It’s actually horrific when you see it laid out isn’t it ? Where was the due diligence before appointing him and looking at that list , regardless of anything else that should have disqualified him instantly.
Unfortunately it fits in with most of the crap that we've bought over the last five seasons as well its almost like he had a hand in all our transfers before he came here.
 
People dont like to hear it but Benitez wasn't backed this summer - if he had £100 million who knows he may have brought in a top class CB to partner Mina to play zonal marking well, a solid RB and a monster CM alongside Doucoure to play the 442 well enough.

We don't know because we haven't given him the chance!
If's, maybe's, could's. Might as well say he might of gone out an blown half of it on Longstaff, Dwight Gayle and Paul Dummett right from the offset because he knows those kinds of lads, or results might have been better had he stuck with the defensive system everyone knew and was used to instead of throwing it out the window. "If" Potter had been here with £100m we might have Lamperty and Bissouma. "If" Lampard were here he might have brought half the Chelsea academy with him. When was the last time Rafael had shown himself to be getting top players in the transfer market?

True but you have to give them the chance.

Imagine you go for a job interview and the boss basically says " you have the job but im giving you little to no training or tools to do this job well enough so crack on first thing monday morning"

Assistant manager: "John dont you think we should try give him some training?"

"nah he may turn out shiote at the job anyways"

That's literally what has happened this summer.

Ive said in the last couple of years when we have discussed needing a new keeper when pickfords been poor, that we should have been looking at him. His stats considering the team he is in are decent. He has had a few injuries recently mind but until ASM and Wilson, he has been their standout player.

Rubbish.
He took the job, knowing full well he’d have limited funds.

He came out with load of nonsense about how he’d analysed all of the squad and how he’d get the best out of them, with one or two additions, he’d get them fit and organised.

Plus, he knew that he’d have little money to spend.

So, nothing was sprung on him.

You really are getting desperate now.

Your cv is full of amazing experience and you have achieved a lot so you are highly rated and we need you to do the minimum of avoiding relegation. You say you are more than capable of that, have analysed everything you will have available and have said you can get us top 7. But you want us to do lots of training for you because you aren't actually good enough for the job......

Is he good enough or not? You act like he hasn't had a choice in whether he took the job or not.

Wow that is one scary list, possibly scarier than a Brands list.
