Just some of the reactionary words of Everton fans following the appointment of former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez as manager at Goodison Park. Of course, football fans are overly passionate at times, the Merseyside rivalry is intense to say the least and this is the first time that anyone has managed both clubs. Out of all the candidates who could have taken the job, Benitez will be afforded the shortest honeymoon period of them all. In truth, this appointment is not really about Rafa Benitez; his arrival is the catalyst for change. It's a big deal to keep him at the football club, and it will help with regards to the attitude of the fans towards him.
