New Everton Manager

[Barnfred 55]

…he’s also at the top of @davek wish list.

Thought Dave voted for Nuno

@Eggs I agree, please everyone who is calling Benitez, "Rafael" cease immediately...

David Moyes = Moyes
Roberto Martinez = Martinez
Ronald Koeman = Koeman
Sam Allardyce = Allardyce
Carlo Ancelotti = Ancelotti*

Why "Rafael" ? Its killing me


*ok it could be Carlo due to Davide being assistant.

 

[Zatara]

Well not being FSW is a good starting point for any candidate.

A double negative ?

Suave Favre is going to sweep in and end all of our nightmares.

Yes I've seen this ruffle the feathers line, but I don't really know what that means in a football context? Or know what it means anymore than what Ancelotti did? He is not a young man anymore, and with age comes a different, often less confrontational way of working (which can be good and bad). You can't do everything yourself anymore. I know Alex Ferguson as he got into his 60's increasingly started letting Phelan and Meulensteen run bigger aspects of training and the like and was more of an overseer than a coach. As you get older your value is going to be around tactical acumen in games and a bit of man management than maybe coaching.

Benitez is confrontational but not in the way people think. I really don't think he will be interested in much more than money to spend. People seem to be suggesting he will ensure the club is ran better. For the most part his moans at other clubs have been to run clubs worse, or at least unsustainably for his own ends as opposed to the wider needs of the club.

I don't see any real evidence that he is going to take some holistic, long term, broad view of rebuilding Everton.

In honesty he is going to be a continuation of the good and the bad we have had before. Usmanov/Moshiri will provide him the funds he wants, and he will happily spend them, with seemingly neither really worrying about what happens if/when the funds run out.

How he utilises the Evertonian's around him, but there has been some chat about David Weir coming back as well. It's the sort of thing I can see him doing.

Precisely. At Chelsea he brought in Zenden as an assistant.

At Liverpool, he had Sammy Lee.

At Newcastle he brought back Simon Smith as a Goalkeeping coach.

…I’m sure he said NES or Lampard were his choices. Probably enough to change your mind, Fred.

 

[Terrarian]

I reckon the club are just laughing at us all gullible, they've not really spoken to Benitez they just find it hilarious how angry we all are.

Were there any dancing bears?
Newcastle were a circus club anyway.

I know the world has gone mental the last couple of years, but these mad fanboy accounts are burning my head out

First of all you've got that weird Icelandic Statto account who appears to be like the internet equivalent of the Candyman - you only need to type the word "Sigurdsson" and he appears, ready to spam whichever medium is the flavour of the day

And now there's a Benitez one with inside information about how Benitez was blameless at any of the jobs he's failed at since he was sacked by Liverpool

Bizarre times we are living in. A worldwide pandemic feels far more normal than this recent trend

 

[kenada_blue]

What other motive could he have? We are clearly going to chuck millions his way to keep us in 10th. It's pathetic.

Then it's the same for everyone who wants the job. Unless they want to do it for free.

 

[blue61]

Every day it's not Benitez is a great day. I'd be up for giving 'El Brogues' another bash as long as he brought Henry to replace the big galoot, and Rom towed along.

 

[Jebus_lives]

How is Pep still in a job after getting pummelled by Leicester at home last season?
Even Klopp after the Villa defeat.

Not defending Rafael but we can't rely on single results.

He won the league.

 

[Jebus_lives]

I mean he wasn't wrong. Everyone knows Fergie time was real.

I don't think Liverpool lost after that rant though did they.

They definitely lost the league.
