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

[jamieni]

Don't know about unprofessional. I didn't think that, but you could be right. I read it more as him reluctantly pulling out of the running. But time will tell.

It's not a club in a good place anyway

You’d imagine it’s either a bit of PR to try and get fans’ sympathy or he’s just said sod this for a lark.

Feel for the fella if true.

Whats happened to our fans???

At this rate there will not be any

 

[Rob17896]

I do get people feeling sorry for him but seriously, giving interviews to the press about an ongoing recruitment process? That's a proper no no, it's completely unprofessional. It doesn't bode well for improving our PR if he does come here if that's how he goes about things.

coping with the pressure well isn't he?

 

[riddick]

It's not his fault either I should stress. He's just a manager trying to land a big job. The issue is he is being associated as Kia's man, just like Rondon was always Benitez's man. It's criticism by association and it all falls at the feet of Moshiri who is responsible for our perceived lack of a plan.

Agree 100%. I don't hate Vitor, but he never should even be considered for this job much less a front runner. It's that POS Kia prick that's pushing him and Moshiri, for some inexplicable reason, doesn't see he has his own best interests in mind and nothing about Everton FC. Think he would have been a good fit for us after Moyes but that boat has absolutely sailed.

Direction of travel now seems to be Lampard but then again who knows ?‍

"Vitor Pereira considers withdrawing from the running for Everton job following fan protests"

If true, it'll be a saving face exercise. Plenty of managers 'withdraw' when they know they've been snubbed. Was some reports Nuno did it with us.

"Vitor Pereira also made it clear that he is represented by a lawyer, not an agent, and that he applied for the Everton Manager position through Bill Kenwright, who he has known for six years."

He knows Kia Joorabchian is toxic and fans, quite rightly, won't stand for back hander/jobs for the boys extending to club manager.

 

[brieverton]

Announce Frank.

 

[davek]

This is just a clarification of his connections by Pereira, NOT a withdrawal.

 

[garyw]

I hope we appoint Lampard, but he needs a DOF too.

That should have been the first appointment, but as always we are trying to do things in reverse.

If you‘re a young player at Everton now you will be praying Lampard comes in

 

[Tony101]

One of reason why I want Lampard instead of Pereira. Surly he has watched Everton this season and seen how some players have performed (Coleman Rondon Keane) I am not sure how much of Everton Pereira would have seen. I reckon Lampard definitely knows how crap Iwobi does Pereira.

Seriously tho we need who ever it is to instantly work because we are running out of time and games.

 

[DanB90]

“Benitez out”…. “But theres a good chance we won’t want the next fella either… NSNO!”

 

[Curtis]

If vitor does withdraw due to fan reaction , he's earned my respect as Benitez knew there was massive opposition to his appointment and because of ego he proceeded to enter into a volatile andunsustainable situation. I don't despise Vitor I just think he's suitable for the challenge that was awaiting him.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Fat Frank because he is not Vitor seems like more of the amateurism that got us here.

 

[Carloblues]

UP THE GRAFFITI TOFFEES

I'm still consoling myself with the thought that perhaps, for once, the club have pulled off a PR masterpiece, by letting it seem almost certain that they are going to appoint Pereira and then apparently bowing to fan pressure and appointing Lampard. Who knows perhaps it was always Lampard they wanted and they have gone down this route inorder to unite the fan base behind the lesser of two evils Lampard.

Mind you this is Everton, so, expect the Iranian lunatic to appoint Pereira in the next few hours.
