How long has Rafael got left?

[Colonel Getafe]

Exactly....paying him off would be small change in comparison to the cost of relegation. They would find a way I am sure

200% guaranteed they would. Even if it meant selling Rondon for meat.

It's not fair to blame Rafael for all the injuries. Who could have predicted that?

Probably the physio he just booted...

 

[Steve EFC]

Depends on the results after that though. If there's a run of losses right up to Burnley (A) on the 26th -which isn't a far fetched scenario- I highly doubt 1 point in a month would be enough to keep Rafael in the job.

That’s fair enough. Don’t think it’ll be that bad though personally.

Dog food at best but I know what you mean

Where do we pick up wins in between? Anything can happen when the games come thick n fast in December sure, but out of LFC / Arsenal / Palace / Chelsea / Leics I don't see us getting anything from those (hence the importance of Brentford then Burnley + Newcastle).

Who cares. We'll still have no plan when we hire the next guy

Between 6-9 points there, if we don’t win one of the games we are expected to win then we will get a few unexpected points because that’s how football can be.

To be or not to be?...that is the question. When more Evertonians get the good sense to pull their heads out of their own arses, and stop labelling the manager as the problem, this club's supporters might finally have summoned savvy enough to examine the existential cancerous plague that metastasizes this club to its core.

Goodison will be packed next weekend...

...all is good

Oof, I see 4-5 max and that assumes 3 points tomorrow.

Let’s play score predictions today, a nice change of pace for the thread?

Brentford 1 blues 2
Blues 0 LFC 3
blues 1 Arsenal 2
Palace 2 blues 1
Chelsea 3 blues 0
Blues 1 Leicester 1

What games you got down as bankers, wouldn’t be confident of beating a pub team just now?

….I doubt they’d pay him off. They’d just continue paying his salary as they did with other managers.

Rafael has sadi in his latest interview he has a long term plan with Moshiri and everything is positive between them. Rafael has spoken about being here well beyond his contract.

Haha a vote of confidence. Might be worth ringing the taxi up for him sooner rather than later

 

[Bob Latchford]

If he goes then we get someone else but everything else including the assistants, the director of football and this awful team remain the same. Whoever was to come in needs time and resources, Benitez has had neither and for me remains a safer bet than most.

We’re an above average premier league side but we’re god awful when short the players we’re currently missing.

My 6-9 points included the fixtures against Burnley and Newcastle lol so to the end of this year.
In response to your predictions:

Brentford 1- Blues 1
Blues 1- LFC 4
Blues 0- Arsenal 1
Palace 1- Blues 2
Chelsea 2- Blues 0
Blues 2 - Leicester 2

So in the next 6 games ive got 5 points. Not too dissimilar to yours.
I think we will do well to get a point against Brentford and get turned over against RS, put up a fight against Arsenal but their quality will shine through but the palace game will be our next win, my thinking is we will have a few players back available.
Then 4 points against Burnley and Newcastle will round the year off which would be the 9 points between now and the end of the year.
This will be just enough to keep him in a job and we’ll have a better second half of the season than last year is my hope and we’ll finish about 12th.
I understand I could look a right tit here.?

Fair play mate. I’m not anti Benitez, far from it. But I reckon you are just amusing yourself on a big wind up.?
