Everton's Alan Irvine moment.

[Squid]

Benitez has agreed to be their next manager.

[Supamart]

I wish he was at the Albeyun.

Though, maybe he is not involved in any sort of corruption.

Benitez has agreed to be their next manager.

Not in the same universe as our AFI moment. Alan Fucking Irvine!!!!!!

Benitez v. AFI

I don't have anything against the latter but crikey what a miss match.

[Borin' Baggie]

Surely this is their Ron Saunders moment?

[Dumbo]

What an odd comparison.

Benitez is a great manager.

What an odd comparison.

Benitez is a great manager.

Not to Everton fans. They're howling about it. There's already been a threatening bedsheet near his house telling him not to sign.

[SW4Baggie]

Everton have really delusions of grandeur… historic club who certainly should have done better in the last couple decades but they’re essentially a midtable club who are destined to hover between 6th and 16th.

They SHOULD be looking to attract the next Benitez, in the same way Liverpool enticed a young manager who’d just won a shock title in Spain, but instead their lack of direction upstairs means they’re resorting to a manager whose spent 3 of the last 5 seasons in the Championship or China…

[Duffers]

Why is this an AFI moment?

Benitez is a fantastic manager for a club of Everton’s size.

I suspect his spell at Anfield might have a little bit to do with that though.
