Everton woes will worsen if Fabio Cannavaro accepts Mosihiri offer to be new manager
Everton are the Premier League’s crisis club right now with fan protests showing just how unhappy the supporters are on Saturday.
After Everton’s 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa at Goodison Park, some fans refused to leave to demonstrate their anger while others clashed with Bill Kenwright as he tried to get into his car.
It’s not a great time to be an Everton fan with Rafa Benitez’s sacking show just how badly run the Merseyside club is by owner Farhad Moshiri and the rest of the board.
And things would no doubt even get worse if Everton’s next manager is Fabio Cannavaro.
Over the last week, the former Italy centre-back, who won the 2006 World Cup with his nation, was linked with the job at Goodison Park.
On January 20, the Telegraph reported that Cannavaro, 48, had been interviewed with the view to him replacing Benitez in the Goodison hotseat.
Italian newspaper Libero then reported on the same day in their print edition [page 29] that Cannavaro had been offered the job.
Cannavaro’s playing CV is an impressive one.
But his managerial one is not so much.
It speaks volumes that the Italian hasn’t managed outside of China or the Middle East with him having spells at Al-Nassir and Tianjin, sandwiched in between two stints at Guangzhou. He also had a short-lived time in charge of the Chinese national team, in which he lost two games and then stepped down.
Cannavaro won the Chinese Super League title with Guangzhou but nothing that a manager does in a league like that will impress us, nor other Evertonians.
Everton have hit a new depth over the last week and the scenes on Saturday, while not violent, were sad to see.
We feel as though Goodison is a ticking timebomb right now and we’re just one more bad decision from a full-on civil war at the club.
Hiring Cannavaro could be what tips everyone over the edge and we really hope that Moshiri isn’t so clueless to have actually offered him the job.
In other Everton news, contact has been made with the agent of a manager who “ticks all the boxes” for the Toffees.
