
