He was crap. Move on.Benitez is a better manager than what we saw here he even did better with a much poorer Newcastle squad results speaking.
Ultimately he tried to change the culture/weed out the underpeformers in the backroom and the job became too big.
But from his sacrifice (some may say noble) Lampard doesn't have to deal with Donachie killing 3-4 players in training every week or Brands wasting millions on tat not suited to the physical demands of this league.
Long term it benefits us and leaves a much stronger foundation than say Martinez or Koemans tenures did.
Lampard has got us our biggest win in over a year and he has been here a week. Against a team that the previous manager lost to a few games ago.
The change in the approach to the game, in the atmosphere around the club, in the performance of the players is 1000 times better than 2 weeks ago. It's better than the first game under the previous manager who according to some is a top manager blah blah blah.
