2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[Kev The Rat]

I honestly can't believe loads of you have watched these cowards down tools and half arse their way through massive portions of each season for years and have a problem with a manager trying to impose discipline.

It's staggering.

well he’s driven out or is in the process of driving out our best players and replaced them with Rondon and is on a run of 2 wins in 12 so yes his approach is a cause for concern

BS. Everyone knew we had no money to spend in the summer. Every credible source stated we would hit FFP if we spent money without selling players. So we’re was he getting £20m from for Dumfries?. Wasn’t Brands moaning the other day saying we couldn’t really afford Godfrey?.

Brands spreading lies to the Athletic and gullible fans lapping it up.

I love how you never mention Gray only Rondon.

Bore off with your constant agenda Kevin lol

I agree. Seems any excuse is jumped on with both feet and glee.

Oh Spadge you hate me so much yet you spend 90% of your forum time talking about me or responding to my posts when I literally give you no passing thought.

I live in your head rent free and even I am starting to feel desperate for you.

That's great but think of it more along the lines that you are like a wayward little child that keeps sticking things in the plug sockets and smearing poo on the walls. I am one of the grown ups who keeps having to remind that your behaviour is not appropriate. <pats its head> ?

You cant talk reason with the Benitez oot Brigade.

"Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes truth"

Why don’t you explain how they’re the same. I don’t think you’re old enough to even remember Ferguson at his prime

I’ve already shown my appreciation for that signing to Brands

In your world you're funny in everyone elses you just look obsessed with me lad.

I much preferred you when you posted a lot less and not on the wind up - since Orly/Moomin have gone you've took it upon yourself to become the "forum joker" and you're just no good at it mate lol

Its ok to be normal.

 

[nsno-chris]

It’s like North Korea in here

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Now that the manager has near enough the full team back I think this might be worth a punt.

 

[BlueToff]

That depends on if he has concrete assurances from Moshiri that he has a safe job here.

I said it weeks ago - he doesn't look a stressed man whatsoever and im convinced Moshiri has told him you have this job for 2-3 years.

No manager should have concrete assurances if they've won 2 games in 15 mate, which would be this hypothetical scenario heading into Xmas.

I hope we don't. If he plays it correctly there's no reason why we shouldn't have enough to beat Palace.

I know that you love talking about me and the like but please stay on topic. ?

what lies?

 

[BlueToff]

OK, I just find it interesting that he would not go for Dumfies as inexperienced and then go for the Scottish lad.

There's no rhyme or reason to the recruitment and Brands does have to take his share of that. It seems his RB targets were all over the shop. Perhaps Dumfries was first choice and then TL, Patterson were the second group? From what I was told, Benitez didn't want to bid any more for Patterson (which is fine) and didn't want AMN on a permanent, only a loan.

Btw, the Athletic article itself details how the main concern was Dumfries' defensive ability for the outlay. However, £12m is a tiny fee comparatively. It's just that £12m for Everton was a big stretch at the time.

It’s because it’s Benitez. This was always going to happen. Any other manager would be backed against these players, but he was never going to be. He’s too easy a target.
