New Everton Manager

[Seathestars]

In many ways Rafael, welcome home

Although to be fair, in what way would that be different for any other manager we appoint??

I agree, the comment was to an earlier message. I do though think his time is past, he’s not right for a club that needs a rebuild.

That’s a possibility for sure. Everything else is conjecture. None of us have any idea what the process has been behind the scenes or who was interested or who we targeted initially.

What we do know is the club have taken the experienced route again and for some reason Rafael Benitez appears to be the best option.

From an outsiders perspective I’d say there has to be little options available or interested in the job for us to steep to the levels of hiring him. Especially after having a manager of Ancelotti’s ilk previously.

Supposedly ~40 people "applied" which I find really funny, it's like they put their CV on Indeed or something.

I find it unfathomable that Benitez was the best of that bunch.

Some want him. Some don’t. Some think he’s good enough, some don’t. Fan base is split.

Just like any other candidate really.

Have we announced Rafael the gaffer, yet?

Is it defo him who is gonna be our new manager? That first game of the season will be interesting if it is.

Much more split than any appointment that's been made before. Underplaying it isn't really giving an accurate reflection of the situation.

It goes well or it goes disastrously. There is no real middle ground here.

In answer to your question, no, no and bloody right!

Not really.

He is the most divisive of candidates I would opines.

Only everton could manage to sign ancelotti as manager, play a season with no fans and then replace him with benitez just in time for the fans coming back.

 

[Jokerdan]

In all the glorious history of our beautiful and wonderful football club this past few days and weeks will go down as the most ignominious period of all time. It casts a dark shadow over our glorious motto of NSNO.

More split than Fat Sam?

Some people practice cannibalism, some don't. The human race is split.

More split than Fat Sam?

Definitely

Benitez would feed a large family of cannibals for a while.

More split than Fat Sam?

Much more. I didn't see anyone happy with Allardyce as manager.
