Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

Carlo Ancelotti wanted him at Real, but you know better obviously

Obviously I do. I watched him play (nearly every game he played in), I've watched him coach under 6 of the worst managers we have ever had....and seen absolutely sod all to make me think he'd be good as a manager.

Be handy if Duncan could rustle up a quick run of wins which would ease the pressure.

The ideal scenario is that there is breathing space to allow the club make the right appointment. That would be better done between now and the summer when a decision about a DOF could also be taken.

On the contrary, I'm not sure that Duncan gets more than 2 defeats before the club makes a hasty and/or panic appointment.

This isn't November, we don't have the luxury of losing games and that despair when Unsworth was in charge.

Hopefully Duncan can get us a few wins, starting on Saturday. The stakes are high.

Half a season to play still need a perm manager sooner then later, Europe still possible as is relegation

You know his job as a coach is to do what the manager tells him, yeah?

You a multi? Because this post would suggest you have engaged in posts about benitez with me for the last 6 months.

Ive read them, I only engage in conversation if I want to.

Is there any evidence of that? I heard ppl say it but never seen evidence

Your kidding right? So he cant have his own ideas, his own skill set. Obviously you do not know the meaning of the phrase 'Teamwork'. Im glad I do not do EVERYTHING my boss tells me too, in the same way that he does. And he appreciates me for it. Wow!

So you have read all the posts in the benitez thread for the last 6 months and haven't commented. And you are choosing to side with @davek? Who has been found out and vaulted immeasurably for just being wrong and proven wrong. And was in a the smallest minority for still backing benitez at the end despite the worst results and performances in my life time.

Right.

Unfortunately, the only managers we can attract right now are the highly paid has-beens, or the let's take a chance with the novice...the middle ground managers are all happy as larks at their current clubs, so please provide us with your list of possibles...

I await your non-manic selections with anticipation...

Garcia or Kovac fit the bill, both are unattached to clubs, neither are wet behind the ears, neither are megastar managers. Very attainable.

Must admit, I thought highly of @catcherintherye but now I know he's pro-Mourinho should I?

I'm not pro Mourinho, I thought the poll was for who we thought would be appointed.

Interesting article

Richard Jolly: What has happened to Everton?

Rafael Benitez has famously managed two Merseyside clubs. When Everton sacked him on Sunday, there were two league tables that told a tale of his time at Goodison Park.

There are some seriously depressing stats in there

Personally love to start of with Dan Ashworth as DOF, make him an offer he can’t refuse and take stock.

See how we go with Duncan and Baines for a while, providing we are picking enough points up and take it from there. Much better chance of getting the right man without being in too much of a rush.

He wanted someone to tell Benzema where the nets are

Other wild speculation doing the rounds that cannivaro is being sounded out. His last job was in China too. Probably a load of codswallop.

Right.

Sod off. I never said I agreed with Davek. Sometimes I agree with what he says yes, sometimes I don't. I agree with a lot you say sometimes too, if that makes you feel any better.
