Dokko Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 3 minutes ago, Andy said: Pretty inevitable that he'll be sacked shortly after we bring someone else in. Don't think the return is meant to be. Like someone said earlier, throw £5m at Everton tonight and Rafa will be free to talk to us tomorrow morning. It just depends on whether the consortium want to go in that direction or not. I think if he was free from the start or still here then its a very easy decision, but I also think now they've done their own work on looking for a manager they may have been swayed by other candidates and Rafa isn't their No1 now.

Wandy Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I really thought he would win them over but its looking very unlikely now. We cannot afford to wait the next few games to see if he gets the boot. Our new manager needs to be in the stands against Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to managers like Rafa the press lead the charge with the abuse. They were slamming him when we got promoted for being too defensive against Man City, says it all.

Slim Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Dunno why he took the job tbh. Well apart from being close to his family. But yeah I am sure Everton would release him instead paying of his contract Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Mind, that ego on him thinking he could turn Everton fans around. They are every inch mackem like in their rabid hatred for their rivals, it just simply wasn’t going to work. Ever. I say that quite easily with our perceived issues with Bruce and his ties with Sunderland, which in reality was doing to him being one of the worst top flight managers in 100 years.

We need Everton to make the decision for him by sacking him. I’ve seen some unbelievable, inspiring and amazing things in my life but seeing Rafael Benitez Maudes placing his spectacles into his blazer pocket in the home dug out at SJP again would top the fucking lot. Him putting the spectacles in a blue blazer isn't as nice as putting one in a black one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I'd worry how many here would buy back in, considering the reports many we thankful for Bruce, even if they wanted a happy medium by the end. A moot point as he can ship out and bring his own players in. Could be problematic from now to January if he did return if there are too many. A bunch will have a right sulk on. They will be ones first out the door regardless of who the new manager is though. Pretty much those on most people's list of who to keep will buckle down and welcome him with open arms.

Fantail Breeze Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Rafa back at this cloob would be unreal. I’d worry it wouldn’t work, but it’d still be unreal. Imagine him walking in and seeing the likes of Shelvey and Dummett man. Two players he tried to bin two and a half years ago are still kicking a football for us. Agree with others, they’ll bin him shortly after we bring someone in. Edited November 2, 2021 by Fantail Breeze Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa loved Dummett however - a limited defensive full back was one thing he liked having around, good for balance Edited November 2, 2021 by James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
