2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[N0L1M1TK]

Possible points deduction, transfer embargo.

Not just a fine that people think.

Just keep him on the payroll, like the last bunch of failures.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Please can you show any factual evidence that this will happen, rather than just the usual guff that you come out with ?

Thats the potential punishments look it up.

Last season ended with a flounder, we’re not even half way through this one and we’re drowning.

They need their baby floats and arm bands back on this shower of crap.

We'd need a massive rubber ring or a tug boat for Rondon though.

 

[chrissyjack]

Stop playing Rondon you blood idiot

 

[COYBL25]

Thats the potential punishments look it up.

I have and it’s not true.

More lies.

 

[Runub]

Has he gone yet?

Possible points deduction, transfer embargo.

Oh I see you’ve finally woken up to the perilous position our owner has put us in.

 

[MikeH72]

I have and it’s not true.

More lies.

But if we remain so far in breach of the rules then it will lead to these punishments.

£8m pay off + any possible FFP fines or a hundreds of millions of Moshiri's asset going out the richest league in the world. Not a tough question that one.

But is the pay off not done over several years? We don't just give him £8m. Surely the James money will cover that. Isn't that the whole reason we got rid of him, to have some money.

 

[gazzaa2]

Who knows? Probably not, I would like to think that someone would have handled today and the Watford game better though.

Some fans would maybe be slightly less angry and more would be saying the manager needs time. That can be important though.

Which makes you wonder if Benitez has been appointed as a shield for Moshiri to take the heat of the fans, knowing the money had run out for this season (FFP or otherwise).

Given even Kenwright and others were supposedly against the appointment, the boardroom must be split as well though.

Possible points deduction, transfer embargo.

Key word: 'possible'. We might not be doing any transfers anyway if Moshiri has decided to rein in the chequebook. FFP might not be worth the paper it's written on if Moshiri and Usmanov want to get the best sports lawyers in the world and contest it (worked for City with UEFA). That's what I'd do if it was my half-billion investment at risk. There's nothing I wouldn't try to keep my asset in the richest league in the world, especially if I'm on the hook for partly funding a new stadium too.

Wrong

I think the question needs to be asked why has this owner appointed yet another manager that he’s going to have to sack mid-season with another huge payoff?

 

[gazzaa2]

Which is why he wanted rid of Rodriguez so badly too, as he failed the running up and down the sand dunes until he passed out test.

BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS.

The workhorses are all well and good but you need your difference makers. Ours weren't on the pitch today. Only Gray looked like doing something but wasn't on the pitch long enough.

 

[maccavennie]

I think the question needs to be asked why has this owner appointed yet another manager that he’s going to have to sack mid-season with another huge payoff?

I can only think he's got some kind of bet going with Abramovich to see who can sack the most managers halfway through a season.
