New Everton Manager

[Cork Evertonian]

If he wins us a trophy does that change?

Far fetched but it’s a possibility I suppose


We are all being hypothetical

I’d rather look at it from a positive view point as opposed to a doom and gloom end of the world mentality. Pointless getting upset and crying about it.

Anything could happen with the right recruitment over the next coming weeks.

I'll worry about that when a trophy is won like.

What's the logic behind this? genuinely interested to know. Actually sounds a bit backwards to me..

One can only assume that he thinks the amount of work needed to get a body to 100% will put stress on it?

 

[mawders]

Yes, indeed, also worth highlighting.

When he said 'small club' he apparently meant more 'small team' which was a reaction to how we set up to completely stifle a 0-0 out of Anfield at the time.

I don't believe a word of it.

If the mentality of this place is anything to go by at least we’ll win the papa john’s trophy with him in a few years time!...

Benitez must have balls of steel and/or be genuinely tapped to want this job. He'll know the score. Pretty sure he'll give 100% to the job.

Still wish it wasn't him though.

Mate I would gladly face the flak for the wages coming his way.

anyone wanna buy a season card

And there lies the problem - if Spurs couldn't have attracted a CL calibre manager what chance did we have?

Get behind Benitez and see what he does before demanding him out so we can appoint Tony Pulis.

don't think we tried tbh and who wants to work with Levy

We are we are so lets get behind Rafael till xmas as we al know how this ends. Can keep this thread open as will be used soon

Being at 100% all the time is not possible and leads to burnout. We need time to recover, both mentally and physically. But that quote suggests he is happy to be at 85% max. Usually you would ramp up to games to try and get as close to 100% as possible, then dip down during the week and slowly build up again.

Edit: here is the chart for managing mental pressure and stress...

Who's even arsed about the small club comment, The way Moyes set up against big teams was with a small club mentality and he rightfully got pelters from Everton fans about his horrendous record against the big 6 but if Benitez says it, End of the world.

We’re even worse than we was under Moyes, we’re even smaller now.

Not bothered about the comment to be honest, it’s nice when a manager has a hit about him to wind people up.
Exactly the same as Moyes coming out with peoples club.

My big worry is he targets the same one he did with Newcastle

It's not about the comment. It was probably right at the time. But it was insulting nonetheless. Its not the job of the RS manager to call us out. That's all in the past. Or it should be until we've today gone on and appointed him!
