2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[bcblue1878]

I'm glad he opted to sign a more experienced rightback..... oh yeah HE DIDN'T

Or cover at left back, after the Small and Nkounkou were "allowed" to leave!

Brands should have walked last summer as he had no influence on managers, coaching staff or now it seems players.

Useless appointment if he can’t do the job in his JD.

Think idealistically yeah he should have resigned.
However, if I was offered silly money to be effectively useless for a year or so I'd bite your hand off so can't really blame him.

Just hope that Benitez can pull a few more gems from the market to prove Farhad right and everyone else wrong.

Ended well for Sir Alex Ferguson.

Moyes is another who people love who fits this profile.

Its why the average manager only lasts 2-3 years these days because the millennial players dont like being told what to do.

Case in point is Everton over the past 5-6 seasons.

….ha, ha. Stand next to SAF as I have and listen to him encouraging and supporting his players to express themselves & not worry about making mistakes. SAF is renowned throughout the business world as being a great leader, high profile companies pay him for giving them speeches.

SAF makes a phone call and brings Ronaldo to OT, Benitez makes a phone call and brings Rondon to Goodison.

To compare his style to Benitez who ‘seeks confrontation & thrives on confrontation’ is laughable.

yes, Ferguson hated confrontation. Ask his no2 for ten years, Roy Keane, he'll tell you.

Alex Ferguson was not like that though, and neither was Moyes.

Off the top of my head, David Beckham and Roy Keane disagree.

….he was a tough manager & he had his hair dryer moments but he didn’t seek confrontation or thrive on it. He was a winner, he was also a magnificent coach, arguably the best of the modern era.

So that's all it is then? Money? That's all the club stands for?

We cant even spend the money we have got!

Can't win either way there anyway, Either Moshiri is good because he has put his money in and is building us a new stadium or he is not good and if that's the case then it's Kenwright's fault for bringing him in?

It can't be both can it?

I just find it incredible, kenwright still gets support by some of our fans and is not seen as a problem. Unbelievable

This was the man looking 24/7 and wouldn’t sell his club to just anyone

I’m sorry, how long was Roy Keane at Manchester United for under Alex Ferguson, including being his captain….was it 12 years??

Literally nothing like Benitez

have you read his autobiography? cos this doesn't sound like the chap in there. The bloke I read about absolutely thrived on confrontation. To paint ism as some sort of enlightened leader compared with Benitez is way off. He practised losing his rag in front of the mirror for chrissakes

To be fair he was under massive pressure to sell by the end - due diligence may have fallen by the wayside

 

[nsno-chris]

But we do not know if it is true, that is the point and you have proved what I am saying. People taking stories like this and believing them and turning it in to anti Rafael/board.club nonsense

So the story is don’t believe anything from journalists ever, only believe stuff that comes from the club?

So anything that ever comes from a newspaper is not true.

 

[kenada_blue]

More "experience" he means more defensive

Only an Opinion on my part but I believe that Kenwright has been Moshiris ear piece since he came, thinking that he has all the experience and knowledge that you need to run a club successfully ha ha. You do not need Kenwright as a mentor you need to get rid of our most unsuccessful chairman

 

[Stephenlloyd]

That’s ok then. My apologies to Bill

The only words he wanted to hear, was yes Bill you can stay on. Sign here farhad

Moshiri biggest mistake not ripping the boardroom and club apart. I don’t think he will recover now. And I can’t see him changing.
It’s his club and he will do what he wants
