And to be fair to him, it was. Not because of Benitezs history but more so he has never built a club up successfully over a prolonged period. He's always come in on the coattails of someone else's work, gets some results which bags him the fans for a while, then stagnates. He's a bad version of Mourinho, all the ego and stubbornness without being remotely as successful.
Then you add his history, the club was already divided before he'd worked a day in the job, his appointment made it 10x worse. We needed someone (and still do) to unite the fan base (as Carlo largely did) but build the structure and playing side over time. That side of it isn't Benitezs fault, it's a reflection of how useless the exec team is to appoint him in the first place, the farce of what he's done with with team selection, tactics, Digne and results is entirely down to him and his ego.
Moshiri is clearly invested fully in him but we know how that goes. We are further away from success than when we had BK and Martinez running the show, genuinely gone backwards on the pitch considerably under moshiri. That can't continue, which ironically is why Benitez is in the position he's in, Mosh clearly trusts him to do the above, but with what history? Nothing behind Benitez to say he's remotely capable of it. Again shows how ridiculously inept the exec team is.
On we go, we can all see it, feel it unravelling. I was hopeful under ancelotti, his reputation brought better players to the club, moshiri has deep pockets but for whatever reason that fell on its arse. I have zero optimism with the current management structure at the club, I have never felt like this about Everton, it's almost like I don't care anymore what happens. Whatever happens, we utterly deserve as we have been a joke, an absolute complete laughing stock of a club for the last 6 years.
