Would things drastically change if Benitez left tomorrow?

[Clarky cat]

Eddie howes available isn't he? At least that's what I've been reliably informed.

Wow. If you thought the defending was bad at the moment just imagine Uncle Eddie in charge

 

[windymiller]

I’ll be honest, I’m firmly in the ‘they don’t need pussie footing around’ camp.

I wouldn’t massage their ego.

Then you would also lose the dressing room and lose matches.

 

[tommye]

So you really want to risk Duncan’s legend reputation

 

[Zeitgeist]

No, no and no again. Let me check the bottom draw, yep it's a no in there too.

Problem is the players

Not rafas fault Coleman and Keane can't do a basic defensive job anymore

Josh King is not a good player, that is why being beasted by him is embarrassing. He's better than Rondon, mind.

That's my.point, he could of been decent back up, Rondon is agony to watch, but him being at the club is a combination of needing a back up and having no money to spend.
1.7m summer budget, im sure we had more then that back in the Walter Smith days, it's nothing now, and certainly wouldnt bring in a better manager then we got.

 

[kiss the crest]

Not at all as the players will still be here

 

[gonetomorrow]

Big Dunc would be whupping their asses.

 

[larbert toffee]

or support cork city!

I wish he would, don't understand his reverse logic, I support Everton regardless who is in charge.

 

[sageyefc]

I just think Raf needs a fair crack at it. We were paying the best football for years pre-injuries

It was bloody dreadful, we’ve been played of the park in all but 1 game this season, we just had a few good 10 minute spells in the early games where gray would do something or Townsend would score a worldy to get us out the stink. That’s not sustainable

 

[Kev50]

Fair enough, not sure I agree on the football though or blaming injuries.

We started ok, but we were playing poor sides and people got carried away.

no, not true. We were beating Brighton Soton drawing at OT, then once the injuries kicked in losing hand over fist to rubbish like Watford

 

[Kev50]

The sad thing is, whilst I think a manager like Potter might have been tempted to join us in the summer, I don't think that any manager with a brain in his head would join us at this point in time. The pro-Benitez lobby will jump on this with their "I told you so" nonsense but Benitez has clearly been a part of our further decline. If we sack him we would have to look abroad for a progressive manager as any currently plying their trade in England wouldn't touch us with a bargepole.

nonsense. until the injuries kicked in we were doing just fine

Big Dunc would be whupping their asses.

Big Dunc has been assistant manager for how long now? If anything he’s a more consistent theme for our averageness.

I guess so. Perhaps we need a root and branch divorce from the past.
Having said that I wouldn't mind seeing Moyesie back in the hot seat!

 

[RomanReigns]

Absolutely not

You would still have kenwrong giving his two cents on every major thing going on at this club

A director of football who doesn’t direct anything

Ex Everton crappy players being given important jobs and coaching roles at the club

Coleman will still be our right back and will remain captain despite having the same amount of charisma as the cowardly lion in the wizard of oz

Players would still be starting that wouldnt even get on the bench for a league 2 side

Old crap players will be given a chance ahead of talented youth who have something to prove

 

[windymiller]

Alright Kev, we can bask in our glorious victories against Southampton, Burnley, Brighton and Norwich. Still think we're going to qualify for Europe?
