Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

Surely not.

@Theoneandonly any truth to that?!

Not a chance !!

I believe the Athletic on this one.

I've listened to the Tony Scott podcast with Carragher and Benitez first interview. I wasn't completely sold on him beforehand but not to the same level as some of the drama Queens reactions I've seen (We don't care what the red [Poor language removed] say......unless he called us a small club". Anyway, the more Iisten to him and from others, the more I think IF we give him time, he'll improve us. It's going to be grim for another season at least I think as all that is broken cannot be fixed in a year so I think it's imperative we are patient.

"Though, it’s also been reported by The Athletic that Benitez’s salary will, in fact, be somewhere in the region of £7 million a year."

Probably just lazy journalism, RB doesn't have an ounce of credibility.

Maybe it has heavy incentives.

@Theoneandonly can probably tell us, he's had his finger on the pulse throughout our manager search

I read that piece in the Athletic. Am still not onboard with this appointment at all and it does make me feel a bit ill.

However I do like the fact he had a squad analysis and something which outlined a plan - hoping it was a squad list which said "punt, keep, volley to Saudi" over players pictures.

@Theoneandonly can probably tell us, he's had his finger up Benitez’s arse throughout our manager search

Right, im all in now.

After reading about his squad "audit", its swayed me to think he will bin loads of this lot.

Lets back him now.

He promises to work hard and fight for us, not much more to say, fingers crossed this turns out well and for some weird reason I am starting to think it will.

That's the spirit. Laugh my little cock off if he wins us a trophy. All these that aren't going again will miss it too.

Good luck to the guy, hope he does well and you have to appreciate the cojones. Have to admit this is the least interested in Everton I have ever been. Such a disconnect with the fans, so much mediocrity throughout the club and there's no valid reason for it. We have spent hundreds of millions of pounds on garbage managers, players and a manager who wasn't in it for the duration.

Think he'll do great, by no means a perfect appointment but who is? Carlo was a dinosaur who delivered 10th & 12th placed finishes yet he was beloved lmao.

Whats been said about the squad?

 

[witchdoc187]

still cant being myself to look at photos of him with blue and white scarf. I just hope he does well and somehow pulls off a miracle.

People who say he was RS a decade ago etc. he always shares the anniversaries of their trophy day, and he did so this year too.

A month or so ago

Whats been said about the squad?

"Last Friday, several of the required negative COVID-19 tests later, Benitez was able to leave his Caldy home but those negotiations continued. They were important to both parties but also something of a sideshow to the Spaniard, who was busily planning for his first moves in the job. He had long since carried out a detailed audit on Everton’s squad."
