2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[matty1878]

after tonight’s debacle he’s sacked tomorrow

 

[blue to the bone]

I said based on our overall form, not the last few games. We are projected to finish between 7th and 13th.

What an absolute dickwad you are.

 

[catcherintherye]

59 points which saw us finish 10th last year? I don't think it's far wrong at all to say we've got the 10th-12th best squad in the league, 59 points gets you around about that pointless midtable mark these days

Well 59 points normally gets you 6/7th which is where we should be aiming to stand still.

 

[willo30]

Well ofc you did, its total BS

Oops sorry.

And you know his actual wage how?

 

[Theoneandonly]

You do realize you need his wage slip to back this up now.

I got into trouble for it yesterday.

Various reports say Al Rayyan paid 8.8 mil to secure James.

He was apparently on 10.4 m per year.

lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

OK sound, every Premier League form table ever is wrong and you're right. Of course. I'm the one who appears to be really, really stupid. Yes. Totally.










lol lol lol lol

Mate you're literally trying to tell the bloke who said it that he didn't mean what he says he meant. Yes that makes you look really really stupid. I'm not trying to define form I'm just able to comprehend the words he used.

He really isn't.

Here's form tables mate. Just a few of the... pfft... hundreds probably out there.

Tell me, can you think of a reason they've selected the last six or so games and not just posted the current Premier League table?

Could it possibly be because 'form' is a different thing entirely to 'overall record', no?

Nah, can't be. I and they must all be wrong.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Soz?

You said:

league table which is specifically designed to show you where you are in the league based on your form so far you absolute cretin.

That's you. That's what you said.

You are wrong. You could have corrected him on what he meant, but instead you doubled down because you don't know what form means. You quite literally corrected him about getting form wrong by... getting form wrong.

Hahaha I have not seen anyone say we got paid for him.

 

[Tilling]

Give him the season unless it's absolutely toxic behind the scenes (like Koeman), or relegation becomes a real concern, or, there's a manager Brands really wants long term becomes available, who may not have been when we went for Benitez.

I just don't think we should be making decisions based on improving this season. For me, sacking Benitez, or making signings in January won't give us the uplift this season to make it worthwhile.

This is the correct take methinks. I do not buy for a second that there is no one out available who can improve the team, but ask yourself whether you have any confidence that Everton's senior leadership can identify those people; you'll quickly come around to this line of thought!

 

[matty1878]

He really isn't.

unless your moshiri in disguise he is

 

[Marius57]

I never said he had a budget of 1.7 mil, that's what was spent.

On a budget of 1.7 million. Behave.

The great Carlo Ancelotti only managed 10th and spent 10 times as much.

 

[catcherintherye]

If I'm on the board and think we need two in to be 100% sure of safety, then I'd say sack the manager.

This squad shouldn't be getting relegated. This squad was closer to the title than relegation last season.

If the board think relegation is plausible, they absolutely need to sack Benitez in January because he'd be failing at the minimum expectation.

Does relegation not feel a possibility currently mate?

Can you link these reports please.

Also, if they paid 8.8m, plus his wages, we would surely have more than 10m to spend?

Yet you are saying we only have between 5-10m which includes a few mil we already had.
