Rafael Benitez, Everton manager.
It's been a year since the club stepped into the truly bizarre, making the most controversial appointment that football on Merseyside has ever seen. Even thinking about it now will still baffle many supporters who could see what was to come from a mile away.
It wasn't just that the Spaniard was a former Liverpool manager, although it'd be wrong to suggest that didn't at least play a factor in the minds of some. Many fans just were not enthused by his previous spells at Newcastle or with Dalian Professional in China, and they didn't see him as the right option to progress the club at that point in time.
