He pretty much had to hedge his bets on getting a 100% success rate on every signing he made which, let's face it, would have been highly unlikely. You're on the fucking windup by saying he could have 'spent money better'. Genuinely, the cheek of saying this, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we got the Premier league Ashley wouldn't part with the money to improve us so we were left with piss poor prem players, yet the man had us comfortable which is a feat in itself. Just remember what he had when we went down under his tenure (not all his fault obviously). Look what he spent to get us out of that championship. Then he spent to stabilise us in the premier league along with the better players he kept. He had enough players at his disposal to do a job of consolidating our position. We didn't have the big bucks to challenge the sugar daddies but Ashley certainly could've offered a few quid more, yet Benitez could've got more out of some of those players he had, I think.

It was a decent amount and he could've done much better if he used players better and bought better. Let's look at his final season with us and see what players he had at his disposal. We had some decent players at the time which weren't properly used in my opinion. Bravo Can you do the moon landings next? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Even the Jacob Murphy signing was made on the basis of sell on profit by Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafa had been planning months ahead for our return to the Premier League and had lined up and agreed loan deals for Tammy Abraham and Loftus-Cheek to come in from Chelsea, using his contacts from when he worked at Chelsea. Guess who vetoed the deals ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Even if you want to ignore what he's done elsewhere (presumably because it doesn't help your point, Kenedy's peak was with us under Rafa.
