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

[summerisle]

...never underestimate that Everton are a very attractive proposition for a Manager.

Not at the moment.

 

[Tigger]

No thanks, very dated style and a massive bulb.

 

[peteblue]

I cannot stand Benitez, but I would take him over Silva.......

 

[blue61]

It's about time we had a manager from the Wirral to improve the clubs image.

 

[Goat]

Reckon he'd have a few release clauses?

Yes.

 

[Bullet]

In the top leagues Rafael's won: 1 Champions league, 1 Europa League, 1 Uefa Cup, 2 La Liga's, 1 English FA Cup, 1 Italian FA Cup.
Koeman's won: 1 Spanish FA Cup.
It was an act of utter self destructive insanity to pay through the teeth for the middling Koeman in 2016 when serial winner Rafael was available for free. The worst decision the club has made in my lifetime given Moshiri's investment would provide the only real chance we've had to become a relevant club again. Now squandered.
The Rafael boat has sailed, slowly to China where he's being paid a fortune and under contract. Key's is talking rubbish.

If he's desperate to come, I'd let him at the moment . On a trial like, to see how he behaves. First red bauble on his chrimbo tree and he'd be out.

Who honestly cares if he's a kopite ffs.

I love Reidy and he was one of them Baines too.

Not saying I want him here (his style doesnt fit Brands philosophy so its not happening) but a few of those not wanting him over a throw away comment made over a decade ago are the same ones ypu see on social media frothing over Koeman having red decorations on his Xmas tree.

Where are those same people when Kenwrong, Silva and Moshiri are destroying the club - nowhere to be heard/seen.

Weird fanbase we are.

Neither Reid or Baines managed them though. It's not a good comparison.

Sounds to me that you prefer a washed up red who thinks very little of us ahead of a bloke who has been a blue all his life and one who has ploughed a load of money into us so its a bit out of order to have a pop at others.

 

[Death]

Bring a blue home to Merseyside.

Whatever side of the fence you're on regarding Silva, Gorilla Mitts has had it in for Silva since he got the Hull Job.

Banged on week in, week out on BeIN how a steady pair of hands "from a british manager who knows the game" would fare far better.

Keys is only ever interested in spotlight. He doesn't even care if they're talking good or bad..... So long as it's him.

Vile.

Gorilla Mitts.

Brilliant!

Would genuinely prefer Fat Sam

 

[Yarrgh]

I was in a Vodka induced coma on Saturday night and dreamt that FSW was our manager and we had just beaten the RS in the derby, and FSW pulled out a heavy silver tray from under his waistcoat and buried it in Klopp’s ‘Red Rum‘ inspired gnashers. Initially I thought it was just another alcohol fuelled psychotic episode, but perhaps it was a vision?

It can be both.

I agree on this, the Premier League is also a draw, I'm sure managers on a certain level, such as just outside the Champions League regulars, would come this division
