He knew full well why this wasn't going to work and still went ahead with it anyways. Feel like theres a 0% chance he sacks Benitez even if he relegates us because he's failed with every appointment he's made and is going to be stubborn to prove a point.

Said it in the Benitez thread, I'd love to know what Abramovich told him that made him think "yep, he's the man!" when he was sacked from Chelsea after a little more than a year.

Expecting Abramovich to have told Moshiri that because Abramovich doesn't want yet another club fighting for top 4.
 
…..I have a theory, an unlikely theory but here goes;

There was a power base at Board level that Moshiri could not shift from top down - Kenwright, DBB & Brands. Moshiri wanted somebody in who could change things from bottom up. He wasn’t after stability on the pitch (as I thought), he was after instability off it.

He needed a deceitful and confrontational manager who would work to his agenda & clear out the ones he didn’t want. He acquired Benitez and asked him to set about that task.

It’s a clever theory but I doubt Moshiri is a clever strategist. It’s probably just that Benitez is horrible.
