A: how on earth would you know this
B: utter tosh, as if our owner has asked our new manager to keep us mid table, it beggars belief that people actually think this.
Hiring Benitez and signing those 3 players shows we aren't serious about competing. None of the clubs above us would make those decisions.
It's pretty clear this season is going to be at best, extremely dull midtable irrelvance, or at worst, a complete disaster with the club left in a mess.
Everton should only be judged on actions. We can say all the right things, but we don't act like a club trying to compete with top clubs.
