2021/22 Rafael Benitez

[allen]

I vote we close all threads with RB's name in the title and ask the mods to block those words ever being used again on this forum.

I'd quite like a legally-binding document for us all to sign where we promise to collectively forget about this ever happening.

Put the memories in the same bin as Allardyce.

Could we have a DOF with Moshiri in charge?

That is the issue.

DoF doesn’t work if the owner just does what he wants.

How many changes in style and approach have we made?

 

[Lobster Johnson]

That would be a good call in my opinion. He had Arsenal in the Top 4 operating on a shoestring compared to the other clubs when their stadium was been financed. He would make a great DOF and ambassador for the club

No way he's giving up FIFA money, however.

Now that RB has left the club they may be looking for a new DOF.

Would you have Brands back in that role ?

Asking because I would like to know if people think Benitez was wrong or right to get rid of him

Any Director of Football will struggle to do a proper job here until the owner keeps his nose out of football decisions and stops buying/loaning players off his agent mates who clearly see him as a soft touch!

I am happy to count the last 6 months as a fever dream if that is the type of thing you had in mind mate.

Perfect. Let's roll this out.

Punditry awaits.

I pity the poor bugger who has to type the subtitles for carragher and paella chins on MNF. Can barely understand a world either of them say.

Wenger as DoF..

Never in a million years for me. Perhaps 5-10 years ago before he went fully senile and started suggesting world cups every 15 minutes and corners that go out but swing back in be allowed to count. The man's completely lost his marbles. We'd have Aaron Ramsay, Wilshere and The Ox on 5 years deals, and he'd still be scouting Draxler until he was 35.

Is this right he has said he did not realise the size of the job at Everton?

All he had to do was look at his pay packet. Does he think he was being paid a multi-million pound contract to put a yellow jacket on and do a bit of stewarding?

He has taken us for an absolute ride and I am glad to see the back of him.

More lies, like the ones where he said that he had a dossier on every player and had an in depth knowledge of every players weakness and strengths.

Yet, his favoured team formation, was one that had a midfield that got over ran every week, right backs playing left back and a lump of wood up front.

It`s all about damage limitation with him now.

Oh that must be it then, Crouch has crouched down to inform us it has nothing to do with the relegation form and dull as dishwater tactics

It's mad how that narrative just keeps getting repeated.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I think it might be that we got 6 points from the last 13 games, a record of less than half a point per game.

There don`t seem to be many ex players who have anything good to say about him, are there ?

Funny that.

 

[Toffeepot]

It's mad how that narrative just keeps getting repeated.

And it will continue to be until everybody is under no illusions that poor ol' Benitez was too good for Everton, lucky to have him and they were just too hung up on their rival's success to accept him though if he had been given time he would've 'insert major success here'... absolute joke at this stage!
