2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Yarrgh]

He's king of the castle now mate.

The knives are still sharp. He's not got anyone in front of him to take the blame now.

 

[Kev50]

He's king of the castle now mate.

to be fair, what he is doing at the moment he's earning his money for.. Basically making it as uncomfortable as possible for people in jobs that have previously been a supremely cushy number. Just imagine how unpleasant Benitez will have had to be to force out a doctor from the nice little earner he was on at FF. Ditto Marcel. He's actually dong what we all want, going through the club, pushing out the dopes. Unsworth won't sleep tonight.

Whether you like him or not thats the reality.

It would take us falling into the bottom 3 and looking rudderless for Moshiri to punt him now.

If that's not the case by January, I think you're probably right.

 

[windymiller]

Thanks Benitez.

We've got Begovic and Lonergan, we'll be fine

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

With Brands gone it will be his head next on the chpping block.

Happy Days.

Only just heard Brands got the boot / walked (whatever).

Either a new DOF will be incoming or the plan is to give the manager more power. Will it be Benitez though?

 

[Colonel Getafe]

"We’re on an express elevator to hell – going down!"

And I say this as generally being OK with Benitez. However, he can't be the one in charge of transfers.

Sean Longstaff is packing his suitcase and booking a Beatles tour as we speak...

The problem is fans expect us to go from 0-100 in 1 summer - there is a reason why Ancelotti done a bunk.

Never happening - things aint improving until Kenwright/Brands/DBB leave and replaced with proper business people.

We're knackered with FFP and building a new stadium with a squad of average players. The manager wasnt backed in the summer and its same old on the pitch.

People can protest at the board I respect that but forget battles for Top 6 or trophies for the next 18 months+ until the club gets back on its feet.

If thats with Benitez or whomever then what will be will be we have no say or control in that.

Yes, because real Madrid came for him. Pretending it's any other reason is madness. 99% of managers would leave if Madrid came knocking.

I dont care about battling for top 6 or trophies right now. It would be nice for him to just get the players to battle for anything, to just get some points. He is failing that.

He has seen two people off now, there is a broom sweeping Everton clean, Rafael is holding the handle.

If we win tomorrow we are 11th/12th.

Hence my argument of you have to judge at the end of the season.

Then you'll have nobody else to blame when he relegates us. You constantly claim that there are blues on here who want us to lose but are cock-a-hoop with the man who has presided over our worst run of form in almost a quarter of a century is given more control. You and JimmyNail92 are the only two posters on here that seem happy with Everton losing. Every week.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Would be super if he won a game at some point.

You have unrealistic expectations. We shouldn't expect to win a game unless we are fully injury free and have our first 11 on the pitch at all times. Rafael says so.

He wont be sacked in a hurry now.

Get's way into the new year.

And relegating us in the process.
