I wouldn’t even want Benitez to wait my table at a restaurant

Let alone coach my club
He'll never coach Millionarios Bogota, mate.

Actually, I'm being unfair in saying that to you. But only about as unfair as you are to Benitez. As an Evertonian of 40 years, we have had far worse managers than the current incumbent. He has been here five minutes. Whether people like him or not is beside the point. The problems at the club are much deeper than the identity of the manager. People are falling into a trap by fixating on Benitez and not what's going on in the boardroom...
 
I actually like Atlético Nacional from the Colombian league

But they would never hire Benitez, unless like our mate @ForeverBlue92 here, the plan is to get relegated
If we get relegated, it will be because we pissed 400m up a wall over the last five years and suffered a calamitous injury crisis for a prolonged period of the season. The manager will be incidental. The Director of Football and above is where you should be aiming your ire.

Everything from Benitez up is a mess. Yes Benitez was dealt a bad hand with the deadweight he has to choose from

But he has been fired from teams with talent before including Real Madrid who went on to win the CL after he left.

He is just a mediocre manager so the mediocre results make sense

Won the champions league after he left.

Yes Rafael was unbeaten in the champions league qualified 1st in their group with the most goals in Europe. Who's to say that they wouldn't have won it with him in charge.

He's the seventh most successful coach of the 21st century, statistically.

You many not like his style, and you may even suspect he is well past his peak, but describing him as a "mediocre manager" is, with respect, nonsense. Even if we were to allow that he was "finished", Everton has been so mismanaged that ridding the club of him will not lead to a sustainable improvement. The issues at this club are systemic. This means they will take time to fix. Benitez is thick-skinned enough to wade through the inevitable bile coming his way and is, arguably, perfect for conducting the painful purge that must happen over the next 18 months. Moshiri is in no position to make yet another change without falling victim to charges of utter incompetence. Benitez will be here for the duration. It'll be a very rocky road until January...
 
I mean the geordies are happy to have Eddie howe, can't really use them as an argument to prove your point here if you want to be taken seriously.
he's the best they can get. So you can imagine the sort of candidate we'd end up with if we were mad enough to give benitez the bullet

With respect, Eddie Howe is there for one reason and one reason only. A huge sack of cash. He knows his aim is to keep them in the PL so he can be moved aside for a more fashionable name.
Howe has taken the job no self respecting manager would go near until PL status is assured.
