2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[BlueToff]

Saw that story and presumed it was a wind up .

Nah it's not there's a photo of the shirt somebody had put on Facebook lol

 

[BlueToff]

The longer he stays the more he’ll hope to try and wear down the fanbase to accept his lower standards, it’ll never be acceptable to let him turn us into his Newcastle side. Thankfully the majority of the fanbase won’t succumb to this other than the few cucks that are spreading their cheeks for him

he already has done by playing 541, which is his answer to defensive problems. Just play 10 men behind the ball.

I’m no defender of the man, but that’s a no-win situation to be put in.

If he signs it, he’s still a red. If he doesn’t sign it, he’s a jerk.

The simple fact is he shouldn’t be our manager, and therefore that eventuality should never have arisen.

Yeah I know mate, it was only a joke.

Him being ex RS is way, way down the reasons why I think he shouldn't be here

Yeah I’ve seen screenshots but still all looks a bit fake . If its real it feels not great but suspect its rubbish , who knows these days like .

Like I say I’ve no idea if its true but that’s a very good assessment. It’d feel a bit dirty but its a complete no win . however feeling dirty and disconnected is my current go to position and ,unusually at it feels for me at least I’m not enjoying it.

I don't think the girl who tweeted it has gone to that extreme, mate

Agreed. It's not top of the list, by any means.

But what that does to the fanbase is so toxic, I think it elevates its importance in a rational judgement about him not being the man for the job.

Several more IN votes have appeared overnight ?‍ I can only assume that these voters watch the match through special glasses

 

[S of S]

As much as I dislike him I cannot see why someone would be offended in him signing a reds@@@e shirt.

Wonder what Dave makes of Benitez signing a Liverpool 2005 shirt when he got off the coach at Hull...

lol

Is that all you lot have got left after Operation Pitchfork died a death?

To indulge you: my reaction is that it's a fake and that if it was genuine I'd shrug my shoulders and think 'who gives a flying one what he signs'.

Tragic. Utterly tragic.

Folks, if Alan Ball, when manager of City saw an Everton jersey, do you think he wouldn't sign it?

I worked in 3 Government Departments over 37 years before, thankfully, retiring last month. I still respect my previous Departments while giving my all to my last one

Not really the same thing is it?

 

[ArtetaMoney]

We concede a lot of goals for a team with a defensive minded manager.

 

[Bluerover]

It's about being a professional. You should give your all to your current role. I am still concerned about RB but I will give him more time. He has inherited a mess of a squad. Yes he is very well paid, but so have been the last six managers.

 

[davek]

"He signed an RS jersey lad"

You really know the revolt against Benitez has hit the buffers when tosh like that is all they have left.

 

[Blues Harp]

Spending the Digne money in advance that.

Where's the £10-15 million required to pay Benitez and his backroom staff off coming from?

Where's the £60+ million budget required to tempt a Kovac into joining coming from?

Where's your multi coming from?
