It seems only yesterday they were calling us a small club, pinching our manager and boasting about their 'war chest' with which they would rule the football world. Funny old game.

Thats a laugh. Barely a rivalry to speak of between Liverpool and Everton. You have countless examples of families up there where one son supports Liverpool and the other supports Everton and they all sit in amongst each other on "derby" days. Name any other rivalry in the country where this is the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent mangers can get relegated. Someone has to relegated and circumstances are often beyond the control of a manager - inheriting a shit squad and shit youth system for starters.

I'm sure he'll win some over after the inevitable 3 points they'll get on the opening day of the season. I agree, he's a good, solid manger who has won trophies and plays decent football. He should troll their fans now, would like to see a comment when they play at Anfield to say he's looking forward to returning to his spiritual home.

steve green Posted 1 July, 2021 Share Posted 1 July, 2021 TBH any idea of letting Ralph go as we plunged down the table was quickly brought into focus by the utter rubbish managers available to replace him. For a club outside the top 6 options are very limited, mostly a gamble. Benitez on 7 mill a year apparently. Saints certainly wouldn't pay anywhere near that.

Jeremy Corbyn Posted 1 July, 2021 Share Posted 1 July, 2021 7 mill is 135k a week so I would guess that's towards the top earners at the club rather than a lot more than any of the players. Probably worth it for a top coach (if Benitez is that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I saw somewhere Ralph is on c.5m a year. For someone tried and tested with the reputation of Rafa (and a bank balance like Everton) 7m isn’t a huge amount.

I suppose the argument is succeeding in 2005-7 isn't the same as being a decent manager in 2021. A lot of fans think he is washed up since his last couple of jobs were fighting relegation/in the championship with Newcastle and a midtable side in the Chinese league. I think Everton fans have delusions of grandeur and he is a perfectly serviceable if uninspiring midtable manager and they are a perfectly serviceable if uninspiring midtable club.

Saint Keef Posted 2 July, 2021 Share Posted 2 July, 2021 Just a thought. With Nuno going to Spurs, and the possibility of Kane leaving, what are the chances, assuming he has recovered from his horrific injury that Spurs will go for Raul Jiminez as a replacement. They would have the money and Nuno obviously likes him. It might mean that the possibility of Danny Ings going to Spurs would disappear. Just a thought.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an entirely different kind of rivalry than what we have with Pompey for example. It's easier to 'other' people who have no family/school connections. Anyway, it's not just the fans that aren't happy about Benitez's appointment. I have it on very good authority that a number of the players don't like it either. He might well have already lost the dressing room before he's even taken a single training session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
