2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Bluestar]

100% of managers in the premier league would be sacked after such a start, unless they had banked serious amounts of goodwill beforehand. (Bielsa/Dyche)

Or the injuries and amount of investment are taken into account.

Nope

As if other teams dont get injuries. Never seen that used as a justification for keeping for a failing manager, not at this level anyway.

Too much at stake. Or it should be.

But Moshiri is making an idiot of us all.

 

[Bluestar]

nope

Maybe not by you, but I think that is in the owners mind.

yes the owner is the only thing keeping him in place.

 

[blue to the bone]

Nope just don’t get that as unfortunately the manager and team are as one.. if the manager does well the team does well and visa versa.. if you want the manager to do badly because you don’t like him then you have to fully accept it will be at the detriment of the team..

Your choice am afraid... team and manager do well... or.... team and manager do badly... you can’t split them.. doesnt work like that...

It's Christmas eve . And you are on the forum of a team you do not support defending a manager that a lot of people don't like .
Seems strange to me

I wonder what an RS fan site thread relating to Herr Klipp looks like? Are they all worshipping at his altar or does he get any criticism? Must be boring..

 

[Dixieslaces]

You chat wham.

Fixed?

I don't think Christmas is that big in Dalian.

What people must understand is the people above thought very very carefully before appointing Benitez.. nobody else had that many interviews so he had quite a grilling about his plans going forward.. for that reason they were hardly gonna get shut of him after a couple of bad runs or results.. they would of known about the backlash so were prepared to rough it out..
I honestly believe Benitez does have a plan but things out of his control have gone against him and for that reason people need to be patient.. he has the knowledge and experience to sort this out.

Like we should trust what the almighty "People above" think. Their record for getting it right in the past is hardly reassuring.

The people above dont have a clue though, and often act irrationally.

He will stay if he does well, and go if he doesnt IMO.

Chinese New year tho.... nowhere to be seen

Utter bullshit

Think you are spot on with that.. it’s all about how he’s doing when all his players are available.. he has been given sufficient funds and the team is playing his style of football..

Your completely right about the people above not having a clue that’s why a DOF should be out of the question.. stupid made up role... I file that role along with another modern football term... of Gardening Leave...

 

[everton1953]

I have come around to accept that even the ones who desperately want Rafael out still want Everton to win. I confess to thinking the opposite and I was wrong.

Can't wait for the year if the tiger. Hopefully my team Shen Yang can get promotion!

Either he's getting paid or is a couple of cans short of a slab
