SMH, that would be like saying Rangers fans would be stupid to turn down having a manager with a Catholic background or vice versa with Celtic and Protestants. Let's not forget that Benitez is on record saying he would never work for Everton because of his connections to them and he very famously caused great delight to them by labelling us a small club, despite the fact that 'his' club wouldn't have existed but for us. He's a good manager, no disputing that, but there is way too much water under the bridge for him to be accepted here in anyway shape or form, the fanbase were quick to turn on Martinez after one great season, Koeman after 1 decent season and Silva after 3 months, Benitez wouldn't last 2 weeks before the knives would come out
