Like Bobby.. Oh wait.
Like Ronald .. Oops
Like Sam.. Enough said.
Like Marco.. Haha.

Think the issue is us fans not the managers.

Well no the issue is the managers, because all of those you’ve listed are absolute crap as well. And Koeman and Allardyce were nearly as divisive as Benitez.

Well the issue is Moshiri actually. But yeah.

I agree the issue is the fans. The fans that oppose any change, the ones who oppose anything bad said against Everton. The little happy clapping kopite worshiping mutants
 
Benitez is red to a bull, I get that.

But this line;

Benitez adds: "The team finished 10th last season and someone is worried about (their) stats. Do we want to improve the team or manage egos?"

He's absolutely spot on there.

I've said for 18/24 months now, we'd get tonked 4-0 and Digne's agent/himself would be plugging that he made more passes than any other player etc. One example;

It is madness to suggest that Digne is unprofessional simply because he had the temerity to the FSW that his tactics weren't working.

And now the FSW has orchestrated a situation where he can sell him and fans like yourself will put the blame on the player.
It isn't that which makes him 'unprofessional'.. it's him then throwing his rattle out of the pram and effectively saying 'well I want out then' that paints him in a bad light here.

Spot on.

Fans have been sabre rattling ever since Moshiri came in Feb 2016 thinking we were the new Man City and have pushed the owner into sacking managers every 12-18 months.
 

Getting shut of Digne will act as a deterrent against anyone else who thinks they can take the piss and get away with it.
I agree with you here Dave.

What is happening is a culture change. Players no longer coming here looking for an easy pay day. Instead, like the rest of us, they have to follow directions and work hard in order to get paid. Drop the dead weight and bring in young, hungry players trying to establish themselves.
 
I was shocked to hear Goodison at it's loudest when Digne warmed up.
I'm more shocked to see fans still defending him. I don't know why I'm shocked, I've seen our fans side with players who want out/don't care about the club too many times.

The sooner our fans stop treating them like gods and stop letting them get away with murder, the better. I won't hold my breath though.

If Moshiri's head is screwed on he'll take the pain this season, with Benitez having to dig out this lot, and allow him to get his own players in and go again next season.
