It would be remarkable if this board appointed Benitez to then entertain sacking him after 14 league games - especially given the number of injuries.
Spurs held their hands up quickly with Nuno Santo but he was always very low on their list.
I'm of the view that keep Benitez unless there's any chance of relegation. Review that late January.
I'm also of the view that we should treat Benitez almost as interim and replace him at Everton's convenience/whenever any longer term manager choice becomes available.
Wasn't Benitez very far down our list? We were linked with every man and his dog before he arrived.
