Pull the trigger and sack him, you balloon. Stop putting your personal pride above what is right for the club. He was your first choice and you messed it up AGAIN.

Clueless about football and wasted every bit of money he’s put into the club.

Man’s put his money in to make this club something again, something Kenwright rarely if ever done in 17 years, and has seen it blow up in his face because of circumstances

I’ve stated before, he didn’t want to appoint Walsh in the DoF role, he wanted Monchi and/or Brands but was priced out for one and the other was too loyal to PSV at the time. If either had been in place in the summers of 2016 and 17 then we’d have more players in the ilk of Bernard, Digne and Richarlison and less of the Sigurdssons, Schneiderlins and Bolasies that have drained the club of wages

That’s where hindsight is a bitch, not one of us could have foreseen just how bad things would have turned out when he first came in, not even the man himself
 
I struggle to think of ONE major decision he's made since arriving that he's got right.

Three years worth of terrible appointments and baloney about a 'stadium'.

The way fans hand a manager 12 months to get it right and want them bulleted if they dont, but allow a carpetbagger full licence to wreck the whole of the club top to bottom is ludicrous.

How about sorting out our crippling debt?

Debt doesn't just 'Go Away' - it has to be paid back
Moshiri just moved ours from a high interest place to low interest place ( like consolidating multiple credit card debt on to one at lower interest) most of the pre Moshiri debt is in the form of interest free loans from himself...it will eventually, have to be paid back to him.
New debt since then resides with new lower interest places...underwritten by Moshiri.
When this incarnation of control / ownership ends all the chickens will either come home to roost on EFC or the next fool he foists us off on.
Best case; we will have a new stadium and the debt will go to the next fool...but it won't go away - It never does.

The Right
Sacked Martinez when things had turned toxic
Sacked Koeman as we were on a nose dive
Hired Brands to fix the mess left by Koemageddon
Set motions in place for the stadium, and moved business operations to the Liver Building for that purpose

The Wrong
Hiring Walsh or at the very least reigning in the ridiculous spending levels
Hiring Sam Allardyce in a panic
Wasted too much time chasing Silva
Keeping Kenwright on longer than the initial six month period
‘Good Evening Jim’
 
Im not saying he's immune from criticism but bloody hell.

People wanted Pellegrini (who has pedigree) and look how he's doing at West Ham - 3 wins in 10, a lower win ratio than Alan Pardew and battered 4-0 by Oxford. Their fans sound like us with their criticisms

People wanted Emery (another one who has pedigree) and the Arsenal fans want him out.

There are 2 managers in world football who guarantee success as they have done it multiple times in various leagues (Mourinho, Guardiola), everyone else is a gamble regardless of their pedigree. Plus those 2 have always been at top teams with top players anyway.

Bet most would kill for Simeone but who's to say even if we got him he would replicate what he's done at Atletico here?

As I say, im not defending him but people who think its easy picking a manager need their heads testing.

Ive slowly come around to the idea of Benitez. Won stuff in Spain, England & Italy and done wonders with Newcastle on a shoestring even with all the turmoil going on. Plus is actually achievable unlike Guardiola and Mourinho.

The 'rights' are mostly correcting his own mistakes.

Did I say "go away" anywhere in my post.

"Sorted out" were my exact words. Which he HAS done.
