I'm no longer worried about relegation: the club has been dicing with death for 30 years. If we go, we go. The club needs a clear out from top to bottom. Benitez hasn't been backed, has lost half a team, and is incapable of getting a tune out of the detritus remaining. He could take us down in a perfect storm, which is now approaching. And sacking him will make little difference. We've sacked multiple managers, but we always end up back here. Is a successor really going to be backed in the market in January if Benitez isn't?
Everton have been making up the numbers since Howard Kendall was allowed leave in 1987. In the past, when we got into dire straits, we could sack a failing manager, such as Koeman or Silva. These guys had been left to fester for too long, and their removal was cathartic. This time? We have a manager who has been here a wet week with almost zero backing and a never-ending injury crisis. What will sacking genuinely achieve? It'll give some deep satisfaction...but we'll be no nearer to progressing as a football club because the problems at this club run far deeper and much higher. So, if we go, we go. It'll be richly deserved.
