Would they not want Klopp too?


It’s just weird. It’s not like Benitez is a born and bred Liverpool fan, he’s just doing his job.

Klopp is, or at least was, a lot more likeable than Benitez. Probably seen as more in touch with the modern game also. I still think a lot of Everton fans wouldn't be happy if Klopp was appointed, but certainly not to the same extent as Benitez.

Just a symptom of our league...every team wants instant results, so want proven successful managers (us being the exception obviously, and also the massive blindspots some teams have for PFMs...looking at you West Ham/WBA/Crystal Palace), rather than letting younger ones develop to that level.

If Levy wants a manager that gives him no hassle, takes all the pressure off , will accept any player put in front of him and will keep them exactly where they are now, he has to look at Bruce.

If Luke or Alex is reading this can I ask you to check with bacon boy that his mobile is fully charged and not on silent?!

 

Considering how good a job he's done here he should be having to hire a PA to handle all the clubs calling.

Would you take guardiola if he was available in 12 months time?

City aren't our fiercest rivals, and I would be torn. As of now I wouldn't want him or Klopp. While they were at Dortmund and Barcelona I'd have desperately wanted them.

Context though isn't it....don't recall Guardiola ever disparaging Man Utd in any notable fashion. Plus objectively he's very good.

 

We didn't not want Bruce because he was a Sunderland manager. We didn't want him as everyone could see from his entire career that he would be a walking disaster...both from his results and the obviousness of his duplicit nature. Obviously being Sunderland manager didn't help his cause with an element of our fans, but even taking that spell out of his career he was still pretty much completely unwanted.

Why is he more likeable, he comes across as a spoilt bellend, Rafa doesn't.

What is being in touch with the modern game mean?

 

Rafa is as tactical as they come, his style may not be an all out counter pressing style, but footballing philosophies don’t all have to be about attack.

I feel like a lot of you forget what Benitez was like at Liverpool, which is fine as you only started giving him a ton of attention once he became your manager. Far, far from the nicest man in football. :lol:

Never said they did. 

 

Mourinho is as tactical as they come too. 

 

I don't mind Benitez, I really don't, but we're not seriously going to sit here and pretend he plays attractive football are we? 

 

He's more than good enough for the job, but it's clear as day why Everton don't want him.

Apart from the facts thing, which he was right about, and calling Everton a small cloob (who gives a fuck).

I mean, this whole discussion started because Everton fans don't want him, so I'd say Everton fans give a fuck. :lol:

I understand Everton fans not wanting him due to the small club comment and his Liverpool connections. That forum was full of people claiming he's not good enough for them though, alongside a bucket of casual xenophobia. The nerve of Everton fans to be saying he hasn't won enough trophies in recent years.

The thing is, the reason we despise Bruce has nowt to do with him managing Sunderland.

 

It's because he's just a shit manager, and disrespects the club, fans and city.

 

He wouldn't even be hated for being shit, but it's the way he goes on, playing down expectations and treating the club as a joke, his snide childish comments, etc.

 

He's a fucking big baby.

I do find it odd how unlike other well established foreign managers his nationality is used so much against him, maybe it's just a hangover from when it was more acceptable but it doesn't ever seem to be a thing when talking about RE: Wenger, Klopp, Mourinho etc. Not like he's from some footballing backwater either. 

 

I get it for why it's a thing for overt nationalist narrative pushers in the media like TalkSport, The Sun, Telegraph and Heil and for small time knackers like the mackems but for a PL club that isn't Burnley is does seem a bit off.

 

Same would apply for any club. Everton have more than enough reason to not want him without him being Spanish being an issue. Maybe they're harking back to the days when they used to sing about being an all white team.
