The way they followed Benitez was cringeworthy tbh. Even over here, every Kopite I know treated him like the 2nd coming of Christ, while in reality he only ruined the foundations layed by his pre-successor Gerard Houlier. Sure he won the European Cup with them, but from then on it was a downward slide for him, even though he spend vast amounts of money.
Can't understand how any set of supporters can be blinded by one person, like the RS have. Only now some of them are starting to see that Benitez wasn't a god send gift. At least not for them.
Twas ever thus, mate. They've always had that cult of the individual. That's part of their identity - to worship individuals. It's something that sets them apart from Everton. Sure, we have an icon in Dixie Dean. But the emphasis has not been, generally speaking, to elevate men into Gods. There's something weirdly primitive about them. It's like those Boca fans who made Maradona into an officially registered religion. That's something Kopites would do.
