Benítez is a rat. A human rat measured by his contempt and dismissive attitude towards Everton FC when we had the temerity to draw away at Anfield under his tenure as manager. Asked four years later about those controversial comments after the heat of a Derby battle he was asked to reflect on it by The Guardian when writing a piece about the upcoming game. I stand by every word of it, was his defiance.
I can’t remember the exact words, but it went along the lines of only one team wanted to win, when teams come here looking for a point but what else can you call them, other than a small club? I was at that game and we put in a performance that was first class and AJ missed a sitter to win it. He spent £250m, mainly on dross and his arrogance and divisive nature helpfully saw another barren pursuit of a title since the back pass rule was introduced. Moyes openly laughed at him after that little outburst.
I want nothing to do with him. He would lead us on a merry dance, entice any advance from us, then make it public last minute that he has turned us down because he is proud to have once managed a team that won a Cup after coming back to draw and winning a game on a shootout. He’s dined out on that for years and will continue to. The facts are.....he is a rat and is sat quietly in the background, behind Gerrard, waiting for a call to go back to an unfinished agenda.
As always mate, spot on. He is not befitting of this football club, for me personally it would be of the same level of giving Allardyce the job.
Well done to him winning the trophies he has won a few years ago but the only thing that would attract him to Everton (apart from the pay packet) would be the chance for him to move back into the lovely lifestyle he had when managing the rs
