And then we spent months scrambling for an out of work manager who hasn't achieved anything of note for years who lives around the corner. That reeks small time. Same as having to hire allardyce. I'd rather be small time but at least look like we are trying to achieve something.

And yes, 2 superstars of football. Ancelloti is one of the most decorated managers of all time and James was a global superstar. Why is it a bad thing to raise awareness of our club and get our name out to a wider audience? Or should we just try to only have fans who grow up around the stadium?

And being screwed over by a manager or a player isn't anything new. Why expect loyalty from anyone when a club in Europe, offering more money come along? I mean, moyes gave us 10 years and then screwed us by running his contract down knowing he was signing for united and boyhood blues Rooney and barkley both screwed us over. No point getting upset when someone leaves their job for what is deemed to be a better job.

Or to you who is still banging on about Ancelloti sacking us off as an argument about why benitez is apparently so great.

Yeah because Carlo has set us back, not as much as Koeman did but he has left us in a worse place then he came into, and Rafael has to pick up the pieces. See Roberto had a great platform to build on via Moyes, a manager who leaves and has taken the club forward is what we need, Carlo didnt, its why Rafael has a free pass this season, he has to make his own platform.
Josh KIng should be our player right now, and Rondon never would of been looked at if so.

Show me the Benitez banner? Are there any Bentiez chats? We had them for Carlo, and made total fools of ourselves when he bailed soon as he could.
Its one thing on social media but at an actual game its very small time. Also 2 superstars of football ??? One, to raise awerness of the club, again small time

You think carlo, who had us finish in 10th, left us in a worse place than he took over? Silva had us in the relegation zone. We ended on 49 points in Carlos first season and he got us to 59 points the next season, which a poster on here said earlier would nearly always get Europe.

He had us defending on the whole fairly well, especially set pieces which we are useless at now. Before the injury crisis he had, he had us performing well and we were high up the table. We might have had king now, but that doesn't mean benitez wouldnt have insisted on rondon as well. We also have Allan because of Carlo.

Silva in his full season got 8th, Carlo got 10th, yes he took us backwards, even Koeman got a 7th, Roberto gave us a 5th, so yes, Carlo was the worst failure since Walter Smith but even for Walter his drill was to avoid relegation and he did that.
Carlo was a disaster, Moyes was better, Silva was better, Koeman was better, Moyes was certainly better, Roberto gave us a great season, all Carlo did was fail and leave.

And this is where the points/places debate would take place. But I can't be bothered with that again because other than martinez 1st season and that one good season by koeman (by 2 points) before he went to play golf, he scored more points and had more wins than any of them got in a season.

Yeah, embarrasing, and we laugh at Geordies and Kopites and do this?

Apart from the swear words ive no problem with fans expressing their well entitled opinions about the club they love. Its their club, their sheets, their paint and their right to express their opinion to owners who arent popping onto GOT to see what fans think about their decisions. Without the swear words i dont think its embarrassing at all.
