Now we know we’ve no divine right to be in the top flight…

One word:

saboteurs.

Another word :

traitors.

Another word :

traitors.

Exactly.

 

[Goat]

Exactly.

Judas Iscariot was a disciple and one of the original Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. According to all four canonical gospels, Judas betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin in the Garden of Gethsemane by kissing him and addressing him as "rabbi" to reveal his identity in the darkness to the crowd who had come to arrest him.

A culmination in frustrations boiling over.

Don’t think anyone expected Ancelotti to leave in the manner he did, and then for us to go after Benitez.

A has been manager, with a past which was never going to go down well, especially with many thinking we’d turned a corner.

The fact it obviously wouldn’t work well, the £500mil spent and the frivolous choices to go for Pereira was always going to bring toxicity.

There now needs to be a balance of backing the 11 players whilst letting the board know we’re not happy and demand change. How we get that I don’t know, but someone smarter than I, will find a way.

Hiring Benitez was a dark day in the clubs history and a dark period followed culminating in us almost losing our top flight status and potentially ruining the club for years. It should never have happened. Moshiri has a lot to answer for with that and if Kia Joorabchian is still in his ear he needs to gtfo.

 

[RAFUH]

I think so as well and no affinity with fan base unlike Lampard.

He could have said and done everything Lampard did and still would have never been accepted.

 

[MACCA75]

He could have said and done everything Lampard did and still would have never been accepted.

He could have but he didn’t. Hugely dislikable character. Evasive and passive aggressive in press conferences, could say 100 words without actually saying anything.

Never took responsibility for anything. Awful bloke.

 

[Groucho]

…can we bring an end to the “bed wetter” shouts and just general complacency throughout some of the fan base going forwards please?

Panicking too early is no good either though.

I don’t know you know

I think had he made a concerted effort and unreservedly apologised for the small club comment then he would have at least had a chance

Define the difference between panic and concern I guess

 

[Groucho]

Well

Define the difference between panic and concern I guess

Well, calling for the manager to be sacked after one bad result. Too many jump right into that.

 

[davids]

Yes but if you share a forum with regular posters for a long time you should be capable of distinguishing between genuine and valid concern and wild freak outs right?

That’s the problem. Too many have a blanket reaction to ANY concerns regardless of the context of who is making them and why

Basically, I’d like some nuance

Nuance? On the internet??

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Nuance? On the internet??

Of course what was I thinking lol

 

[RAFUH]

He could have but he didn’t. Hugely dislikable character. Evasive and passive aggressive in press conferences, could say 100 words without actually saying anything.

Completely agree. Bad hire all around

Not everyone is as nice/forgiving as you Mikey.
