Yeah i think he knew it as well, in hindsight maybe Rhino could of kept the job until the end of the season and we possibly could of been ok but he didnt want to risk it, but to sack him and bring in Silva was crazy, his CV had nothing in it to show he was good enough.
Another issue was we ended up playing a start 11 with players bought by 5 different managers, in fact we maybe could now, no wonder the side is so dis-jointted

You can post sense when you want.
Hope you keep it up.

No it's not. It wasn't under Allardyce, it wasn't under Ancelotti and it's not under Benitez. I'm consistent in my insistence that European qualification is a minor achievement and winning trophies is a real achievement. You slate Ancelotti for two poor years then state that if Benitez replicates those seasons (finishes below 8th for two seasons) he deserves a crack at a third season.
Anyone who states Ancelotti was a success is delusional. However, I can't find many people saying that. You say that people are saying that. A lot. But almost all of the noise is coming from you.

There's a reason Allardyce wasnt given a full contract.

He was a salvage job to protect Moshiri's investment by not getting relegated.
He was never being kept on.

Huh?, Fat Sam was given a two year contract and 40 million to spend in the January window

Gone after six months and was paid out the rest of the contract outstanding

He salvaged the club that well we finished 8th and that included a spell of no shots on target for close to three games

Was our football worse in the last 12 games of last season or than in the Fat Sam spell?

Fat Sam's spell hands down was worse.

Also, how anyone can slate Ancelotti but want Fat Sam in the job after his footy and blowing 40 million on utter crap like Tosun and Walcott is beyond me.

Its easy to slate Ancelotti mate, look at his last 12 games as manager, 2 wins? Didn't want to be here!

Fat Sam's football is the worst I have ever seen, and I was watching the Mike Walker Everton play home and away

So I didn't actually say I wanted gravy train in the job, but I didn't see much difference in the last 12 games last season to when he was here, except we finished 8th not 10th with a squad of 600 million spent

But ancelotti had an injury crisis. You know, the same excuse being given to benitez.

Being serious, Fat Sam I do genuinely believe we should of kept for 12 months.
One reason being the financial damage it was going to do sacking him without a viable replacement, and we didnt have a viable replacement, we had someone who lasted a few months.
So we paid of Koeman, paid off Sam, Paid off Silva, had to pay Watford IIRC, That's a LOT of money wasted by a club who in the last window could only afford 1.7m.
Throwing money away has caught up on us, and we do have a problem now.
We should of kept Sam for financial reasons, unless we could of got a better manager, which we didnt.

We were never being relegated. If that was a worry then, it should be a worry now.

We had played 14 and had 15 points and were 5 points off relegation zone in 13th.

We currently have 15 points from 11, but have city and Liverpool within our next 3 games. Its not inconceivable that we have 15 points from 14 this season. As no guarantee we get something from brentford. (Obviously that worst case secanrio and we could win all 3, but like I say, not inconceivable)

Otherwise, logically, we are at risk of relegation and should be sacking benitez right?
