"Rafa Benitez to Everton ‘gone quiet’ with club yet to offer contract but former Liverpool manager still an option despite fan protests at Goodison Park" The new title

He's still an option according to the article. Just "gone quiet" but do note they've changed it in the last 10 minutes as it was "off" before https://talksport.com/football/899024/rafa-benitez-everton-next-manager-off-liverpool-fan-protests/

I've convinced myself it isn't happening, to save the disappointment later. We don't get good things and if we do, they don't last. Knowing our luck PIF would probably withdraw a year or two in for some unforeseen circumstance and send us down the leagues! That little bit of faith is what the positive thread is which is why I'm not at all annoyed by it. Manifesting...

Always loved Football Insider

CAT case does because the Competition Act allows you to seek three types of claims. Damages, claims of any other sum of money (relief) and a claim for an injunction. He's asked for all three of course. Whereas the PL arbitration is solely whether, using section A of the O+D test to apply the definitions of "director" and "control" would the KSA become a shadow director of Newcastle. From the High Court judgment which sets out the PL position: “… PIF expressly recognises that it will fall within the definition of “Director” under [PLL’s] Rules, even though it would not be formally appointed as a director of [NUFC]. [PLL] agrees. Having taken external legal advice, [PLL] is also provisionally minded to conclude that KSA would become a Director under the Rules as well. Pursuant to [Section A], the definition of “Director” includes any “Person” (as defined under [Section A]) that will have “Control” over [NUFC] (as defined in [Section A]). [PLL] has accordingly been considering the scope of those two words, “Person” and “Control”, under the Rules. The definition of “Person” under [Section A] includes “any … legal entity”. [PLL]’s provisional view is that KSA … is a legal entity under English law. As such, it is a Person under the Rules, and thus capable of being a Director. (If you disagree, [PLL] would welcome a reasoned explanation) (sent to the club)

"Materially identical issues" covered by PL arbitration, which begins within the next 6 weeks or so

Local media seem to think they'll decide over the weekend before appointing someone early next week. Moshiri knows the hostile reception but he's still favourite apparently. Meanwhile

It's quiet again. Wonder if Moshiri's reconsidering on the back of the public reception

Fair enough. It was definitely down for a bit because people had pictures!

Relegated because we didn't pick up more points than Sunderland post March 11th. We had 13, they had 14. 13 points gave us the 10th highest actual points in the division from his appointment until the end of the season, if only we gave him more time.

I can never fault Rafa's desire for a challenge, he's had some crazy ones. But it does come at a cost to his reputation! Remember when he was hours away from signing at West Ham before Real Madrid came calling? I do respect former top-tier (perhaps he still could be) managers not picking the easy option

This is the Everton local media

Can Everton have a sudden change of heart too?

In pile other sources to confirm

For the non-translators: Fonesca to Spurs is troubled by financial arrangements (even if contract is verbally agreed), so they're trying to work with Gattuso instead

Bruce shouldn't have lasted the 19/20 season let alone this last one!

Hodgson to Favre is a great leap up. Like our McClaren to Rafa

They could still waver, but looks like Palace are the ones going for it atm

All falling apart for Everton

Everton now begging for Favre judging by their fans. I'd rather him than Rafa went there tbf
