A P.S to yesterday's post on the Everton manager. I see in yesterday's newspaper that Mrs Benitez wants Rafa to come back and manage in the Premier League, so there's hope. And I doubt he would be a candidate for Arsenal or Manchester United when there's a vacancy. He's missed out on Spurs, so why not Everton? There is the small matter that Rafa is managing in China at the moment and is clearly finding the Wanda Project at Dalian stimulating. He has advised on their £230 million training facility (!) which was only started last summer but will be completed by December (!!) Oh, and he's earning £12.5 million nett.
The Sunday Times say Everton and Leicester made approaches to Benitez while he was at Newcastle but he stayed loyal to the Magpies. But if Mrs B wants him home then at some stage perhaps we could see him in charge at Goodison.
I may be being unfair to Dyche but I see him as a young Allardyce.
As for Moyes, I worry that he may not be up to date with Premier League tactics. But that is also probably unfair, as he has always been a fanatical student of the game.
So my considered suggestion is that Everton should line up Benitez for next summer and, if the situation requires a change, bring in Moyes till the end of the season. They would probably have to keep the first bit confidential for Moyes to accept of course and they may have to offer at least an 18 month contract.
