2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[kenada_blue]

"Rafael is a top manager" says Robbie Keane.

When?

I actually disagree with this. If we had won 3 more games by now we would have been 10th and I don’t think many fans would be calling for him to be out. The biggest problems we are seeing are the same week in week out.

Rubbish.
Most wanted him out from the minute he was appointed.

If Benitez is feeling down today, he should be comforted knowing that our ex-managers are some of the most sought after in world football. I expect him to be Juventus or Bayern's next head coach.

No director of football and no manager

Don't sweat it: Mosh played a game of sebbuteo in 1984 - we'll be fine!......

Fun fact I have just learned.

Carlo ancelotti was succeeded at real Madrid by Rafael benitez.

Fast forward to last summer and ancelotti leaves us , replaced by Rafael benitez.

Both times benitez was sacked the following January

Hopefully we keep copying madrid and Zidane wins 3 CLs in a row

Because he is past it and it was obvious how it would go.

Why why why did we let him sign three players just days before sacking him?

because only letting him have 2 wouldn't have been typically Everton enough of us...?!? ?‍

I think there will be a lot coming out from this.

Wouldn't be surprised if Rafael didn't have a say in any of this.

So are you admitting you know nothing? Because only like a week ago you were saying it was his decision.

I don’t think that’s true. People on the forum maybe, but not people at the games, most were prepared to give him a chance and see what he could do, even if they would not have picked him.

A vocal minority did. Once he was announced people got behind him and the team. See the Arsenal game and the "protest".

He lost 9 out of 12 games. 9.

That's ends any manager at any club unless you're a relegation candidate

 

[Bungle]

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.

Understandable that he has a special place in your heart and you'd be upset by his treatment, but I don't think anyone really cares and you should scuttle off back under your little kopite rock knobhead.

Right, because he famously keeps his mouth shut and never publicly throws club leadership under the bus to protect himself.

The reasons are irrelevant and varied. The undisputed truth remains that most wanted him out from the start. FACHT
