      Officially gone

      Haven’t got much sympathy, was on to a hiding to nothing there anyway.

      Don’t think he will get another job in the prem personally but we’ll see.

      I dont understand why he goes to clubs (since leaving us) where he is just not wanted or hated. Never seen a manager like that. Newcastle was an exception.

      Having said that, his sacking at Real Madrid was a joke. He lost 3 games only and had a 68% win rate. Pretty sure Real won a game 8-0 during his time there.

      Hadn't Everton recently fired a few people in the organization to give more power to Rafa? and now they sack him?

      😆 I love the Radio Merseyside phone after a match or on a Monday night when Everton have lost (a regular treat) they've been hounding managers out since "The Chosen One" left.

      Well, that was a disaster. I'd say he retires from here.

      Rafa does know how to get himself a good severance package. 6 months into a 3 year deal? payout must be nice.

      Everton's biggest problem is their own fanbase. Whatever manager goes there is on a hiding to nothing cos they're more arsed about us.

      Funny Rafa rinsing them for a few more million!! Rooney & Big Dunc dream to get the job done relegating them :laugh:

      Whenever I'm at a low ebb I just think about how 18 months ago they were all 'ooh we are the new kids on the block and all the other big clubs are rattled.

      Fast forward 18 months and it's fantastic to see where they are. That photo of Rafa rubbing his hands together with a smile on his face 2 nil down to Norwich really makes me laugh.

      wonder if Newcastle would take him as a Director/advisor. Money wise he isnt shy of asking for it or taking what he is due. He has given to the Hillsborough fund in the past.
      I hope he call it a day and enjoys his life believe it or not its 18 years this June when he came here . Where did that time go.
      In that time we have had 5 managers in total the same as Everton since 2016 or so. Or is it 6 for Everton.

      another balls up by that lot. Rafa would have turned it round given time and a couple of transfer windows.

      He was working with 5x different managers players and Injuries etc.

      Glad hes out though. ;D

      Well played Agent Rafa

      Knew from the outset it would all go tits up!
      The F***ing idiots blame the manager for not being able to achieve success overnight with a team that has been thrown together by an assortment of people over the years.

      Because of the pressures by the same F***ing idiots any measure of success has proved as impossible as the target set for Rafa.
      How many years did we have to wait for our saviour?
