Everton thread 2020/21

Good appointment, he'll keep them up next season.

That's the vote of confidence needed I agree , when was the last time they were relegated?

Funny if an ex Liverpool manager was in charge if they do.

I don't think they do relegation, do they? It's going to be damn boring for the poor fans next season, that's for sure.

can't see the dippers taking this well...

Good luck to him with The Toffees

There will be a fair amount of piss boiling on murkeyside as we speak

As long as they take 6 points off Liverpool and he sticks it to them in doing so all is well.

Under Benitez they will play 11 behind the ball and not dare to cross the half way line against anybody half decent. A grim season ahead for Evertonians, if he lasts that long. A bad start and the fans could chase him off by Christmas

Am hoping I can raise a glass to him leaving in caseys in October!!!

We all know fans are fickle to say the least but I can't see him doing anything that would get most of our fans behind him. Would have sooner have seen a younger manager who wanted to make a stamp on the game and try some new ideas. But it is what it is and you support the team whatever.

Good call. Really rate the Spanish Waiter.

Always thought he was overly negative at Newcastle and if I was an Evertonian I wouldn't be too happy although if he does well I suppose he'll be 'accepted' albeit begrudgingly. Like City, Everton will always be a big and proud club and I wouldn't want an ex u****d manager coming anywhere near us if he'd made similar snide comments

I think Ancelotti apart( and even he had his doubters), from Moyes onwards every appointment as manager has divided our fanbase. So Benitez even with his liverpool connections is not unique in that. Some will never forgive him that, personally I don't care if I thought he could do a good job. My concerns are he is nearing the end of a successful career rather than beginning one.

i think he'l be ok for you not a massive profile manager now and also not an unknown, he's an upgrade to Ole down the road and certainly one of the top 8 managers now in the prem, if you can put away the Liverpool connections i think you might get a pleasant surprise once he settles in

Feel sorry for the fans.
No ambition from him against the top teams.Everton will be turned into Newcastle.

Watch out for the full kit wankers in red on Cardiac Hill…

Personally I would take him as the shortlist was hardly inspiring and unless Conte went for it he is the best options.
Our fans are fuming about it generally. As someone said it's like mancini going to united after all he did for you.

I would have thought the thinking would be that he was hailed a messiah at Newcastle, and elephant man Bruce hated and wanted sacked, yet Bruce had a better record........your actually getting someone who in his last job was worse than Steve Bruce!!

Was he the manager at Newcastle when Shelvey shot from the kick off and then they all dropped back 20 yards?

.....unlike yourself, as soon as you draw a game, a large percentage will not be behind him, tbf he'll struggle to be accepted if he gets 4th (which he won't get within a million miles of)....same as Hughes.

 

[eastmanc]

I wouldn’t be that excited if I was an Everton fan. His style of football is appalling.

I think that most Everton fans think of him as the Spanish Wanker.
