If it comes to Bruce still being in charge when we next face them, although I hate Everton, I couldnt bear for us to win, even a draw would see Bruce claiming he was as good as "the mighty" Rafa, ugh!

Ashley17 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I get it in terms of his location but he’s been through all this at Chelsea, why put yourself through it again? Judging from Twitter and their forum he’s going to be on the back foot immediately, a bad start and it’ll be very difficult to win them around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 And people have the nerve to call us deluded!! Everton have been in the wilderness for years and they’d rather stay there than appoint a proven winner because of a previous job he succeeded in. Fucking weapons!

nbthree3 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 They're using China to justify him being past it. But in China you had a foreign player cap, and the standard of that league isn't something you can easily shape through tactics - he was heavily reliant on inexperienced youth in his full season so of course results would be poorer. Treat it as a new challenge with absolute ambition from Dalian's owner (250 million worth training ground, 14 pitches). Was a step up honestly for wanting a project. Often 1 goal margin defeats like was the case here in 18/19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bloody depressing at the minute. Only thing left for me now is to see what the result of arbitration is. If as expected, it goes against us, its goodbye NUFC and football from me. Literally cant be arsed with the pile of shit football club ashley has turned us into and cant be arsed to support a club denied the chance to be able to compete again by the premier league. It's completely pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Shite appointment for him and Everton. Doubt it’ll last the season. Just like moving to China, I said it then and I’ll say it again Rafa’s motivations aren’t as clear as he makes out. No doubt he’ll mention the word ‘project’ but really he means convenience and very good money. I don’t begrudge him that, I’d do the same, just won’t be fooled by what comes next.

Menace Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) The people in here trying to justify the China job as a "project" he came back cause he missed his family too much right? This is living proof why you should never get too attached to a player/manager. Loyalty in football doesn't exist.

Fantail Breeze Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 It’s a no-brainer from his point of view. Ambitious owners with deep pockets. He could turn Everton into a decent force. Hopefully his first purchase is a decent goalkeeper. Wish him well but it’s sickening. If we do get taken over I think I’d prefer a young-ish manager with potential to grow with us.

His family lives in Liverpool, so taking the Everton job is fairly obvious for him from a personal perspective I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 1 hour ago, HTT II said: RE takeover stuff, I wouldn’t read too much into Rafa joining another club other than NUFC, I’m pretty sure from what I’ve heard Eddie Howe is the consortium’s first choice and the likes of Conte were ahead of Rafa in their choice anyway! Good look to him either way, such a shame we let such an opportunity of having a world-class manager in the dugout go to absolute waste, sums Ashley, up the cunt! Would have thought Rafa was up there on the list, but just because Staveley is a big fan due to her Liverpool links, there was no guarantee everyone else in the takeover group was sharing that view. Rafa would have been a good choice, but given the style of football he prefers, a different manager will bring other advantages. I know some don't rate Howe, but I like the way his teams play, and same goes for Conte even if he is a bit precious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
