David Weir returning in backroom role

[davek]

I'm not sure it makes any difference if Kenwright, Moshiri and contract Dave fill the void mate.

They wont be. Not where it matters: choosing players.

Honestly? I think the (depressing) answer is likely to be that Brighton is at present a far better run (and likely more stable) club than Everton - particularly for someone doing that sort of role.

Maybe he didn't fancy his chances at cutting it at a bigger club. It happens.

Yes. In which case you'd have to wonder why Weir turned down the chance to work again at Everton.

IMO it's highly likely Benitez offered him a job he COULD refuse.

Nothing else explains it.

Maybe just maybe he accepted the interview, met Benetiz, did some research himself, spoke to people he respects in the game and decided that long term he didn't want to work for that whopper Benetiz, so turned it down based on the current manager.....

….well done, I always thought he was a good professional with the right values. His family still live locally (Warrington) so there must’ve been a very strong reason for him to turn this opportunity down.

Weir clearly didn’t want to work for Benitez.

I worry Moshiri will see it differently.

DAVEY Weir is one of us

He hates the fat bellend as well

I worry Moshiri will see it differently.

No reason to think he won't. He's got previous. He was ok overruling 2 people, he'll have no issue doing it to 1.

Who are the muppets in this situation, it could be many people!

Kenwright and his clique.

I hope the conversation went something like this

“Hi David, Rafael here. Would you like to come work for me”

“Koff ye kopite ball bag, only wools and kopites support you”

Could it be that he applied and didnt get the job, no more "jobs for the boys"..... We are looking at someone more professional...

I dont know that, just putting another perspective

…I think the reports suggest he was offered the job but turned Benitez down.

Benitez is a control freak. He's loyal to his yes me... Sorry team that follow him from club to club.

The more likely scenario for me: Benitez meets Weir, has a cup of tea with him at FF; asks him how good he is at laying down cones; Weir cant lay them down quick enough to impress Benitez; Benitez says "adios, El Streako of Pisso"

The End.

Pretty sure his role was not going to involve coaching sessions so that would be a pretty daft question for Benitez to ask.
