Not having this like, this alone was worth his wagesForced out by Benitez? You really think that? Given what we’ve seen about the clubs financials in the last 3 years? Would it not make more sense that the clubs hierarchy realised the mess they’d allowed Ancelotti to put us in and one of Benitez’ prerequisites was to get shut of the fella who thought flying home to a World Cup squad (that he wasn’t selected for) was more important than acknowledging the fans of the club who had paid his ridiculous wage? It’s not hard is it.
He played roughly 20-25 times for us in a season we finished 11th. If that’s your hope and expectation for this club then that’s on you. Not me.
He was a waste of money. We’d of finished in a similar position without giving him a million quid a month.
