    It seems that no one wants to manage in the premier League at the moment. I'm guessing for foreign managers the covid situation will have an affect as they don't know whether or not they would have to isolate going back and forth.

    It's more to do with money I think. Favre wasn't happy with the transfer budget he would have been working with.

    I was talking in general. 3 teams are without a manager and all have been snubbed my multiple foreign managers.

    I think Palace are in big trouble next year due to instability in squad and manager recruitment.

    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.

    Vieira confirmed as Crystal Palace.

    I have no idea what to make of that.

    This feels like De Boer all over again.

    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

    Decent appointment for Everton. Rafa could do better though.
