You are being completely disingenuous if you’re saying the mere fact that Benitez is here isn’t causing toxicity. He should never have been appointed for this reason. There is absolutely no way on this earth that he can be a success here under the current conditions at the club, it’s impossible.
I mentioned this last night.
Any goodwill or support he may have received by a minority of the fans will have evaporated with yesterday alongside our worst form in over twenty-years.
We can't ignore the failings of the board, previous managers and the likes of Walsh and the results of all those, but we also can't pretend Benitez is blameless.
When you put it all together, it's naive to believe that he'll ever be in a position where the supporters are accepting. It's unsustainable.
I've heard snippets of Moshiri sending a message to Jim White and I can only cringe at what he's probably said; the whole thing is amateurish.
