So what? It's not about being a big or a small club. We are Chelsea FC, and thats all we ever need to be. Fuck prestige and fuck money. All I want out there is 11 players who give 100% for the club, and money won't do that for you.
The only time he's ever proved his tactical nous was parking 10 men behind the ball any time Jose hoved into view and bringing on Dietmar Hammann at half time in Istanbul. Neither of which scream genius to me.
Benitez is rubbish and anyone denying that is either a scouser or has been brainwashed by scousers. Moyes would be the sane choice but I'm concerned that the players will get back to their tricks and get him fired if he tries to break them up. Even if you have empirical evidence that Benitez is a quality manager, he's a bumbling fool. We'll go back the Liverpool way splashing cash on the Ryan Babel's and David N'Gog's and Nabil El Zhar's of the world.
