Seems to me he’s just happy to be involved 

Mark my words this squad needs a leader in it. Someone who’s not scared to say it how it is right there on the pitch. Someone who commands respect. 
 
We haven’t one player in that dressing tool who commands the best. 

Hope yesterday shows everyone how important a player he is to us. 
without him Doucoure is 70% and Gomes 50%
Priority is to make sure he stays this window.

Just hope the new manager has a bit of the window left and a few quid to spend. 
Id rather he still had a left back that went a few days ago though.

I’ll be honest ….. Ferguson has been amongst the players when they have played like absolute jokes.   
 
because he’s a number 2 does he just keep his mouth shut?  Or does he lose his shit cos I’ve not seen evidence of that. 

Like I said in the quoted post, we find ourselves in an awful situation. There aren't any options that particularly jump out or if they do then they're not realistic.
I just do not see it going well if we go down the Ferguson route.
If we weren't such a fucked up club I'd like to think that while the writing has been on the wall for the manager for at least a few weeks that the decision-makers have been thinking about who is next, but the reality is that they were probably planning on offering him a new contract at the end of the season up until last night .

I’d like to see Duncan leave and go and be a manager somewhere else, learn his trade and grow into a good manager then come back. 

Sorry for calling people Kopites. “Sympathiser” suits better 👍🏻 Night Dunc 

Kopite, his records worse than Walkers Goodnight.

Redknapp nailed it. Everything he said is spot on. Benitez is an arrogant arrogant man. He could cause murder in an empty building.

Read Jamie Redknapps words - exactly why we should have swerved this guy. Forget his Liverpool connection, he's not a good bloke to have at a club.
If you can't be arsed to read it, he says he has a habit of causing chaos at clubs, is a politician, always blames everyone else, puts this person against that person, creates an atmosphere of the crowd vs the board.
Tell me Redknapp is wrong? 
Even tonight, when questioned, what was Rafas response? Not 'yep, we need to do better'. Not 'I'm responsible for these results and I must do better' but to say he's trying to fix problems of the last 5 years, it needs time, the top scorer has been missing.
Now, to be fair, he's not too wrong HOWEVER take some accountability. It's the medical department. It's the DoF department. It's past decisions. Everything is about reflecting elsewhere. He has too many ready made excuses here and it shows. It suits him to have so many ready made deflections.
Let's be honest, these same defenders didn't do too bad last year. Now they're a shambles. That's coaching. That's the Manager.
A lot of people at this club are taking the piss. The decisions are woeful. Fancy getting us into a position where we have the worst run of results in the past 5/6 years but we can't sack the bloke because we've either fucked it up before or we've given him to much say and power within the corridors. Who's managing the manager these days? Fuck me.
And I'm sorry guys, but we as fans have to hold our hands up too. We've wanted every manager sacked as soon as they hit a poor run. We've booed them out and forced the decision. We've not allowed any potential project to properly find its feet before We've got restless. A whole generation has been born, grown up, had kids, who have also grown up since we've had a run of success. We can't be classed as a big club, rather a club in a big city. I know that won't land well but it's reality.
I just hope we find a way that makes sense and allows everything to settle. From the boardroom to the players to the fans. At the moment, every part of this club is ripping it apart. It fuckin sad mate.

Anybody and I mean anybody who still backs this man is a 100% Kopite. 

Sacking this manger is 💯 correct and I hope the rumours are correct that he’s gone. Everton will go down this season under this man.

I've been for giving him a chance, but there has been absolutely no improvement in performances. Yes, players are making mistakes, but so often we shoot ourselves in the foot by starting so badly - the manager at least has to take responsibility for getting the players fired up and ready for the game - but it seems that we consistently start so badly, that we have to wait untl the 2nd half to actually get going. 
The question is though - what do we do now. We've got rid of the DoF, given Rafa free reign and laid out the money to bring in who he wants, and now we bring someone else in who is gonna have a completely different idea of who he wants. On top of that, there is apparently a full review in progress, so it seems that the only option would be to bring someone in till the end of the season (a Sam Allardyce type figure to save us from relegation). 
The shit we are in is too mindblowing to even contemplate.
The results and (even more so the performances) are not up to par - by a long shot.  In any other situation, he'd have been gone before Xmas. 
I believe there are only two choices:
1 - give him till the end of the month/mid february, to bring in another 1-2 players (as it seems that is what he wants), and see if results start to turn around. (The risk being, it may well be too late by then to salvage relegation)
2 - get rid, and bring in/put someone in charge someone till the end of the season.
At this moment in time, I actually think option 2 is the only option left.
The sad thing is, it's more new players in (and good players moved out) all for nothing.
What a shambles!

Don’t be a tit just because I have a different opinion to you
I go home and away and have done for years so I think I am entitled to an opinion and I can sleep well at night safe in the knowledge that I am most definitely not a Kopite
it was woeful today , especially in the first half , but I still don’t think giving Benitez one game with a full squad constitutes a fair crack of the whip  especially since half of them are just coming back from prolonged periods out with injury so are not match fit
Questions are rightly being asked but I’m still of the same opinion I was this morning in that he needs to be given the next few weeks with a fully fit squad before he can be judged fairly 
Thats my opinion and I may well be wrong but that doesn’t mean I want Rafas autograph and it definitely doesn’t make me a Kopite
