Not really since he’s been around long enough for me to form a reasonably informed and overwhelmingly negative opinion of his style of play.
No. It's based on empirical evidence rather than your view which is based on wishful thinking. If you were cautiously optimistic and happy to acknowledge positives and negatives regarding the appointment and subsequent transfer business then your position could be considered rational, however you have gone full on "Rafatollah" disciple and have clearly lost your mind.
He did win those things A long time ago. He's now in the category with Mourinho and probably Ancelotti of very successful managers who failed to move on when the game did. You can ignore his relegation with Newcastle, his mid-table mediocrity when they returned to the PL and his retirement gig in China, where he was one match away from relegating Dalian, if you want but it doesn't change the fact that it all happened. I can acknowledge Benitez's achievements and still not want him at our club. You can't acknowledge his deficiencies at all, it makes you an unreliable narrator of our current situation. You have sacrificed all objectivity to score points off fellow blues and make yourself a strange sort of pantomime character on here. Whatever works for you, I guess?
We're doing this again are we? Where have I proclaimed Ancelotti to be a "Saint"? I was pleased when Ancelotti arrived, he had no baggage relating to us and his arrival was followed by quality signings. Benitez has a shipping container full of baggage and signed Begovic, Gray and Townsend. It's not the same thing at all.Wait so Ancelotti was hailed a Saint despite being largely past it yet Benitez gets no chance whatsoever?
No agenda there at all Windy
What would represent baggage to you?
you dont know a thing about football
Do they not make the squad stronger? Do they not have the ability to give much better service to Dom? Those wingers are attacking additions. They will spend 99.9% less time on their ass than Richie so may prove helpful.
Bizarre, you think baggage is how a manager organises a team after they arrive at a club, typically baggage is something you bring with you that wasn't there before.
WTF are you?
No. Adding poor players to a squad doesn't make it better.
