He identifies players but doesn’t do the negotiating. Benitez wanted Digne gone by all all accounts so the club negotiated and got rid.Hold on, wasn't Benitez the rogue in selling Digne?
Lampard has the say so here. Bottom line. He's not much of a manager if he gets dictated to by the club on incomings and outgoings.
I want FL to do well here. But I wont ignore that he needs to do a lot more than this.

Yes, as we had no dof when digne was sold so it was on the manager.Hold on, wasn't Benitez the rogue in selling Digne?

It may be so but at least give him a chance. Our history of firing every single manager shows we need to change how we operate.Lampard is in a race with Slippy. Who gets fired first. My money is on Lampard. The lesson: Stay away from glorious ex footballers that have no coaching experience of note!
It’s taken Arteta a while to get things right. And a lot of money.Arteta playing 4 at the back here
What a donut
Does he not know that 5 is the new 4
By the way he was right. Digne was awful. Couldnt defend for toffee( remember he is a defender) and tried (a little bit like Gordon) to play for his stats. Not a team player!Benitez didn’t “sell Digne”. He had a public falling out with him, and then the club sold him because of it rather than just sacking Benitez.
No you don’t, because you think Benitez was unfairly treated despite having us 16th in January after 1 win in 14.
Ssssssssssssssssss.
Didn’t he win the fa cup in his first seasonIt’s taken Arteta a while to get things right. And a lot of money.
Benitez had an injury crisis and £1.7 million summer budget to contend with - if Lampard had the same set of circumstances you'll be screaming from the rooftops.
But yes results meant he was rightfully gone - same way Lampard will be if he can't turn it around.
You love telling me how great a manager he is though so no doubt he will...
