nbthree3 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Media and Everton fans are unanimously against him, it's a very, very brave move for Rafa. It'll be such a shame that we're one of the few fanbases to still respect him, but there is a noticeable amount who dismiss his achievements now time has passed. You get the clueless lot anywhere though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishops Finger Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Bit gutted if Rafa goes to Everton but tbh it's exactly what he's been looking for. The owners will back him and it's already a half decent squad to build on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 If the takeover happens, we'll get someone better. If it doesn't, he's never returning anyway. Meh, we'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennyBlanco Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Right club in many ways but the fans won’t forgive his success at Liverpool. I’m a bit gutted we couldn’t get this takeover over the line in time to offer him a chance to return. Never say never though - he may back one day.

They mirror the mackems quite a lot - always been in the shadow of their closest rival and they can’t cope with it. Gives them a massive complex, as that thread shows.

ATF Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The sheer bloody mindedness of going for this job. Rafa's made some odd career choices but as with many top coaches there is such a level of self-belief and will to win that sometimes a job that appears to be a poisoned chalice is exactly the sort of one they take. Nobody feels completely immune to criticism that comes their way but a coach like Rafa has such a thick skin and confidence in himself that taking these jobs (Inter straight after the Mourinho treble, Chelsea, Newcastle under this ownership) doesn't faze him. This is the mentality of a winner even though it appears to every outsider like a misguided move. And maybe it is misguided. Put me in Rafa's position and I wouldn't go anywhere near it. But he's thinking of the potential if he pulls it off. Booing won't bother him. Calls for his head... "eh I've had those before". Criticism of decisions or maybe style of play..."they'll sing when we're winning". It could easily blow up in his face. It may spell the end of him in England. But on some level I have to admire the mentality behind it. There's a family tie because he lives there and most probably there are Evertonians, especially those who know him, who have met him over the years he's lived there and with the charity work he's been involved with, who will support him. So it definitely won't be all negative. But even if it was, I still think he'd take it. He doesn't chase the safe jobs does he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
