No Chelsea fans wanted Benitez when he took over.

His points per game in the league was actually lower under Benitez than the sacked Di Matteo is memory serves me correctly?

Looking back it's weird that they sacked Di Matteo. He won two trophies in the first half a season he managed, and he'd started the next one pretty well. They were 3rd when he got the boot but he had pretty much got them eliminated from the CL.

Benitez came in and essentially maintained them. Didn't win his first PL games but won 15 of the next 23 and the Europa League win of course.

His overall win % is slightly higher at Chelsea than RDM - but it's very close in all fairness.

not sure you can say that it is mainly American Toffees! Quite a sweeping statement.

apart from that yes, crowds will return which will purely be down to end of this period of banned gatherings and strong desire for normality, not in anyway due to FSW and i cant wait to see it full again.

you are right, if appointed his grace period will be very short. I still think Derby in November will be the most toxic ever.

have we ever been in a situation where people want a manager gone before even appointed, Allardyce maybe but nowhere near this level

he will never be accepted by many, me included.

If anything i'd say it's probably the opposite. Those who are a little more removed from it are maybe less bothered than those who actually live the derby rivalry on a daily basis, and who will be the ones sitting in the ground watching the turgid football and being surrounded by an atmosphere ranging from dead to angry depending on the situation. My dad (from Gateacre, not Green Bay) has hardly missed a game for about 50 years, he told me the other day that he's considering not renewing his season ticket for this year, the first time I can ever recall him even thinking about it. Literally the only thing that might stop me from jacking it in is knowing that at his age, if he stops then there's a good chance he'll never start again, and I don't want to have already gone to Goodison with him for the last time.
 
I'm getting used to the idea of Benitez now , might as well get on board , im putting my efforts in he gets that much stick it mentally ruins him then I can get on the get Gerrard in shouts and mentally finish him.
