2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[DanB90]

Aye but my point was surely he must have been able to see the risk of looking a massive tit if it didn't work, but maybe he just doesn't care

Ahh I see.
I think you hit the nail on the head in your previous post. Massive payment whether he succeeds or fails. Plus the ability to blame everyone else for his own shortcomings.

You'd be reading an awful lot into the back of one result.

Is the reverse true if we get battered (again)?

If the players have downed tools we won't pick up another single point if they aint even trying.

A battling performance tonight and a point or three taken and this fella has control of the club.

He needs to go today along with all the rest of those in decision making positions

I'm not convinced he club will function better when no one's in a decision-making position but it's worth a shot.

Absolute agenda driven nonsense

Modern day footballer. I'm alright Jack. Get paid for mediocre performances, can’t get sacked unless it's something stupid. They are untouchable.

So if we win today the manager gets all the credit?

If we lose today the players get all the blame.

Nice to see you're taking a fair and balanced approach with your indifference.

This time their manager has taken them into a relegation fight so I can't blame them if they don't have any faith in the man.

Can you tell me you would be backing a man who has seen the team not pick up a win in over 2 months?

It's natural to lose belief when your boss clearly doesn't have a clue.

and the major problem with this unit of a team is that we dont have the fighters as we did in the past, if push really came to shove, ala Wimbledon, this lot would bottle it in the first 5 minutes! desperate, desperate times ahead and if, as we suspect they have lost faith with Benitez then its a very troubling combination.

Not even a win. If we get a 0-0 apparently the ship is righted and the pig is in total command .

Benitez, cant lose now, he has the perfect excuses for any failure that occurs and gets paid either way, he has in fairness played a blinder

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Reads as "benitez is happy to go along with moshiri's meddling".

They have a common interest in playing pro clubs. Sadly for us it is with our club.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Am I interpreting some of today's arguments in here right? Namely, thst the players downed tools because of Brands and only by Big Daddy Benny the Tez putting in the slap down on him will we see them perform?

Wowzers.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

As scattergun as Moshiri's decision making is, I find it utterly astounding that he's picked Benitez of all people as the hill he wants to die on.

 

[davek]

A win and a decent 3rd round draw tonight and the world will look a mightily better place.

 

[Ufotone]

I guess we'll soon see if the players want to put any effort in for Mr Benitez

No effort tonight or against Palace and he's gone I reckon. No manager will or should keep their job with such poor results.

The Brands departure is all theatre, got to be seen to be doing something about the collapse in progress.

I'm not sure that's being claimed.

But the players will know executive action has been taken and they can expect a crowd tonight expectant that the blood-letting has gone some way to clearing the air.
