I'm sorry but if it's Benitez, I will cry and will not be behind him 100%.

Are you crazy? No way. The club should buy players according to their vision not the manager's. Ferguson = Man Utd so him having that kind of power is fine, the same goes for Arsene. But I can't imagine giving the likes of Benitez, who is clueless when it comes to buying players, that kind of power. Van Basten got that power too at Ajax and spent 35 mil +/- (which is a huge amount of money for a Dutch club). And every single player he bought failed (well Sulejmani is playing well now but it took him 3 years to do so..). And managers come and go.. Some managers should have 100% input but definitely not all.

A Premier League team of the decade not including Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp.. Cech/VDS/Given ? - Campbell - Carvalho - Cole Scholes/Viera- Maka/Lamps Pires - Bergkamp - Giggs Henry

You don't have to play like Barcelona, sides like Milan, Udinese, Napoli, Valencia etc. play good football but their style doesn't resemble Barcelona's. The likes of Blackpool, Bolton and West Brom played good football as well this season and if they can do it, everybody can. And I'm glad Roman wants attacking/attractive football too. But like MM said, to each his own.

It kills my love for the game so a big no for me.

Not to forget that you don't buy a 18-year old to be a impact player..

Yup, joke of a coach .

I don't think the succes of those tactics, not saying we played long ball football during '05-'10, is his issue but the fact that's it horrible to watch. You don't spend huge amounts of money and play that kind of football.

You do you know I was kidding this whole time right ? :unsure:

Hiddink was brought in to safe the season from becoming a complete disaster. You can't play youth/young players when you're on that kind of mission. He did give young players the chance to play at PSV (he's Dutch, everybody believes in playing youth here).

Don't see him joining Real, he has red and white blood and promised to never join Real. And I don't think he's the type to not keep his word.

Too bad he'll never join us, he's so ridiculously good. Those who didn't see his hattrick on the final matchday should watch it (his second goal was ).

I think you're obsessed with CA BL .

That's a creepy collage BL..

Mata has been playing as a second/supporting striker this season. But when he plays the winger role, he definitely prefers the left. He can probably play on the right but he hardly plays on that side.

Not suprised if it's true. Come on, you already know the people in charge of this club are cold and ruthless.

:tophat: to JT. And Steve, happy for you man.

Marco lacks experience and any succes. Only Chelsea-men should get the chance to manage Chelsea without those things.

You're forgetting about one thing that will attract every manager and that's the MONEY.

I want to know why was fired. If it's because we didn't win anything this season, it's a stupid decision. This squad isn't good enough to win things. He should've been allowed to stay for one more season with a number 2 and new players (players who fit the club's philosofy not his). If it's because Roman doesn't think he fits the club's future plans, fair enough. But he better stick with the new manager then.

We're shit .

You know you're not playing well when JT thinks he should be the one putting the ball in the net..

Minus the diving, asking for a players to receive cards and Hollywood-acting .

He was up and running as soon as Coleman was sent off. No need to justify this (people here go crazy when a Barca player does it).
