Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

Carlo is the type of manager you want if you are an established top 3 side and want to push on and win the league.

Rafael is the type of manager you want if you are a top 10 side building a project who need to get in to Europe.

Maybe 20 years ago.

The only thing he's got a hunger for now is a plate of paella.

Ancelotti came across as very passive and disinterested at times. Benitez has shown more interest in Everton in a couple of weeks being here than Ancelotti did in 18 months.

If Ancelotti didn't teach you that every manager is going to lie in press conferences then there's no hope for you.

Funny reading people saying "You'll change your opinions if he wins us a trophy".

We are on a 25 year drought going on 30. If Carlo Ancelotti couldn't fix that then Benitez definitely isn't going to do it.

He's here to bring us the same midtable finishes we have had for decades with the added bonus of being an odious kopite nobhead. What's not to love?

do you know Crosby?

Utter utter scum

Shut up lad

When was the last time a top 10 club gave him that job?

Doesn't seem like any of them have wanted him for 7-8 years despite being the best in the world at building top 10 clubs.

His last 2 jobs were a relegation threatened Newcastle and some random Chinese club. I wouldn't say the Top 10 clubs who need to get into Europe wanted him as there are loads of those and nobody but us was daft or desperate enough to give him a job.

Now why is that?

I could be misplaced with my optimism but I think Benitez said a lot of the right things. If he Brings us a cup in any form this season it would be a huge deal for us. COYB!

Yep, that's why Dalian have signed him. They badly needed to get in to Europe.

Not arsed what anyone thinks either.
Hope the fat mess loses every game and is fired from a cannon back across the river before September is done

One thing he won’t get is time he already has the majority of the fan base on his case. I want him out as quick as anyone, it’s a really poor decision by the board to think this is going to end well.

Lose 3 in a row and even the ones wearing the mask will cave in.

I don't take anything managers say in pressers seriously. There's only one indication of success and that is winning football matches.

That's the type of job, Benitez hasn't done in decades.

There isn’t a manager who goes to a new club and says the wrong things! It’s all scripted along with the questions they will be asked

Everton tried a lot of managers... You can see the results. Koeman, Ancelotti....etc.

If you aren't aware, Napoli came calling for Rafael twice during his Newcastle tenure, but he refused to ditch NU at that point of time.

Valencia regrets, Napoli regrets....

Having 7 teams above us in terms of quality and stability, and the only man who can take up the challenge and do better is Rafael. He can do better with a decent budget.

You want Jose, Ancelotti or Conte, you have to spend big bucks... Tuchel wants Haaland for 150mn. You want a younger manager, but they don't have the expertise, most of them were one season wonders.

Nor did he paint any rosy pictures or make false promises like European spots etc. etc.

Not a chance he wouldn't have left Newcastle to go back to Napoli.

Absolute nonsense. He'd have been gone quicker than Ancelotti left here.
