To be honest, at the start of the summer things looked better than they do now.
I'd be surprised if Benitez is still our manager at Christmas. Certainly don't expect him to last the season. The board seem to be intent on doing it a different way to the manager, as usual, and I don't think it'll last.
The ones who were happy to work under this administration are the chancers like Pardew, McClaren, Carver and Kinnear. Expect some other useless appointment following the departure of Benitez. Pardew and McClaren have both spoken about the difficult conditions to work under once they've left. Benitez is trying to use the media to turn it to his advantage but the egos of Ashley and Charnley don't take kindly to that, so before long something will give, and Benitez is likely to leave.

McLaren got a nerve considering he was given a blank cheque book :lol:

of course, if you read some of my posts i'm not his biggest fan , i for one think he's a step up on who we have had but he's not like a Shaun Dyche or a similar type manager who can build a team from nothing.That can be levelled at many "world class" managers, give them a Burnley( no disrespect) and see what they are made of.

Benitez has a system that isn't great to watch at times, often makes weird subs, keeps giving workhorses like Gouffran a place in the team when clearly he is crap.

The jury is out for me but undoubtedly he is a likeable football man who has cheered us up, if he get's us to mid table on the "Burnley type" budget this pre season then i think he deserves respect and credit for that but the absolute minimum is to stay in the league, maybe he should be given the chance to build it at his pace.

who knows, he's a great presence for us when at the time we had some rubbish options, our stock is tainted and we aren't the draw we were a few years ago so Benitez is here and we turn another page with or without him.

So a slow waddle, then?

If he did go, who would you like to see come in?
 
as much as it is funny, no mags I know twisted and moaned when Ashley announced the Fsw would be given the promotion money and all money from player sales.

He hasn't been snidey, it's not his fault the Spanish one signed a load of unmovable players to get them promoted.
