If they’d had a single brain cell between them interested in self preservation they should have kept or re-hired Rafael as most of you would have been too busy fulminating at him to see who the real villains of this whole mess have been.
Last summer a new manager started at Everton as the old one left us in the lurch. We got rid of James, Kean, Bernard and Siggurdson was unavailable. The board gave that new manager 1.5 million to replace those 4 players. How they must have laughed when they realised where Everton fan anger was directed.
What a perfect cover, so many boss blues so desperate to show what an absolutely top match going blue they were that they couldn’t put aside their blind hatred of an ex Liverpool manager to see for one second that the board had absolutely shafted us. They couldn’t even see through the red mist for a single second to an even easier thought that it might be more sensible to blame the people who hired Rafael in the first place than to blame the mercenary football manager who got offered 100k a week to work round the corner from his gaffe.
No, all far too busy trying to smash a pawn off the chessboard whilst the king and queen checkmated the whole club. Loads said at the time that the manager was largely irrelevant, nothing would change unless fundamental problems at the club were fixed: injuries, recruitment, FFP stranglehold, the lazy culture amongst the players. But no, the intelligent responses to this were just ‘fat fat sack sack’. Well we did sack him and wtf happened? Only exactly what people warned would….absolutely nothing.
The best thing Lampard did for Everton was finally lifting the fog. Here was the anti Benitez, a young progressive manager, 433, close to the players, a man manager, got the fans, got the club….and ended up in the exact same position if not even worse.
The same position every other manager before was headed for when Koeman got fired, when Silva got fired, when Allardyce got fired, where even Carlo Ancelotti (probably in the top few greatest managers of all time) was potentially heading. But when this was pointed out time and time again some on here just didn’t want to know because they couldn’t stop throwing darts at Benitez’s face for five seconds to see the bigger picture. Two managers later and a transfer window where we’ve bought no one and there’s still a few people on here more angry at him than the architects of the last 30 years of decline!
Moshiri should have re-hired Benitez instead of Dyche if he wanted to cover his own back as this thread wouldn’t have nearly as many pages and no one would be under threat of getting headlocked at Goodison (well apart from Benitez).
The sad sad truth however, is some of you couldn’t stop looking at the red rag for long enough to see the club destroying bulls behind it.
It’s not even just Benitez (before one of the inevitable top blues pipes up to prove the exact point of this whole post). The same was happening under Moyes. Season after season of having his best players sold, his squad decimated by injuries, rivals outspending him by massive amounts, and yet most Evertonians just couldn’t get away from ‘if he’d just gone for it a bit more we’d have won the Fa Cup’ ‘Hibbert and Osman right side though’ ‘yeah but no away wins at the top 4’ ‘dithering Dave’ . Such stupid small time thinking as Kenwright got away Scot free with undermining a brilliant manager who probably single-handedly saved our club from liquidation. Nah but all you hipster top footy fans knew better, a bit of 433 some passing coaching, and a can do attitude, and we’d be there, Roberto will deliver it…sin miedo….until he didn’t.
The sad thing is that Dyche is probably good enough to steer us away from relegation in the second half of this season, and if he does, most of the fans will go back to moaning about whatever Carragher and Neville tell them to moan about on sky sports rather than having any desire to fix the main underlying problems at the club.
In fact they’ll probably go back to their favourite thing of all to do which is moaning about Benitez…which is exactly what the board would want because it means you’re not moaning about them.

This team isn’t winning 7 games til the end of the season mate. Dyche isn’t saving us, absolute fantasy.
See, oh ye of little faith, not all doom and gloom, there's always a silver lining, aren't you glad at least one person is happy?
Nah, it has to be me, me, me, woe is me, poor us, wailey, wailey, wailey. lol

It’s not even the club that’s done that, it’s decades of his stage productions that got him his wealth
Will they turn up at the weekend or is it still not safe
More likely is that when the dust settles Jenny...in his name obvs...will end up owning the whole shooting match for a nominal tenner
This ( in my opinion) is probably the best post that I have ever read on here.
Brilliant mate !.
Lads need to accept also that Billy BS was saved by Moyes being a magician on miniscule funding. That's the only thing that kept us afloat during his maladministration of the club.

Mate 22 million he made when he sold up no way he had anywhere near that before

They’ve basically stuck two fingers up to everybody today.
They clearly aren’t fazed and are happy to see the club go down. Incredible when you consider how much money has already been put into the stadium.
Can only hope there are buyers ready to step in.

Moyes was an absolute genius who staved off the fate we now find ourselves in for an entire decade yet he tried to sign one of our players one time so all the top blues now hate him. Beyond stupidity.
Appointing Benitez was still an absolutely ridiculous thing to do. And it was a guaranteed failure.
Agree with a lot of the rest.
But no sensible and competent Everton hierarchy appoints Benitez

Exactly…so why wasn’t the vitriol directed at them?
There was more passion in the flaming ‘Je suis Lucas’ movement than there was in the 27 mins protest against the board ffs!
