The training facility's are probably third division standard, It will take years to get a decent team of doctors physio sports scientist etc together. Even a top physio would shy away from working for us. How can you look after top athletes when the facility's are just so crap. You tempt them with your vision, your dream for the club. You invite them on the journey (you pay them accordingly) If that doesn’t grab them, then they can fuck off, and they shouldn’t cry tears when it all clicks into place. Not if, but when it all clicks into place ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a convenience to this for all parties concerned, Everton can save face with it being an unpopular appointment, Rafa can say the club made it clear the option was on the table and would be happy for him to go and we get our man Edited October 28, 2021 by Thumbheed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton just need to be sure they can line someone up at short notice that will be good enough for their aspirations, then they could release Rafa to being bought in by us.

If such a scenario was likely, Unsworth is out of a job… I’d imagine in all seriousness, Big Dunc might get his chance more permanently or they’d try and go after Moyes again.

New Beginnings Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Sick of 'trusting the process' now tbh! The group have had ages to target who they want for both positions!

Chris_R Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 If (and it's a massive "if") we're in for Benitez, Everton will demand full whack for his contract. And rightly so. There's no reason for them to help us out when they know we're keen, they know he won't walk away, and we have (in their opinion) unlimited money and aspirations to replace them in the top half of the table sooner rather than later.

Toon No9 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I think it's still Jones in charge for Brighton. A new manager to come in at the end of next week. That will give him the international break to get some time with the players before his first game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat chance of that happening now! You "Fully expected"? - I didn't realise the consortium were required to report in to you? These things take time. Negotiations are complex. Who would you go for? And they haven't had "ages", the takeover came out of the blue when they were expecting nothing to happen until at least next year. No point having names lined up now when things can and will change so much by then. I'd far rather we took the time to get the right person in, rather than rush things, get the wrong person, and get relegated just so that your "expectations" are met.

Id go all out for my number 1 target. This should have been decided within a few days. If this would have happened we'd have got wind, so it obviously hasn't. Apart from the Fonseca name, its been silence and speculative. Im genuinely concerned that they don't know what they are doing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hag Farvre Fonseca Gerrard Chris Wilder: Appointed! Off topic, but are you normally a ‘glass half empty’ sort of chap per chance? we’ve had to wait (yes, WAIT) for over two YEARS (if not double that) to get the club sold. Now you’re stressing because the club hasn’t filled the managers position in the last two weeks since they’ve been here? Relax- it’ll get done. And it won’t be Wilder.
