"media witch hunt"... what a ludicrous comment. I agree appointing Benitez was completely wrong but let's not kid ourselves that Fwank is a great manager. At least Benitez has a track record of success to point to and his team were 16th in the league when he was fired. How much he was hindered by our previous reckless spending is open to conjecture.
Lampard has won 8 games in 21 as our manager while Benitez managed 7 from 22 in all competitions. Hardly a major difference is it?
Under Lampard we went into the relegation zone so lets not gloss over that fact by the fact we managed to win enough games right at the end of the season to avoid the drop. I understand some of you a gullible enough to believe a manager roaring his head off and doing the fist pump means he's Everton through and through because I can promise you, if we start badly next season, and there is every chance, then some of you will be the same ones calling for his head.
Benitez, Lampard, the Board and the owner were all equally culpable for last season and unless we see some real change this close season, don't expect our results to set the league a light.
