New Everton Manager

[Death]

Never been more humiliated as a fan when Benitez is announced.

Are them deloreans uncomfortable? I hear they are a nightmare for parts.

Announcement with a new signing and saying more to come.

The people will be clapping like seals for more.

It's a head scratching appointment.

Needlessly antagonistic. Huge percent of the fanbase aggressively against it. Doing it anyway.

Self sabotage.

….not accusing you, but I do wonder if some posters are part of the Benitez PR team. There are a few on a charm offensive trying to influence the many.

they need to work on the ‘charm’ bit rather than the ‘offensive’ bit…

Ancelotti got away with alot last season because of who he was, that luxury will not be afforded to Benitez, quite the opposite IMO.....

I find it hard to agree with that.
We spent most of the season in a strong position for Europa league with a modest chance of CL.
As a result of the last game or two we finished tenth probably two or three positions below our average position for the season... and Ancelotti is being judged on that final position.

Yep. Sums it up for me . From day 1 there will be massive opposition to it . Crazy.

When was the match that Benitez made that infamous comment, and what was the score? You'd think it was a nil-nil, surely.

There was a 2-2 around then, but it doesn't sound like a parking the bus affair.

We've been a laughing stock for the past few years, this is the pinnacle. Can't imagine any other club harbouring top 6 ambitions hiring Sam Allardyce and Rafael Benitez within three years of each other.

I've thought the board are inept and lacking ambition, but this appointment would just go and prove it for me.

And if anyone on the board is against the appointment, then the right thing for them to do would be to resign.

i think Gbamin will start 1st home game under Benitez to prevent some booinh they can say: please welcome our new manager and please welcome back Ghabaminnnnnnnn

'Rafael Rafael Rafael benitez, Rafael Rafael benitez la la la la la, he's got dumfries and nunes'

(Played in the tune of la bamba)

We won one home game in a five month period. If you think Benitez is going to get away with a record like that then you are in for quite the shock.

I wouldn’t care so much if he was actually still a good manager but he just isn’t. Not only are we going to [Poor language removed] the fanbase but we’re appointing a sub par manager. It’s beyond belief how this is happening.
