Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[blue to the bone]

Rafael is blameless, wasnt him who injured the players, wasnt him who over the last few years built a shocking squad.
Shame it didnt work out for him, but it wasnt for the lack of trying, something we cant say about his scumbag predecessor.

You really are a full on whopper aren't you.

Sooner a new manager is in, sooner we can start making the “insert name here” OUT flags

Hurry up mosh

Why? How is he wrong when he says this crisis is 6 years in the making?

Why is he wrong to point out that Benitez put it in on the training ground and Ancelotti didn't?


There's nothing remotely controversial about either claim.

@davek Martinez has wanted Vermaelen there.

KDB has said recently that Vermaelen was pretty much acting like a coach anyway.

Belgium lost Maloney to the Hibs jobs last month too.

Exactly. It's a transitional phase.

Dave, Martinez's first season was our most enjoyable one in years, but, in our current position, he would relegate us. Unfortunately, and I like the man, his sides seem to have a soft centre, not ideal for a relegation battle. Imagine him trying to get us playing his short passing game when most of our players have little movement and poor control of the ball.
He really would be a terrible appointment.

I'm not particularly advocating it (though if it's between RM and the clueless galloot it's a no brainer).

I'm merely pointing out that you'd be unwise to rule out the club returning for him in the next fortnight, and Belgium's moves to get 'oven-ready' coach Vermaelen in makes that more likely.

“Benitez is blameless”

“Benitez is blameless”

In the respects that were being highlighted by @4737carlin, he was.

No, he wasnt.

 

[davek]

No, he wasnt.

Oh right, thanks for explaining that.

FFS.

 

[brieverton]

Have a feeling Lampard is going to get it.

Dave we lost to Norwich who have been dreadful and hadn't scored for over a month. Yes there are systemic issues, a dreadful squad and numerous injuries but a supposedly legendary manager of his pedigree should of been able to tactically devise a method to beat Norwich also got trounced by an abysmal Watford whose starting striker is Josh King . So yeah he's culpable

No manager gets us up the table with a season of the attackers and our best CB in the treatment room.

Except the “Benitez is blameless” came first, implying it’s the overarching point of the post

Let's hope that happens.

We are DESPERATE.
