Benitez is a fat whopper

[BlueStevie35]

Patterson, Mykolenko & Gray for a combined £30 millions is fantastic business.

Say what you want about his time here but he put Brands and Walsh to shame in the market pound for pound.

Brands had both Pats and Myko scouted long before that tit rocked up

Yeah but the fact remains they were signed on his watch, Brands deserves no credit for anything.

TBF he helped us (Chelsea) win the Europa League and get 3rd in the league when he was interim manager, so that could be construed as a job well done, especially as our lot hated him almost as much as you lot do/did…

Played against awful teams in uefa cup though, I barely even count that role as he didn't have enough time to cause his usual level of damage

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Is he still out of work? that does surprise me..

 

[Martin Alvito]

Yeah but the fact remains they were signed on his watch, Brands deserves no credit for anything.

Brands bricked about half his signings, which is pretty typical for a DoF. His performance was average. How much of that was dictated by the execution of a bankrupt overall strategy, and how much of that strategy originated with Moshiri, is unclear.

By contrast, Walsh and Koeman were catastrophic. The only real redeeming facet of their tenure is the DCL and Gueye buys. At what they paid for Pickford in that market, he should be expected to work out.

He is probably waiting for the Newcastle job which will become available soon.
I would love it if they turned to him

 

[ilikecheese]

Yes. Yes he is.

 

[Nymzee]

Wasn’t he supposed to have all these top job offers lined up?

I think he spent his resurrection credits in the Super League.

To his credit, he was way out in front of COVID. He is no dummy. I suspect that there is a Prem club out there that could be happy with him in the short term.

I wouldn't say Chelsea fans hated him almost as much as us. I didn't see any Chelsea fans polishing the lamp posts outside their ground so they'd look good in the photos with an xxl neck sized noose hanging from them.

Won’t work in the Prem again unless it’s some real desperate team like Newcastle.

I think he can work in the short term. I am very cynical about his long-term prospects.

His “working short term” here was all of about 5 games.

Newcastle also brought him in firstly short term, to save them, and he didn’t.
