It’s almost like you shift the parameters on a regular basis mate rather than say “I worded that badly “ or “yeah I was wrong “ .

God you’re a bore.

We were on safer ground because we're not very good, and one of the slowest teams in the league. However there will be seasons where playing like that loses you most away games. I can remember seasons where we've gone away and set up to be hard to beat and ended up with 2 or 3 away wins all season. If that had happened last season we'd have been relegated.

We were by far the slowest team I seen last year, no other team turned back and passed back to the centre halves as much as us.
It’s the thing that winds me up more than anything else.

The one sure thing this thread establishes is that in no way was this appointment in any way divisive.

Wouldn't even say its divisive. You have those relatively happy providing he kicks the squad into touch @davek

Those not bothered but happy to give him a chance before a ball has been kicked @ForeverBlue92

Those pretending they are happy to back him but cant wait to turn the moment he drops points @Harryflashman

Those who are quite open in not backing him and want him gone right away even if it means Everton losing games of football @windymiller @Tommy. Etc

Thats your 4 camps but really split into two camps varying in the extremes which is often the norm when it comes to managers in recent years Ancelotti aside.

No one liked Alladyce because at the time we were still in the early days of finally having money and were expecting a world class manager coming in.

Fast forward 4 years after Brands has wasted money on tosh and left us in a precarious position FFP wise, added in with the new stadium being under way - most fans are realistic in knowing Benitez was likely the best available manager this summer - the only top manager who was floating around was Conte and no way was he taking this job when we supposedly have some form of FFP restrictions in terms of spending.

Everyone backed Koeman, Silva and Carlo from the start so it should be no different with Benitez. If he does well here the history books wont forget the names of those abusing him from day 1.

Oh dear..... revisionist crap.
Most fans?
In your dreams lad

Ok i can’t speak for anyone else but you’re wrong , why would I want a team that I’ve spent tens of thousands of pounds on to lose games and him to drop points? The team that I’ve watched with generations of flashmans and that has given me more joy (just ) and more tears (a lot ) than anything but family in this this world . Sorry mate you’re completely and utterly wrong & I’m not having it .

I can’t reiterate this enough I hope he never ever loses a game , I hope the doubts I have are proved wrong , I hope he’s passionate about the job , full of energy and up for the fight . Is that clear enough ?

Tbf mate I didnt say you wouldn't be bothered if we lost - I just get the feeling you're one of the ones who as soon as we lose a game even after potentially doing well the manager will be to blame even if its Pickford dropping the ball into his own net.

Not the most extreme in wanting him sacked asap but also not willing to give him a fair crack of the whip either if you was being 100% honest?

I’ll point the finger at that useless shower because most of them are just that , I won’t pretend he’ll get as long as if he was a former Everton captain or even probably if he wasn’t just a RS but I’m not looking to crucify the fella.

I’m not prepared to ignore his baggage though and by that I don’t mean just his kopiteness I mean his semi retirement and tactics . Look i defended his Newcastle signings before or rather tried to put them in context . Like yours My opinion matters not a jot but I’ll give him a crack .

Creeping past Blackburn with a near-full strength squad?

That's a yikes

This will be the third time I've asked you to prove I've said that, you're really not very bright, are you?
There's a little search bar up there, fill your boots.

You love to attribute quotes and just plain lie to try and point score, leave me out of your tedium please.

I did.
I stopped reading there as the rest of your post is probably as inaccurate

At least we don't have @Kev50 in here telling lies.
