New Everton Manager

[Kev The Rat]

No they won’t

As fans We’ve hounded out much less divisive managers in the past.

Benitez doesn’t stand a chance here.

 

[MrGrumpy]

A majority of blues would rather damage team moral, they're a toxic little bunch.

Why do u want him?

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Why do u want him?

Because i really love those ill fitted suits he wears.

Mancini will be another Ancelotti.

Very good with good teams and very poor with the rubbish we have.

So like Benitez in his last 2 jobs?

The players will down tools within weeks as well.

Stupid appointment

 

[MartSlinger]

The whole ‘You fans dont want him because of his Liverpool links’ is a load of shabite.

The majority of fans would accept Brendan Rodgers as EFC Manager. They’d accept it because he represents a strategy, a long term thought.

Benitez REEKS of short term, just like Koeman, Allardyce & Ancelotti.

I’m not a fan of Benitez as a man but the guy has won the Champions League, the FA Cup and La Liga (TWICE). He’s been to TWO European Cup finals, obviously winning one of them. He also recently won the Europa League and established Newcastle in the Premier League with the smallest budget in the league before they inevitably went down.

Would Potter, with his 25% win rate, be better?

Every kopite I know is fuming at the prospect of him joining us, which can only be a good thing.

So a couple of sentimental Liverpool fans you know are fuming? Who gives a toss seriously? I’m sure they don’t care in the great scheme of things, not like it’s going to affect them is it?

What would the reaction to the appointment of Benitez be if he had never managed Liverpool?

Would it be the same as when we appointed Carlo ? , which was overwhelmingly positive.

Carlo was/is as much an over the hill manager as Benitez and for me that is the concern but I felt that Carlo had enough knowledge, experience and respect in the game that he would improve us substantially, I still believe that would have happened.
How can I make a different argument about Benitez ?

It all comes back to the Liverpool connection and in particular one two minute interview which he gave in a fit of anger and frustration.
I don't want him because it would be a very divisive appointment splitting the support base and initially at least creating a bad atmosphere at the club. There is also of course the risk that he is actually well past his sell by date, but then every appointment is a risk anyway as we certainly have found out 5o our cost.

I think Moshiri has made the decision that he wants managers with experience and pedigree to spend the money he is investing as far too much has already been wasted.

Of course, if Benitez is appointed and we are lucky enough that he dramatically improves the fortunes of our club it will be the ultimate sickened for the fans of our neighbouring club.

Everybody has an opinion about this and I respect that, I certainly am not trying to change the mind of anybody else just trying to clarify my own thoughts about where we are.
This is my thought process and some idiot trying to insult it will not change it.
But, anybody giving a reasoned disagreement is more than welcome.

I can understand the parallels you've drawn to Ancelotti mate but I actually think Benitez is closer to Pelligrini by way of comparison - who i also wouldn't be happy with.

Ultimately, like you, I just want the team to do well. Benitez being the manager wouldn't cheapen a trophy win for example. And I would still support the team obviously. I just don't rate him as a manager anymore. And the Liverpool connection is clearly unhelpful, but I suspect would be less of an issue if we were after brendan Rodgers for example.

Short term tends to work for Chelsea.

Without the RS connection I still would have been disappointed.
He seems like a manager way past his best and outdated tactically.
I have never looked at a FSW team and thought that I wanted Everton to play that way,
The RS connection is just a bloody twist of the knife.

Where do you get the substance from that statement. Have you spoken to all the players. Do you think they are all as stupid as some if the posters here

We’re not Chelsea. We dont have the ability the spend like they do - nor do we have the players they’ve had over the years.

 

[MrGrumpy]

We won win 5 games, the players won’t play for him or give him 100% they know the fans don’t want him and he be gone before Christmas if he last that long

They players downed tools on Carlo there certain ain’t gonna give anything to a manager that no blue wants and will be sacked within months

I’m sure it could work for Man City as well, but we don’t have players of that quality to be able to win trophies.
We need rebuilding (again) so is he the guy to do that?
