It's why I don't get the kneejerk reactions.
He's had 1 window and £1.5m to fix a squad which couldn't get motivated for a run at the CL and latterly Europa last season. If they can't be arsed for a push at the most glamourous club competition, what chance have we got for Watford at home?
The players downed tools for Silva, Koeman, Allardyce and Ancelotti, what do people expect will change? I didn't want Benitez, but he's here, at least give him a chance with funds. Our jobs a poison chalice, and if having Benitez for a season or two allows us to gut the side, so be it. We have far bigger problems than Benitez.
