Benitez Legacy - reflections

[Jebus_lives]

I do wonder if, had there not been such ill feeling between fans and manager, that Benitez would have done us a favour and dragged the board over the coals had he been allowed to stay on.

Make no mistake, had he stayed longer we would've been in an awful mess, but he would've dragged the board down with him.

Lampards arrival and the board "listening" to the fans bought them time until the next inevitable crisis and yet another January manager hunt.

Probably, but we’d have been relegated.

Despite the woes and peril which were currently under, we’re still very much alive in the relegation battle.

If the fans are rallying and getting taken notice of, we’re capable of anything.

Benitez is excellent at blaming everyone but himself. It was easy at Newcastle. Yet, for all his praise in the North East Steve Bruce continuously provided better seasons… the fella is a has been.

I believe Churchill's comments about Benitez and Rondon still ring true. Never in the field of human conflict has so much been eaten for so long by so few.

Still rue the day paella pubes rocked up, no doubt he accelerated the demise and helped speed us along to this point, don’t give a monkeys what anyone says.

Sorry to break this to you all, I been thinking about this for some time and I’ve made a decision……















I’ve just had to fire myself for hiring Benitez.

That's nonsense, for a start it wasn't until post Christmas we really fell apart and Richarlison went totally down hill and had that long run of nearly 1000 minutes without scoring mainly under Lampard

can we all just agree he was slightly better than Lampard

How’s it nonsense if it’s come straight out of his mouth

His form says its nonsense, and that of the rest of the squad.

Thanks mate

But none of what he said discusses his form or the form of the team.

I see so James leaving actually made zero difference too us on the field, I knew that already

Well you can just compare our results the season before when he played and the results since he left can’t you

Let me know when you work out the PPG
