There was an impassioned plea from Phil Kirkbride in the red echo, pleading for Benitezs life. Phil says that a lot needs to change at Everton, but we have to keep Benitez no matter what. Phil i agree with you that a lot needs to change at Everton, but the most crucial aspect of this club, that needs changing right now is the manager!
Four league wins in thirteen games, with our most recent win on September 25th against Norwich. So we haven't won a game in two effing months! You can go on about injuries, having nothing to spend etc, but not winning for two months, should never be viewed as acceptable by this club and it's supporters.
How sad but how appropriate and fitting, that the Benitez era will probably be put to an end on Wednesday evening. Losing against the club he loves the most of all. Talk about dying on your own sword. Moshiri has gotten a lot wrong, during his tenure as owner of this club. Hiring this reviled horrible and odious man, who once bellitled this club, is one of the many things screw ups he's made as owner.
Putting an end to this charade, and taking a step back from the decision making, would be a welcome start, in terms of undoing the damage from this appointment. Actually he doesn't deserve to be here for the derby. Just get rid of Benitez in the morning, and put Dunc in charge for the derby, and let Marcel Brands do the job that he was originally appointed for, by selecting the next manager. Benitez was a gamble, a stupid gamble, that has just blown up in the boards faces. Get out of our club Benitez, you useless kopite muppet!
