You can add to the list above dutch dreadlock holiday and the scottish leg breaker Hughton and to some extent Roeder (the job was way above his level) also deserve praise for the way they conducted themselves as managers here. But the dross we've had, especially since cunty Mike bought the club, is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19824 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Aye, forgot about Hughton. Big respect for him. Not just how he handled himself here but what he’s gone on to achieve. One of the good guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Fair point with Roeder as well tbh. Him resigning was clearly because Shepherd was selling and Ashley/Allardyce was coming in but his full season post-Shearer saw him juggle a load of injuries, bleed in youngsters and actually pull off some memorable performances. All got a bit weird when he referred to himself in the third person and started Matty Pattison at home to Spurs but the decent outweighed the shite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 This from this mornings Chronicle It was put to Benitez that January would be a big month for him and his side. “I have no idea,” he said. Asked to clarify he repeated: “I have no idea.” When asked whether that was because of the takeover he again repeated: “I have no idea.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26345 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 It's hard not to be negative when we've less than three weeks until the window opens and the manager doesn't know what his budget is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but Charnley is the Ashley/Benitez go between, isn't he? So whatever is happening, he'll be the one benitez talks to first about it. Those quotes could be spun the other way; Benitez expects takeover updates soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate i can't see a positive in there. I mean hopefully i'm a million miles wrong & everything is fine with Rafa having a massive budget to spend this window. Again i suppose the wait goes on but the clocks ticking regarding the January window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, genuinely feels like the last chance for ages for the club to be anything other than the joke Ashley has frequently made us. Even if we stay up, remove Benitez from the picture (and that seems inevitable come the summer if Ashley is still in charge) replace him with an average (if we're lucky) manager and things are only going on way. It's difficult to comprehend the owner's view point as well. I can understand wanting as much money as possible for the club but I can't understand him seriously risking relegation again. A third one would be fucking crazy and the previous two have been completely avoidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Rafa: "We changed formation, we changed players, we changed the shape of the team, the approach but still we made some mistakes.

trooper 940 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Rafa Benitez Everton press conference: “I have experience of teams at the bottom. We keep the same message but change little things. You cannot lose your principles. That was the key when we were winning. “(The festive period) is always crucial. But it will be crucial in January, in April. Every game is important. We have to go and try to get three points in the next game. Hopefully we will win and things will be easier. We don’t need to think about a run of games, losing or winning. We concentrate on the next one and see after that. “Some games we are the youngest team in the Premier League. We have to learn quickly. This team is working very hard. Little things we have to improve and we will be stronger. “We know our job. Everyone has an opinion. It’s not rocket science – we need players in some positions. If we can, fine, if not, we will have to work harder. “We’re monitoring players and talking to people. We still don’t know how much money is available. We know what we need, can we get that, I don’t know." “A lot of teams around of us have spent a lot of money and are still around us. We need to stay calm, work harder and we will start winning games. “Everton are a good team with good players. They know they need to win more games away. Maybe they will be more open, but you never know. We have to control things that are in our hands. “I don’t play against other managers. It’s about the team you have. Sam Allardyce is a good manager with experience but hopefully we can beat Everton. “Jamaal Lascelles was nearly there (on Saturday). Having players with character and personality when things aren’t going wrong is good. I haven’t picked the team yet. “Paul Dummett is getting better but still we have to wait. If everybody is available, hopefully we can be as solid as we were earlier in the season." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
