Journalist shares if Everton board will make u-turn on Rafa Benitez
Everton fans have been left in outrage this week as Rafa Benitez became the favourite to charge at Goodison Park.
Farhad Moshiri and the board will have been greeted by the disgusting banners left outside the stadium this week, although no decision has been made.
Philip Kirkbride is usually close to the latest news, and he has been asked this week whether or not the outrage could force a u-turn.
Writing in a Liverpool Echo Q&A, Kirkbride has responded to the chance of this outrage making the board rethink their potential choice.
“I’m certain Farhad Moshiri is aware or has been made aware of the sentiment among supporters to the prospect of Benitez taking over,” he said.
“But I’m not sure if it would prevent him from making the decision he believes is the right one for the club, in truth.”
Outrage.
Benitez and his Liverpool ties have caused unearthly scenes over the past weeks, but no one has actually considered his pedigree.
What happened if the Spaniard came in and delivered success? A domestic cup and Europe in one season would be out of this world, and something no one has been able to deliver in years.
There are still others names such as Roberto Martinez and Nuno Espirito Santo, and as we know, there could be another twist in the work this week.
We should know who is next to take over at Goodison Park next week, and who knows how ugly the scenes could get if it Benitez.
