2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Mosh Pit]

...but but but, we're getting relegated.

Thats not my concern Dave. Its not realistic.

My concern is simply that the last 3 months have been so draining and disappointing.

They make me not enjoy watching my team.

Its clear to everybody that there's issues with players,

But it's also clear to 95% of our fanbase that Rafael is a dinosaur and a tactical genius should be able to get a tune out of this team.

He isn't.

He needs to go

 

[Efcjake]

I’ve not said that. I just think the nature of those types of chants are unsavoury against anyone. It’s got nothing to do with his performance as a manager.

That's exactly what's motivating the chants

While twitter sources are usually full of BS, it does seem that this “El Bobble” has at least some form of inside line at the club. He’s called several things ahead of them being made public.

Bobble knows people in the game, and unlike pretty much every other ITK out there does have a connection (by all accounts).

Some of the players have screwed the pooch for their careers now. Any perception that might have existed that some of these players were good enough probably finally went when they were failing abysmally under Ancelotti. That they’ve kept doing it under Benitez has just shown to Moshiri clear as day that this lot are utterly hopeless whoever manages them. They’ve been toilet under Koeman Silva Allardyce Ancelotti and now Benitez. The firing of Brands showed that Moshiri’s patience is gone now. These players are on their way out and not before time.

He needs to keep his head as the fans are used once again by the failing players and coaches to get another manager sacked, and he needs to get Benitez to January and hand him a transfer chest by selling 2/3 of them so he can replace them with players he can trust. Then in the summer get to somewhere like completing the job and finally have these players and coaches out and down the road.

The failing players want that galloot in so the easy life at Everton's expense continues.

Nil satis nisi 3 points off the top half

Got to say something now the injury story is carrying a lot less weight. 1.7million is over used and Brands has gone. He's well and truly being exposed.

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

We’ll lose to Chelsea, if it’s very bad (4 or 5) then he might go, otherwise it’s last chance saloon v Leicester. That game could be the most toxic I’ve ever known.

He’s got a week left, maximum.

Don’t get my hopes up!!

Viva El Bobble.

 

[catcherintherye]

Viva El Bobble.

Just passing on what's been said mate.

No idea about the Kenwright thing like. Bill could easily have planted that, and its the sort of thing he will do.

 

[Tommy F]

The only reason we don't attack Moshiri is because he has cash, lets face it.

I doubt he thinks that spending any more money, including severance payments, is a good way to handle what he has left after wasting £0.5n plus

 

[MACCA75]

We’ve given the keys of the club to a man that had his Newcastle team pass the ball to the Man City keeper at kick off so they could get straight into their defensive shape.

It’s a catastrophe.

...and "The Bobble" would knowingly repeat for him?

Anyway, we got there in the end.

 

[Lob]

"The Bobble" posted his comment barely a few minutes after the final whistle. What are you suggesting: he's seated with Kenwright and privvy to his trans-Atlantic conversations as the game came to a close?

Unreal.

Literally.

You are just making things up mate. He posted that at 8:37pm which is about 2 and a half hours after the final whistle.

The lad has a history of being reliable no matter how much you don't want him to be. Whatever floats your boat though i suppose.

 

[davek]

Strange that all these haters went away after we beat Arsenal.

 

[Carlito]

Moshiri seems very gullible to me. He also is quite reactionary (in that he reacts quite quickly).

The statement the other day was essentially saying he had a few games to save his job.

I'm not sure he even waits to make sure he has a replacement lined up (or anything so sensible).

A big defeat at Chelsea may cause him to act.

There was a definite sense of panic in the build-up to the Arsenal game, but I think it was more down to fears about the fans making a scene on MNF than anything else.

I hope I'm wrong, but after the spate of recent departures (especially Brands), I feel as though Benitez has Moshiri's ear, and has perhaps convinced him that he's the man to clean up this mess.

Part of that spiel will no doubt have included the baked-in excuse that results and performances are beyond the manager's control until he's able to buy his own players.

 

[Blues Harp]

He will now post some absolute horse turd to deflect from what you just proved, that being he is a weird, contradictory WUM.

Hell be shouting for Starmer next(who is better than Rondon anyway)
