2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[AsiaAsia82]

Any genuine Everton fan on the board should resign to show Moshiri that it’s not good enough.
If DBB and BK stay it’s a sign they are complicit with the situation.

Anyone else think that it’s too much of a coincidence that he’s apparently squeezing out our most saleable assets in an attempt to force a transfer request thereby easing the clubs financial issues???

No wonder moshiri is backing him….

Agreed mate, I said yesterday that I thought it was no coincidence that it was the players he could most easily sell he was falling out with.his

Apparently you need 3 board members according to the articles

It’s an untenable position now.

He’s lost the players and now the fans.

Moshiri needs to act and act fast before we’re relegation fodder.

….a lot will depend on what power the Board hold. Just looking at Kenwright and DBB, I think they feel the same as the vast majority of supporters.

i imagine Board members will be like the players this morning, discussing what a poor person and what a poor coach we have Managing our team.

If they did they wouldn’t have presided over years and years of complete failure. They’re complete non entities. Moshiri won’t listen to a word they say and why would he? They’ve been abysmally wrong on everything since Moyes left the building.

I like your optimism and understand the sentiment regarding the RS but I'm not confident of a mid-table finish for us. Hope I'm wrong.

It's 2 points away right now. How much of a pessimist do you have to be to doubt that forecast?

You just need to look at the recent points tally of 5 from 30 to doubt it

Yes agree, that’s why it’s even more critical they do it. It would mean him finding 2 new stooges but again put the crisis in the public domain - maybe he could put our current manager on the board!!

What's "The Bobbler" said?

Any more news from inside Kenwright's chaffeur driven car trans-Atlantic phone calls?

Moshiri is in no position to be lecturing anyone on 'wrong decision making' his tenure is becoming as bad if not worse than Kenwright's. The stadium really is saving his skin at the moment and he knows it.

Spin doctor.

1 win in 12 or 13
Bottom of the form table

Beat Arsenal thanks to the fans not Benitez

Fair enough if you just want Benitez out.
But could we really please stop the ridiculous excuses for it:

We’ll be relegated (highly unlikely)
He’s alienating our best players (no player at Everton is anywhere near good enough for any fan to be arsed about if they left tomorrow)
He’s fallen out with the staff at the club (from the evidence of the past 7 years the staff at the club are completely incompetent so again no tears would be shed over that)

The results aren’t good enough. That for me is the only reason from anything we’ve seen so far that would call for a dismissal. It then gets into the question of why the results aren’t good enough. For me, and it was the same as when we started losing under Ancelotti, the players simply cannot execute basic tactical instructions and even worse will make multiple game fatal mistakes in any given match. If we switch manager, these players are still here and what assurance is there they don’t do it again (considering they have for the last 5 managers?). If the players leave we at least have a chance of improving.

My strategy would be to give Benitez the January window and see if results have improved going into next year. If they haven’t then we will need to make a change. If we make a change now though then every player who thought they were at risk in January or the summer is just laughing their cock off at Everton and is probably telling their agent to push for a one year extension amongst the turmoil.
