Thanjk you.
Paul.S
Sorry but I don’t wish him any success at all. It was bad enough with Chelsea, but everton? If that’s the best he can do then they’re both suited to each other. This is a no win situation for him.
So weird…but after all he did for Liverpool and all the hardship he put up with under **** owners at multiple clubs, I just can’t begrudge him a job that clearly suits him.
Given the control freak that Rafa is, I don't see how working underneath a DoF and accepting the imposition of key backroom staff could possibly be construed a a job that "clearly suits him". A few poor results (which hopefully will happen straight out of the gate) and he'll be politicking behind the scenes and briefing media allies about how he's being obstructed from achieving success for the club. And that's even before we mention the rancid fanbase, a sizable number of which absolutely detest the man. He'll have absolutely no goodwill or leeway if they hit a poor run of form - many of them want him out now before a ball has even been kicked.

Meaning personally as much as professionally, but also he’ll be aware of the structure and he’s taken the job anyway, which means he obviously wanted it, so…
That will be match day 14… I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he’s gone by then! Certainly if the fans kick up enough fuss. We saw the impact that the fans of any club can have, with the super league- if they want rafa gone badly enough, I don’t see him lasting 14+ games.
They’re not happy now.. if he has any sort of slow start I imagine they will force him out…
