I was talking in general. 3 teams are without a manager and all have been snubbed my multiple foreign managers.
In the previous 20 seasons, Everton have finished in the top ten 14 times, but in the top 4 only once. The one time they qualified for the Champions League, in 05/06, they were beaten in the qualifying rounds by Villareal (in both legs!), so never even made the group stages. Funny that Everton is an anagram of Not Ever. Can you name a more boring football club? - I think not. They should be grateful for a manager like Benitez.
Or any other parts of him. I happened to stand next to him once when I was at a conference in the hotel next to the Arsenal training ground. I was in the foyer looking for the next place we had to go, and him snd David Seaman were in there too for some reason. Seaman is just tall, but Vieira is gigantic!
So Everton get Benitez and Spurs on verge of Nuno after interviewing every manager in the world. Remember when people were worried Ralph would be top of other clubs wish lists
I think he’s a decent manager, but the fact they’ve appointed him is ludicrous to me. its like if Alex Ferguson went Liverpool or City or something. Just shows Everton the “massive club” with “history” are tinpot
I get it’s not quite to that level. But Rafa is huge in Liverpool history for Istanbul, the FA cup and calling Everton a small club… and now they’ve appointed him. Its just a barmy decision for me. If I was an Everton fan I don’t think I’d renew a season ticket. I thought Redknapp appointment was unforgivable for us, and I think Benitez is unforgivable for them
