2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Cork Evertonian]

Name me another manager who had death threats placed on banners near his house, spray painted on walls, banners hung up around the stadium and training grounds. The sheer amount of abuse he got from fans who were willingly wanting us to lose every week. Got next to nothing to spend in the summer. Etc etc.

Ha ha ha Benitez is gone mate gone, and you can go as well.

I can name three instantly, George Graham,Steve Bruce and Neil Lennon.

Neil Lennon got assaulted whilst out with his family.

That`s just off the top of my head.

Anyway, why are you still here ?

To goad people

3 months later though.

Not bothered either way tbh.

Oh yes you are!

Lost 11 mil in compensation and about to hire Rooney. We've won nothing.

11m, any sources to that?

Oh NO, he has gone. Despite my advice to give Rafael until May before making a decision, the axe has fallen. I hope it does not take until May to find a replacement. Not Duncan please. Some on here will be tongue tied with the words fat, kopite and rat rendered redundant.

It won't be long before he's boring the tits off Geordies on a Newcastle forum when Benitez goes there.

Good to see that the club didnt thank him in any way, as is usual in these departure messages.

Exactly the same amount of words as the Digne gone post which is probably not by accident.

Obviously the (geographically inaccurate) death threat was appalling behaviour. But the fact remains that the majority of fans - including, crucially, the matchgoers - were behind him at the start of the season. And then we started losing every single match and they turned. He likely got less patience from the fans than another manager would have got, but he compensated with an abundance of backing from a chairman who seemed keen to reshape the squad and the club around a manager who'd done nothing with us to prove his acumen. Ultimately, nobody made him decide to come to a club whose fanbase was primed to dislike him. Perhaps another example of his ego and hubris.

I'll say again what is apparent and inarguable: there are many things wrong with Everton FC. Their problems do not begin or end with Rafael Benitez. But he has been awful - truly, astoundingly bad - during his brief time with us, and deserves no more time and patience than he has had. I repeat: Whatever issues you may have with the fans or the players or the board, Rafael Benítez has been a very, very bad manager for us and does not deserve to remain in position.

Let's draw a line under this whole sorry affair and move on.
