New Everton Manager

[ToffeeTim]

That's the only valid criticism of the appointment right there in bold. As in valid in football terms.

And I'd agree, but I'd counter with one thing - for him to take this job, in the face of all this, knowing the local rivalry, knowing what it means... he's either incredibly stupid, incredibly brave or incredibly confident, or a mad mix of all three.

If he takes the job, bombs it and is out in six months, so be it. But to be this angry before he gets the job and a ball is kicked? It's bonkers.

I personally think they are all valid football concerns but the one you bolded is by far the biggest.

How can anyone say appointing a manager from the league in China is a risk free appointment?

Well done the lads who put that banner outside his house.

Whoever is quick to condemn them are hypocrites, you will never curry favour with the kopites, no matter what you concede, no matter what you pretend is 'crossing a line'.

Have some respect and back your own, there are plenty of lads in Walton who love everton, there are lads who love this club and would go to prison for it.

I bet any money if the boys who did that banner had any input in the club, Iwobi wouldn't be here and we wouldn't of gone nearly 30 years without a cup.

The anger should be put against the board. If you want to pretend you are a superfan by arguing with other blues, that toxic mix could take us down eventually.

Cud someone repost the fsw s extensive list of failed signings for the rs. I ve searched but cant find the bugger. It was on the weekend some time. Cheers

The stuff at the ground was in poor taste and uncalled for, but whoever put the threats up at the man's family home should be ashamed of themselves and knock it off immediately. It's gone too far now, I hope the police catch them

Dont want him anywhere near the club but can't condone any of the shenanigans that have occurred over the weekend

Embarrassing for the club and each and every one of us as fans

These signs are perfectly valid and legitimate forms of protest.

The one threatening him and his family is absolutely kin' disgraceful and the person responsible for it needs to face serious repercussions for it. However, as scummy as it may be it doesn't invalidate the other banners and the perfectly reasonable messages they displayed.

An interesting take on it. I've definitely got to a point where I'm losing interest in football and Everton. I used to watch every game without fail and it would dictate my mood for the rest of the weekend, but now if they lose i just think meh.

The main reason is because of the attitudes of players these days and I just can't relate with it. Having grown up watching teams with real desire and passion its an absolute disgrace to me to see players hugging and laughing with opponents after a disappointing loss.

Regarding Rafael, I can see why you would be annoyed with the appointment but for me I do believe he will get more out of his team than Carlo did and I think he will actually start getting the project on track, but thats only if he's allowed to by the fans, which is why I think we all just need to get behind the appointment for the sake of the club.

Yeah agreed with the attitudes. I just find the game an absolute churn these days. There are moments that make it all worth it but its few and far between.

It's not even a lack of success, I enjoyed the 90s because I at least felt that the players were trying their best and there was some emotion to it.

I am not annoyed by Benitez per se, just the board. The sentiment about getting behind the manager is a correct one but we also need to live in the real world were not everyone is going to do that. Why would we put ourselves in that position? I think exactly the same about a Moyes or Martinez return. Any new manager needs the best chance they can be given to succeed. Benitez would not get that.

Aye what a great appointment.

Is there ANYONE saying they think it's a great appointment?

Plenty of lads in Walton.
Haha.

But who is risk free? Was Carlo?

At the entrance to the drive of a house which isn't Benitez's, so maybe it's a message to the owner of the house it is outside of.

Well apparently loads on here now want him here because of a banner. So if they want him here whilst also thinking he'll be a bad appointment then they clearly just hate Everton.

 

[NeroCeasar]

After seeing that banner outside his house I want him to be appointed now

Agree.

Listen to yereselves for God's sake, ye want to appoint the Kopite rat because ye object to a banner, that everyone in their right mind objects too? It's not one or the other, but supporring appointing him because ye are upset about a banner is possibly the most "Everton that" thing I have ever seen

First one is fine; totally don't understand the second one.

How is Benitez "money over morals"?

 

[windymiller]

I'm pro-Rafael now, good job you pitiful wetwipes, hope he wins us a league title just to spite you crybabies

This, Rafael is OUR man now, so we support him in our interests.

You two have been pro-Benitez for days now, let's not pretend that this was some sort of tipping point for you.

Well done the lads who put that banner outside his house.

Do one.
