Yes until 24th October when we move for Gallardo.

We'll be better w/ him. We'll also play some dire stuff and have to grind out a bunch of 1-0 victories. Then again w/ our finishing 1-0 should maybe what we should be aiming for.

Mate were getting moyes back for the season..

No. Some of the best managers in the world swear by it. All depends on the players and how it’s implemented.

It’s down to personal preference, man for man marking is hardly fool proof. It just makes accountability easier, post-mistake - which doesn’t ultimately help in preventing the goal.

Spot on.

A couple of bad results and the fans would turn on him even quicker than any manager in the history of the club, inc Allardyce.

That's the problem unfortunately.

I think his point was it a indirect insinuation, not a fair equivalence to be honest as they are both fat bellends who shouldn't be welcome at goodison

For me Rafael would be a safe pair hands for next few years, moving towards the new ground. Ok some fans won’t be happy and that’s understandable. But I believe Witt this squad and more investment he would get us challenging the top 6 and have us in the mix for trophies.

Utd are going to carry on throwing millions at it, but another poor appointment and keeping the same guy in charge of transfers, they could still be years off city & Liverpool. Arsenal I don’t think will spend fortunes moving forward. Spurs will most likely lose poch and a few of the star names, how will that effect them. And will Chelsea spend big or keep lampard and the kids. Basically I still think the top 4 will be wide open for a few more years.

The Alternatives
Moyes not happening imo
Dyche is moyes 2019 and the fans will be sick of him after 6months
Howe, spent a lot of money at Bournemouth, they still struggle to defend. We would play some good football. But I feel it would be a very yo-yo. 7th one year 11th the next. Some good performances abs results, mixed in with a few heavy defeats.
Arteta massive gamble.

And any from abroad like the Ajax manager would also be a big gamble.

I just think Rafael would be the best option, who we knew what we are getting. And would get us competing towards the top end of the league.

With the players we have we need a manager who can get them playing as they should be able to, as to who that is I am unsure. The Ajax manager has been mentioned of him I know very little except happen he is a mate of Brands. Rafael may be worth going for at least he has a winning record.

How safe a pair of hands is he as he took Newcastle down?

I don't see how he would get us towards the top end of the league in 2019.

Klopp took a team down, as did poch. And I think Conte did as well. Look at some of the crap he’s had at Newcastle. Christian Atsu for staters

Getting Rafael will be the final metamorphosis to us becoming geordies
