'We don't demand a team that wins, we demand one that tries'
They either thought Bruce didn't try or their statement about that is just utter bullshit.
Basically they want a team that costs lots of money and they want to win.
If this doesn't happen they want to sack the board and the managers head
Its all about attention and how they look to the outside world. Joelinton cost a lot of money, but he's a laughing stock.
They so badly want to be seen as a big club. They can't claim that by showing off a trophy cabinet, so they want big names on the team sheet and a big name in the dugout. The stats for Bruce/Benitez prove that. Benitez won something at a different club. That's why he is a hero. They justify it as being "because he had a project", but the truth is, having him in the dugout (in their eyes) gives them prestige that Bruce doesn't.
