Should have been chased out of this club with the Dinosaur they bow down to.
Meanwhile Jaffa boy is looking at his bank statement and laughing at them.

I never mention Benitez I just get people responding to my every post bringing him up and when I respond to them they go "ahhhh lad get over him" lol ?
The Benitez obsession certainly isn't with me it seems many still can't get over him.
Ok
You can see the desire to rewrite history as well
Going to see that a lot this season
Benitez's time as manager will become better and better with every passing day
"Benitez would have been a great manager if not for our horrible fanbase who never gave him a chance", ignoring that most of us did of course, we just didn't worship enough for their liking
Lampard's ability to get the supporters as engaged as they were in the closing months of the season after Benitez had broken us was a genuine achievement on his part. Dare I say, it mirrored Moyes when he first came in and so many of us had given up after things had gotten so bad under Walter
I think it was the most significant factor. Even in the games we lost under Frank, there was an evident abundance of effort where there wasn't really before. Crowds respond to that

He alienated the players, the DoF and the fans from the off. He was so detached from every aspect of the club the only way he would survive was to get results consistently, which recent history tells everyone he isnt/wasnt capable of that.
You would think he was run out the club because of his Liverpool connections, he wasn't he was run out because he's not very good at his job and hasn't been for over a decade.
One or two games longer waiting to sack him and we could be looking at a different Everton future today.
If he was sacked when he should of been around Christmas time then we wouldn't of had to endure that end of season nightmare we faced.
Benitez is a big red bouncy castle.

I’d say playoffs on your first season, then a top 4 and getting into the champions league with no transfers, and getting to an fa cup final are fairly decent in your first few years. Probably more than a lot of our previous managers had done.
Or the very plain simple fact that the majority of fans knew Benitez was the wrong appointment for a myriad of reasons.
The few that thought it a good idea are either idiots or WUM's.
We all knew how it would end.

Spot on.
Forget about formations/tactics the point you made gets you quite a few points over the course of the season when your not playing well or are just not as good as the team your facing, in fact its arguable that's what kept us up.
I argue he had a chance of making it work but it would have involved him really committing to establishing a positive relationship with the supporters early doors, which he was never going to do
Even if the football wasn't great, if he'd had us rocking like Lampard did then he would have always had a chance of pulling it back and saving his job with some big results
He didn't though, so it's a moo point

Well every manager is brought in to win matches obviously, he was also brought in to lower the wage bill, given next to nothing to buy players at the start of the season and God knows who bought and sought the players in January, ultimately Benitez failed but he never made any where near the mistakes made by the players, the same players who made unenforced errors for a few managers before Benitez and a few more under Lampard especially away from home, a poor squad who proved how poor they were in many of the thirty eight league games.

I thought Myko improved with nearly every game he played and will continue that improvement next season.
This and I said it at the time so it’s not just hindsight. He was never ever coming back from that, it was over.
