HaydnNUFC Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 He made a mistake taking that job. He's right sort of manager for a club like Everton, a club like us, et cetera. But the LFC connection just wouldn't be ignored, its naive if anyone thought otherwise. Nevertheless, performances seem really poor there, the defending yesterday after being 2-1 up with 12 minutes left was absolutely abysmal, their performance v West Ham was poor, as was at Villa. Once the going gets tough, and it seems like it is starting to, there's no coming back for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Always finishes strongly, mind. If they give him the season they'll be back to being conflicted about the whole Liverpool connection Vs. the decent job he's doing, as was the case in the opening half a dozen games.

cosmic Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 2 hours ago, Jackie Broon said: It doesn't look like it's going to turn around any time soon, the limit is a total loss of £105m over three seasons. Their past three accounts showed: 17/18 £13m loss 18/19 £112m loss 19/20 £140m loss (doesn't count towards FFP due to Covid) So unless they make a big profit this year that 18/19 loss is also going to keep them from spending next season. But, those losses are not just from transfer fees and the transfer fees are obviously being heavily deferred, even if they're not actually buying players right now they're clearly still paying instalments (£125m liabilities in their most recent accounts) and running at an operating loss excluding player trading. Surprising for Rafa to overlook this point. He was even quoted recently as saying what a big difference to have a Chairman prepared to spend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a tough, stubborn bugger, but without the wave of support like the Newcastle fans and the city have him it will get ugly. We always had faith and believe in him, something he gave to us when going into the championship. A reciprocated love ♥️, that’ll never be the case in his current role.

Decky Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 He has them 8th after 9 games, in fact a win yesterday and they would have been 4th, yet read the shite in that thread on their forum? They’re a joke. They’re very well thought of over here in Ireland and I honestly don’t know why because I’m yet to met an Everton fan who isn’t bitter and deluded. That cliche people say about Newcastle fans thinking we’re a massive club and our expectations are huge, we demand Champions League football etc etc that we know to be bullshit, that shit actually applies to Everton and is 100% true for them.

Dr Venkman Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 The only Everton fan I know personally is very down to earth and reasonable. I’ll never understand how anyone can legitimately think that ascribing personality traits/views to whole swathes of people based on which football team they support is sensible. It’s absolutely mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Couldn't give a flying fuck about Everton tbh. Complete indifference towards them. I actually know a couple of Evertonians in real life they're sound lads, the bizarre quasi hatred they have for us seems to only exist online for whatever reason. And if you judge a fanbase by their online presence, I'd fucking hate us too. On Benitez, whilst I would absolutely love it if he came back, firstly I don't think he would and secondly I want a complete fresh start and that includes Benitez.

Wolfcastle Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Rafa could throw them under the bus for this abuse,for even though every manager gets it, unless they flag it up for sympathy none of these bleeding hearts could care less. Not the type though. Squeeky wheel gets the grease, empty vessels make the most noise, not a self-pitying deflecting c**t etc. Edited October 24, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
