New Everton Manager

[Ruairi77]

Duncan Ferguson will be kept on after telling Benitez “you’ll be keeping me on son”.

which is probably a reason not to keep Duncan Ferguson on.

Hmmmm..,, those sharp object looking pretty attractive now eh?

I don’t for a moment believe Kenwright was the one championing him

 

[AmericasToffee]

I covered a Newcastle game where he played 6 centre mids. 6.

Better than playing a midfield with Gomes and Davies and Sigurdsson.

If Benitez does a job, that's all I care about. The stature of the club and long term aims are all I care about.

But he won’t.

Steve Bruce gets more out of Newcastle than Benitez did.

We could try a more expansive approach where we don't lose our minds at every setback. But that requires having a plan, which we don't, so why not bring in a succession of managers who won't finish in any position of trouble or great note.

Finding one is the trick,other than offering a daft contract we aren't going to get anyone with a track record of success. New stadium doesn't mean anything,it's just another stop on the merry-go-round.

"On June 10, 2010, the same day he was confirmed as Inter Milan's new manager, Rafael handed over a cheque for £96,000 to the Hillsborough campaign."

"After so many years fighting for justice I am really pleased to see the verdict, which confirms what we have been saying for a long time,” he said.
“I am especially pleased for the families of the 96 who have sought justice for so long and with such dignity, as well as for the people of Liverpool and for football fans in general."

"On two separate occasions, Montse Benitez has paid for 40 Merseyside children to go on dream holidays - as part of her generous support for grieving or disadvantaged children across the region."

"Liverpool FC's former manager Rafael Benitez has donated an undisclosed amount to the Rhys Jones Memorial Fund.
His cash injection will help build the new community centre in memory of the 11-year-old who was shot dead in Croxteth in 2007.
The new Inter Milan boss arranged for a cheque to be delivered to the Jones family on Thursday.
Mr Benitez said: "In all my time at Liverpool this is one of the stories that affected me most."
Rhys Jones was gunned down while walking home from football training through the Croxteth Park Estate.
His killer Sean Mercer was convicted two years later after a lengthy police investigation and scores of arrests of gang members across Liverpool.

Mr Benitez added: "I am doing this on behalf of the people that cannot. I know that every person on Merseyside would have loved to give the fund a donation but they are in hard times and can't find the extra cash."

But, ho hum, he called Moyes a small club manager because he plated dour football.

What's any of that got to do with anything? Nobody said he was a serial killer or the personification of evil. He's just currently not a very good manager and he's automatically on the back foot with our fans because he repeatedly acted like a tit towards them which means the fans will turn on him in a heartbeat. Not a great starting point for any manager.

If you can't see it's a terrible fit then I don't know what anyone can do to help you out, fella.

Horrendous appointment

 

[Lob]

Defo Benitez then. He literally did the same thing just before we appointed Carlo and then we appointed him.

 

[MikeH72]

Are you? pretending like you follow benitez every match?

Lad I was watching Benitez’s teams stinking their way to 0-0’s when you probably didn’t know what football was.

Rational, but not the popular sentiment.

I'm under no illusions that I'm a tit.

I'm not however, a kopite pretending to be an Everton fan.

No, you certainly aren't coming across as one!

Apologies for calling you a tit, bit worked up at the min. Alan myers tweet has slightly relieved me though.

 

[Ruairi77]

Look at the list of realistic candidates and tell me who is better.

I have Galtier possibly, Conte definitely and... nobody else.

Whoever comes in is on to a hiding after Ancelotti, as they're all inferior on paper. Benitez is experienced at least, so has a chance to deal with that after experiencing this before at Madrid and Chelsea, and if it goes wrong I maintain it's better to have Ancelotti and Benitez as your last two managers than the no marks we're linked with. It's about perception.

I genuinely think there is a lot of better managers out there.
We're a top team in the best league in the world.
Benitez is a lazy appointment.

Met a bird from Wilmslow on a night out in Manchester (after a UFC event), she had size 11 feet and skiddy knickers. Ruthless lid. Found pubes stuck to a candle in her bathroom as well.
