New Everton Manager

[Dixie1sixty]

A shitshow. Animosity now straight away between "Am norrarsed what e said lid" crew and the "FSW" boys.

Fantastic appointment

‘Koff jinky

If he hires Benitez and it falls on its arse, I want Moshiri to sell up

Sod the stadium, just sell up

When it falls on its arse you mean? People can put the positive “you never know” spin on it but actually us fans do know any everybody knows how this is going whether they show it or not.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Given its Jim White breaking the news and he's best mates with Moshiri this looks a goer. Unbelievable appointment destined to fail miserably. The club that keeps on giving

Talk Sport are saying that his first signing will be Jonjo Shelvey.

Now you've gone too far

 

[daza_1973]

We'll be signing Shelvey next

 

[Papa Shango]

As bad as the Kirkby and Allardyce decisions, catastrophic.

Miles worse. Kirkby and Allardyce were at least done out of (supposed) necessity.

If this goes through they have thought long and hard about it!

He has to apologise for that comment in his first presser or he's got zero chance of getting the supporters on board

Benitez: I was right to call Everton a small club

On Merseyside derby day, an exclusive interview with the former Liverpool manager who is desperate to get back into management

www.independent.co.uk

Rafael Benitez has stood by his description of Everton as a "small club", delivered four years ago, insisting that his words related only to David Moyes' side's unambitious display against Liverpool in one fixture.

"I didn't want to be disrespectful to the club. I was talking about the way they were playing, not the club," said the 51-year-old, who in a Merseyside derby day interview with The Independent today expresses his desire to return to the top reaches of management, preferably in the Premier League.


The Spaniard's "small club" comments came after the 0-0 draw at Anfield in February 2007. "When we had the meeting with the manager in the boot room and we were having a drink I explained [to David Moyes] what I meant," said Benitez.

STOP!

 

[diggerdestroyer]

I'm trying to look at this without my Royal Blue specs on as in how would we feel if he had achieved those trophies with for example Spurs and not that shower, would we still not want him?personally I am more concerned that he hasn't done much at all of note the last five/six years.

Ya I agree. That would be my main concern. I'm sure he still is tactically sound but has football moved on from the Rafael,carlo eras

If this goes through they have thought long and hard about it!

And realised there is no better option ...

Erm no. Managers come and go. The stadium is to take us forward for the next hundred years, else we are going to the wall.
