They’ve been pretty awful, but they don’t have an amazing squad. Benitez probably got the job off the back of keeping Newcastle up with little resources. Fans however seem to still think they’re a top 6 side.
Appreciate that Benitez has a strong Liverpool connection and he’s said one or two things about Everton fifteen years ago, so it was gonna be somewhat controversial, but it seems Everton all over that they were more bothered about hating Liverpool than succeeding themselves.
For what it’s worth I don’t think Benitez is too bad a manager, and I’m not sure who they’d get that’s a definite improvement. Surely they won’t go down and they’ve just sacked a director of football for him, but they need to stop the rot somehow and I think it precedes Benitez.
