Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[Bob Elstone]

He didn't reccomend Benitez. You forget the sh t show he walked into.
How many managers has he had to deal with?
Who is in charge at Everton in reality?
I don't think anyone knows. But to lay it all at his door is myopic at best, in the same way players don't suddenly become bad overnight, unless they sign for us, neither does Brands.

He paid 35m for iwobi, that’s a hanging offence in anyone’s book

Potterball - finished 16th last season and has won 1 in last 9 this season

Lampard - had the current champions of europe 9th after spending £250 million

Gallardo - hipster who wont leave the comfort zone of S. America where Funes Mori looked like Beckenbauer.

Anorim - Silva MRKII

Fonesca - done nothing outside of the biggest club in Ukraine

Ohhhh Im so excited to see what any of this lot could do with this squad of ours!

We got 59 past year. Why would a drop off of 20 points be acceptable

No but I'd take it right now

 

[EFCccc]

Benitez isn’t the problem. If we sack him
And replace him we will still be talking about the same problems and the same crap on that field every single week in no time at all. This goes past Benitez, and the higher ups need sacking. Every single player at our club bar 2 are crap. None of them are going to get us higher than 10th, Carlo knew this and left.

I gave him plenty of leniency for the situation he walked into, however he's had three years to turn that situation on its head yet he's made it even worse. He's run us preposterously close to breaking Premier League rules on accumulated losses thanks to his dreadful purchases and non-existent sales.

Why was Steve Walsh never afforded the same good will from supporters for his tenure. The narrative for many on here seems to be that Walsh was a bumbling buffoon who was 100% responsible for all the disaster that occurred while he was here yet Brands is a shackled genius who has Moshiri and Kenwright meddling with his every move.

Yet Brands was appointed to the board, Walsh was not. Brands was given a new contact, Walsh was fired from a cannon. Yet Walsh had complete autonomy and Brands does not? Sorry, doesn't wash with me.

The question is not "how did he turn bad overnight?", but rather, "Was he ever good to begin with?" And the answer, as it is so often with our players, is a resounding NO.

It doesn’t matter. A lot of the players need moving on.

Is the correct answer

Potter then? only the 'big 6' conceded less goals than Brighton last season, some say he's another Martinez, that couldn't be further from the truth.

Brighton have actual professionals playing for them who want to make a career as premier league footballers. Does anyone seriously think these players will respect Graham Potter? They’ll be laughing on their WhatsApp group and making predictions of how quickly they’ll have him out and whether Marcel will give them a new contract at any point during the chaos. This is what they do.

It's not . You can get rid of the manager and players . Doesn't have to be one or the other

 

[Abertonian]

Bill's the man for the job. Prematch team talks as a bag of werther's originals is passed around the dressing room. Sending them out to the pitch with the boy's pen passion to lift their spirits.

He's got experience putting on shows. This one would be a s*@tshow and then we can finally get rid of him at last during the inevitable slide down the table.

 

[Earwigjoe]

Choi Kang-hee hes the mighty Dalian pro new manager and it looks like hes doing a better job than the loveable Benitez did. He looks a bit of a disciplinarian too.

Have you access to the WhatsApp group ?

Perhaps, but anything will be an improvement on Benitez.

Brands needs to go with Benitez though. If we are going to stick with the DoF role then let's get someone who isn't a mile out of their depth with it.

Maybe at this exact second - but looking at the bigger picture none of those managers will see Brands/the rotten core in our dressing room chased whereas Benitez will and has form for it.

Be a massive mistake by the board to sack him.

 

[MACCA75]

We’d get Nuno I would imagine.
