I remember the summer we went down, spotted the great man randomly standing outside of a car with one of his coaches (all kitted up in his shorts too) just off the coast road at Wallsend roundabout. Had my daughter in the car too, and said look it's Rafa! I slowed down so she could give him a massive wave. He smiled and waved right back at her. Made her day it did (and mine). Was such a random place to see him like. It was actually the day we signed Diame and clark, so wonder if they were meeting up with them to take them up to the training ground maye as it isn't far. Doubt he had a flat above the chippy. Anyone else got a spotting story of the main man? Great tale, this. Rafa waiting to introduce Diame to his new rental accommodation on Strawberry Gardens.

Saw him along the top of Jesmond Dene with Fabio Pecchia after the Verona friendly just before the Premier League return season. I was with my lad and we'd been to the game the previous day, and told my son to go and say hello. We followed them for a bit and (they were talking about football naturally) and I introduced myself and Thomas. They were both great and spoke to my lad and asked him about his own football and things like who his favourite player was (think he said Atsu at the time). Absolute gentleman, I vowed I'd never go back under Ashley but bought season tickets for the pair of us the next day after meeting him. He's not perfect but would absolutely love him back here.

Ben Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Right that's it, with all these takeover rumours today and the Everton fans self destruction of their club through spite I'm off in the loft to get my Rafa suit, it's only a matter of time now.

If he was back here, I couldn't imagine my excitement and interest for the players' first day back from the summer break. I imagine he already has a plan in place and ready to go. Heck, he was already spending the day at Everton's training ground on his first day there, probably putting his arrangements out to the club staff. Meanwhile on Monday, Bruce will make the players clear out and clean up the barn behind the our training shelter and make them pull out the wheelie bin for their ice baths. Bet someone will have to go to out and buy some ice cubes for the bin and also a kebab takeaway for the gaffer too.

We’ve stopped using ice cubes, they were too expensive, it’s just plain old cold council tap water these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 You think this is bad? You wait until Bruce flukes a win (or even a draw) against Rafa next season. They’d be able to bottle Edwards’ testosterone and use it as Viagra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Who do we reckon he might come back and get from us? Schar? Dubs? Or Ayoze from Leicester? Edited July 4, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, Ayoze might be a decent bet. He hasn't established himself in the first XI at Leicester and might be available at a decent price. Rafa was a big fan, and is always down to sign a Spaniard or seven... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Reason I asked was although he'll have the backing, he'd be intelligent to spend it wisely as the fans will get on his back if his signings turns out shit. Thus, might get some tried and trusted personnel in. Managers tend to do that. Did Manquillo play under him at Liverpool? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will actually be quite interesting to see how his signings go for Everton considering he's taken a fair bit of criticism at his clubs for some of his recruitment. With Rafa though it's usually about the system rather than the individuals, so the Everton fans will have to show some patience. Although I can imagine he'll fancy his chances working with the likes of Calvin-Lewin and Richarlison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
