2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Daytripper]

A 31 year old international - who isnt Delph

You know that thing slipped my mind. Stupid me.

This manager must be wondering WTF he's signed up to here with this club.

A first team player *lost* to us and £1.5M handed to him to get two players in.

He's being hung out to dry.

And yet we are unbeaten after three...

Who’s the player lost to us? Something happened?

A 31 year old international - who isnt Delph

Let's just say, bar being an extra body, I'm not entirely convinced we've suffered. It's not like he wasn't widely considered to offer the sum total of nothing 90% of the time.

Its an asset on the books tied up though, which is obviously far from ideal.

Why can't we just release him?

 

[Daytripper]

Why can't we just release him?

Case pending I suppose.

And with meagre fair he’s doing ok despite Kev the rat desperately denials

 

[davek]

Probably not, because he was desperate to come here and would have been told about our financial situation during the process

If he didn’t, and he’s happy to accept working under a liar, then he just proves he doesn’t care as long as he’s picking up a wage

Well. the unfortunate incident that robbed him of another 1st team player was not signed up to. So he's effectively one player down form the off and that should have been made good by the owner and this clown DoF.

We need more 1st team players. The bench is paper thin quality wise.

If that’s the case, and he had any self respect he’d resign for being forced to work under the “clown”

I believe he needs needs to be charged, then gross misconduct etc kicks in and the contract can be cancelled.

He's signed up to a juicy contract that gets him 'Home'
He will put up with crap that goes with it.

He takes his responsibilities more seriously than the divvies who have employed him.

No. I dont accept that. He's still got years ahead in management and if he flops here his options to manage a big club again become remote. He will guard his status like any successful manager would.

Clearly not, being forced to work under such difficult circumstances. Good job he’s collecting that wage though or he may actually have some principles.

I dont think he's money obsessed. His generosity to a lot of charidees suggest cash is not king with him.
