2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Neiler]

No wriggle room for that. It costs a lot of cash that this club doesn't have.

There's a new-old mentality now. We sell our best players and let the manager recycle it and hand them the space to make errors as long as we're in no danger. It's a return to the Kenwright/Moyes pact.

Its a brave new world, I’ll believe if we can keep a manager for more than 18 months. Hopefully the next one. lol

Like every other manager we have had in the past decade, the players will decide how long he stays.
For his sakes, I hope Rodriguez was unpopular amongst the squad.

 

[Khalekan]

Nah.
Our current manager is the perfect match for us because we’re both going nowhere, (except for BMD of course , which itself will probably end up proving to be a figurative and literal dead end over time)

This is a very depressing post.

Made even more so by the fact it rings so very true to me.

They wont even notice he has gone, about as Irelivant to Everton going forward as Iceland.

My heart really wants him gone as soon as possible but my head says we really should give RB some time as he's been dealt a crappy hand ( I'm sure his bank account wouldn't agree ) and he should be judged as such .
Trust me , I hate myself for saying this .
If he finishes about 10th he will stay .

I want him to be our greatest success ever. I want every manager to be that, except for BFS, got to draw the line somewhere.

As the old man said, we'll see

Beginning of the end for Ballsack Benny.
Driving the best player out of the cloub to make a point, or culling the squad to make sure we have enough to pay up his contract?

 

[4737carlin]

We will see, although i guess what we wont see is James again but on the grand scale of things that's no big deal.

Start of a new beginning for Big Balls Blue Benjamin. Got rid of dead wood on massive wages. Put his foot down and now can continue to transform us. Finish top 12 get rid more deadwood add more of his own players in summer and march us towards BMD.

 

[GoldenToffee]

I hope he sticks the boot in on Rodriguez when he's announced as gone.

 

[Lord Buckethead]

Lets see what random numbers Bingo Balls Benny shouts out for the team against QPR.
How anyone things this shyster is a tactical genius, I'll never know.

 

[Lord Buckethead]

I've just had a good laugh at the comments on this misguided piece from the Newcastle Chronicle blowing smoke up Benny's bulbous bottom.

Rafa Benitez's 28 Newcastle signings rated

The former Newcastle United manager brought plenty of players to the club, many of whom are still in the first team, but how many of them were a success

Even the Horse Punchers are fed up of the propaganda poop the press are peddling, and they like him.

Thing is he has a lot of dignity so I don't think he will, besides James isnt worth wasting valuable press conference time on.

 

[NathDogg]

Any room left up Benitezs hoop lads, as there seems to be quite a few of your firmly wedged in there - must be getting cosy by now?

Saying that, it's rather large so maybe you can all stretch your legs still?

Benitez has been dealt a pretty poor hand.

You have a bloated first team squad on high wages, with many players underperforming
FFP rules restricting only approx. 2mil spent
James Rodriguez drama (I think his heart sets to leave since Carlo left)
Moise Kean transfer saga. PSG flirted with Moise Kean, and then with Richy
"You-know-who" suspended
DCL started off with injuries
Still no player succession on RB position (after 2-3 seasons??)
I think end of this season, with all high earners "deadwood" gone, hopefully, we can start to a proper recruitment plan and proper finance management.
