2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[ArtetaMoney]

Everyone needs to chill out a bit.

I think he we give him time and allow him to coach the players in to playing in the way in which he wishes, we should be safe from relegation by the end of the season.

Then we only have to wait till deadline day in the summer, before we panic buy another couple of gems.

 

[GedMoore]

His last game will be the derby

once the Kopites start singing his name around Goodison it will be the final nail

I hear The Ox might be available for £30m........

 

[Colonel Getafe]

they'll probably only sing his name until the 6th goal goes in, then it'll Salah's name they're singing instead....... ?

3 losses in 9 games with no budget and an injury crisis.

I'll take that.

Keep saying "no budget" enough times and it become's a real facht.

£60 mil in failed bids says otherwise.

But yanno he spent months assessing the squad & thought it capable.
It will be his downfall.

That’s only 29mil over our budget.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

That’s only 29mil over our budget.

You're forgetting the £40m we bring in from the sale of Calvert-Lewin after being bullied in the transfer window for the 983648236th time

It wont be, fans can moan all they like but he will just brush it off, and behind the scenes the club no they need his stability, its grim but thats the reality, after the way Carlo set us back this is the way its going to be for a while

 

[4737carlin]

Anyway we need Death back to give the thread some balance, come on Mods!!

If there was 60 million available, don't you think it would have been used.

United are the only one of the big sides we have faced though.

Rubbish. If he had cash it would be spent. Papers may claim bids but according to them we were in for about 26 players.

8th in the league after going through a catastrophic injury crisis and having spent less than £2M in the summer.

We have players to come back end of November and December. We'll have a couple of signings in during January.

I'm relaxed.

The task since the season started hasn't changed:

• 45 points and safety by Easter
• try and get 50+ points and comfortably top half

Next summer hand Benitez the Richarlison cash plus another £50M from sales + a transfer kitty of some description.

It's all good.

Dave, I remember you making that 'Black Saturday' thread when we drew to Bournemouth and Richarlison got sent off for headbutting that kopite rat.

How have your standards fallen so!?

Edit: please god can bournemouth not get promoted next year FFS.

I don't know if you get to the game mate but take it from me it is down to the manager, when he took Gordon off there was toxic verbal all over the gaff aimed at Benitez, it was the same at the end of the game and we're not talking of a few 'Geordies' here.

The boos and disdain to withdrawing Gordon was the loudest I have heard in two decades at such a situation.

God, it pains me massively to agree with you on anything!!! Pained and wincing agreement is yours, nevertheless. (Should have used a question mark after 'used' , obviously).
