The fat man put us in this mess and in a last stand of spite he made it near impossible for the man following him to succeed by selling our best players.

There's a case to be made for Benitez never really having a chance because of the fans reaction to him. I don't think now is the right time for this argument though. I do think some that moan about decisions made at the club though should reflect on the consequences of their actions in driving Benitez out because they totally destroyed his authority over the players. That really was an own goal

Benitez's results were untenable. But to sack an experienced manager with a proven track record and replace him with an unproven inexperienced novice with no record other than a good PR advisor was a dereliction of duty. Were people genuinely expecting an improvement?
Lampard wasn't brought in to be as bad - or worse - than Benitez. He was brought in as the solution. We'd have been as well off to leave Benitez in charge if Lampard was going to get the results that he now has. We'd have saved on compensation at least.
Now, we need a final punt on a long-shot Hail Mary play. Even though it's almost hopeless, it's all we have left.

To put it mildly, players aren't daft. They could see the fans with banners demanding Benitez be removed, fat spanish waiter and all that stuff. Those players were all thinking ... 'why should I pull my plums out trying to learn this fellas plans and ideas etc when he ain't going to last... they already want him gone...'
You can argue of course that the reaction by some was predictable. When that decision was made and he was appointed though, that should have been the end of it and he should have been judged the same as the other managers. I just think he never stood a chance and it spiraled from there.
I think the time for this inquest is at the end of the season though.
