    Was always going to difficult for Rafa...he came to a club where the fans didn't want him...God knows we have had similar scenarios ...Howard Wilkinson, Grayson and Parkinson to name but 3.

    They're a bit of a basket case of a club now.

    Just don't have nearly what it takes to get to that next level and not content with their mediocrity.

    He can claim to have gone to China for 'the project' but not Everton, that was for money and geography ...

    ... I bet some of the Mag lunatics are soon up at SJP with their Rafabanners <doh>

    (Is this a fake account BTW.)

    I can’t see a worse time for building a new stadium, football is dying on it’s feet at the moment.

    Surely Duncan Ferguson should be given a chance. He did really well last time he was interim. He'd be better than Rafa, that was always going to go wrong.

    But I thought he was the greatest manager the world of football has ever seen?

    Failed at Everton, failed in China and relegated Newcastle ...

    ... succeeded in picking up loads of money.

    I wonder how much Wor Eddie will get for his payoff.

    Their owner can take some blame also, he has appeased Rafa in a lot of ways, while annoying the fanbase in doing so. That's not to say I think Rafa should stay in charge at Everton, he's a product of a bygone era now, which sounds awful when you really think of it.

    Their owner decided to get rid of their DOF for Rafa, whilst also getting rid of one of their star players, and selling them to a PL Rival...all because Rafa didn't like them, and now he's heading out of the door, leaving Moshiri with a lot to think about.

    He'd probably appoint Rooney, which I don't think should happen. More than likely the job will be given to Duncan Ferguson until end of season, or they appoint Fonseca (Who'll finally get his PL Job) or maybe Nuno Espirto Santo.

    Kenwright will be pushing for the dream team. Rooney and Ferguson.
    Rooney’s doing an amazing job at Derby. Both bleed blue.

    Now the question is who do they appoint? In the group chat, I'm apart of.. we've discussed a few names.


    - Fonseca
    - Nuno Espírito Santo
    - Lampard
    - Rooney?

    If they're going for names until end of season...

    - Allardyce (I know)
    - Steve Bruce (A joke shout by someone)
    - Duncan Ferguson.

    Rooney has to be tempted by the prospect surely. Derby are a basket case and he is doing brilliantly tbf.
