Me too. Mad I know, but just think it will.

Said from the start I think it will be fine. Give him the cash and it will be good. He started out enjoying Liverpool FC and had success there, but think he's genuinely in love with football and the city of Liverpool.

Southgate got England into their first final in 55 years, so anything is possible

Too professional? And Koeman, Allardyce, Silva, Ancelotti were all amateurs? They will see him off just like all of his predecessors and this time it will be much easier.

It'd be pure Everton.
I mean, I know this ain't going to be a popular opinion, but I would laugh my head off if he won the FA cup with us. The least popular managerial appointment on our history who ended a trophy drought. You couldn't make it up.

I am a bit of an optimist and get this feeling with most managers, but have been quietly impressed with how Benitez has gone about things early doors.
I have listened and read a lot about him since hes came, a lot from Liverpool fans. While a lot is rubbish, what comes up a lot is hes a man who's not going to be bothered what Everton, or Liverpool fans think of him. Hes quite clinical and obsessive about trying to win.
While I cant really stand the man personally, it would be hypocritical of me not to say I dont have a respect for those things as I do.
I dont think it will be pretty, or entertaining but can see it being effective. In fairness I was calling for this most of last season, so if he delivers that, I will give him his props.
What I'd also say, is it's kind of strange having a manager that you dont really like, but who you are just able to look at and say- show me what you've got then. That's where I am at. Theres no illusions. We can be understated and I think that suits as a club and probably suits this group of players.
The one caveat I'd add is what happened to Sam Allardyce. By the end the fans made the position untenable. He has to avoid that at all costs. A good start will be key.

True. We have become incredibly dull. This is a step in the right direction.

Just see what happens. He will do well to be worse than the last few.

Same here. I think he is going to be shrewd in his work with the players and we'll see improvement in the character of the team.
The fact that he badly wanted to be at Everton inspite of all protests shows that he is up for the task even with all the pressure.

This is what makes me think he will succeed. Parading the premier League trophy around goodison whilst being booed and shoes being thrown at him
