Rafa Benitez?

[SK1NT]

Benitez just spoken on talk sport and is very interested in the Everton job if it was offered to him,he wants to stay in England he also said " I want to manage a big club but if not I would like a project of a smaller club and have the chance to build something up"

Hey Rafa were over he on the south coast come and join us

Cant someone hammer his twitter account and point him in the direction of Brighton... Just let him know like

Jesus f***** Christ.

Crikey, why so serious? (said in the style of the Joker)

Lifting the mood perhaps? Dreaming perhaps? Or, could it become reality?

On the down side, his tactics do tend to be really boring. Next.

 

[Icy Gull]

This has about as much chance of happening as us signing Forlan did last close season, good to dream anyway

 

[wunt be druv]

Would be my perfect choice,but sadly I don't think we would be his perfect choice.Still,stranger things have happened...

 

[Originunknown]

Doubt we could even afford his wages, let alone him being interested in a Championship side.

More than that even.

Valencia

• La Liga - 2001-02, 2003-04
• UEFA Cup - 2003-04

Liverpool

• UEFA Champions League - 2004-05
• UEFA Super Cup - 2005
• FA Cup - 2005-06
• FA Community Shield - 2006

Internazionale

• Supercoppa Italiana - 2010
• FIFA Club World Cup - 2010

Chelsea

• UEFA Europa League - 2012-13

That's a hell of a CV. We all love Brighton, but really what's going to draw him here? Or Di Matteo for that matter?

EDIT: Also worth noting that the last time he managed at the equivalent of this level was in 2001, when he got Tenerife promoted.

I'll take boring if that is it!

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Real Madrid more likely.

Very much this

 

[perseus]

Rafa would be very high on my list if not first choice, if possible.

 

[GT49er]

Personally I wouldn't want him anyway. Realistically, he ain't going to want us either. Apart from anything else, if Gus wants more in the budget and that is part of the current diificulties, Rafa would regard the amount Gus wants as peanuts

In the same interview he said there were a couple of offers and one was a project, now that sounds familiar

just sent him a cheeky little tweet ...

I don't believe it for a second, but he's said many times he would like to stay in this country, his family are happy here. He's not going to get one of the top 6 jobs here, so if he has it in mind to take on a 3 year project, it could suit. He doesn't need the money, so personal comp shouldn't be an issue.

On the flip side, his family are in the north west, I couldn' see him wanting a drop of division on his CV, and the budget he'd want to stand a good chance of promotion in a very tough division would be far too much.

 

[The Wookiee]

believe ...

There is a part of me that does think maybe just maybe !!

Nothing at BHAFC would surprise me anymore !!

One thing Rafa does need is a fanbase that has no previous with him. Everton isn't one. We're a step down too far though, despite our Spanish links.

 

[martin tyler]

I believe. That is won't happen. With a CV like that he really should be landing Premiership job. One thing at Brighton though. We are a project. He wants a project and he will be given time.
