New Everton Manager

[davek]

Not entirely true Dave!

He did hold this club back for a decade and a half and was indeed cheered to the rafters by the happy clappy brigade at GP.

Reports in Spanish press that he has definitely signed for us.

you were telling us that a week ago so why do care what the spanish press say?

 

[random]

Come on Everton, either do it or dont, but get on with it

 

[zukai12_]

I just dont see how this guy can progress us

He is probably a "safe pair of hands" but thats not what we need

We need to take a risk to actually do something imo

Playing it safe will get us nowhere long term

Some overreactions to Benitez in my opinion. I don’t like him at all but Moshiri has thrown hundreds of millions in and he’s entitled to choose whoever he wants tbh.

That said I still think we interviewed him and then moved on.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

"Maybe Moshiri is tired of paying compensation for GOOD managers and wants one that's out of work"

*proceeds to give a Fat Sam-type manager a 3 year contract*

"Man, Moshiri must HATE paying compensation for sacking a manager!"

The man is an idiot if he goes through with this. Don't care about the billions he has, he has 0 football acumen.

To
Be fair to him, he did hire two very good managers (on paper) it just went tits up

 

[YoboCopter]

We wont appoint fat raf imo

in the last 5 years we took risks on 2 relegated managers, then a risk on Ancelotti considering he has never managed this type of team

First off, I don't think Benitez is a strong manager, and for that reason, I don't want him.

But going on and on complaining that he called Everton a small club is embarrassing. It's exactly the kind of behavior you'd expect from a small club. I'm far more offended by comments and attitudes from those within the club, like Moyes' "knife to a gunfight" comment. I don't agree that Everton is a small club, but give FSW's 13-year-old comments some context and the far more offensive grievance is the small club mentality that permeated the club from the top down during those years.

I remember awkwardly trying to explain to a mate from Uni that Nigel Martyn was getting booed by the Gwladys (when he was at Leeds) because he'd turned down a move to us about 8 years earlier. As I was saying it I realised how absolutely ridiculous it sounded and expected him to laugh in my face. He understood it immediately, because other clubs are the same. There's nothing rational about football fans, it's pointless to pretend otherwise. Benitez disrespected Everton, and people don't forget that type of thing. You can call it childish all you want, but it's just how it is, and telling people not to do it isn't going to make a blind bit of difference.

You are going to be incredibly disappointed then.

 

[Richard Alex]

I trust you and the other nine people are getting yourselves ready.

Listen mate I’m not happy about it either. I could never stand the bloke.
I want what’s best for Everton
Not certain this manager is the best for us but only time will tell
Pre season is around the corner and we need to start planning and getting players in. I’ve totally lost faith in football people in general after Carlo
I’m just fed up with it all to be honest

Great news! I didn't know Klopp was sacked.

And if we’re 0-2 down to Southampton at HT? Mayhem will ensue. He won’t last 5 minutes.

Hence why I said he’ll have no honeymoon period. Mind you if we’re two down to Southampton at HT under some mythical manager that everyone unites behind then it’ll be the players on the receiving end is said mayhem - I don’t believe the fan base has much more patience to give with some of these players

Who was the 1st very good manager?

What about if we are 2=0 up
