Kojo 4,676 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Rafa Benitez is a joke of a manager in my honest opinion, i don't care about his acomplishments at Liverpool with the Champions League and he did make some good buys, but he fucked up, and i hate his attitude also, i loved it when Drogba made him eat his words in the champions league leg, Rafa bullshitting about him before the match.

Chelsea? 892 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 avb 100% at this point, certainly wouldn't fire him for any COACH in the world at this point. But if Roman wants someone else, Pep and maybe Jose are my only candidates. Even then I'd still be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 "Our squad was made for us to try and win four trophies," he said. "At the moment, it's a two-horse race for the league, but one of those two teams is going to be extremely unsuccessful this season. One of them will be out of the Champions League, the FA Cup and the Carling Cup, and is going to miss out on their objectives. Of the two [Manchester teams], one has a margin of doubt because it is an extremely successful team. The other invested a lot of money and has access to the best players."Asked if Chelsea did not also have access to world's best players, Villas-Boas said: "Not to the extent City have, with their financial power. Maybe in the past we had it. We like to promote talent, but I don't think you can compare the two squads, to be fair. I think theirs is a lot better. When the top team has access to buy from their title rivals, you can build something extraordinary." City acquired Samir Nasri and Gaël Clichy from Arsenal and bought Carlos Tevez after a loan spell at Manchester United.He added: "We had it in the past and did build something extraordinary. But I don't think you can expect Chelsea to buy from City and United now. When we bought Luiz and Torres, one came from a team in title contention in Portugal, the other from a team competing for the top four in the Premier League."I don't know if economic power has a direct influence on [a player's] choice-making. People could have gone to City because of the project that was being built, the super-team being put together. Perhaps that's what drove them. But the numbers being paid are top, are extreme. With financial fair play, maybe everyone will have better chance of access to those players. I don't think it's unfair. We had [that purchasing power] in the past. But City have a better squad, with more depth and with good players now. We have a very competent squad that was put together to go for four trophies. We haven't had the results we should have and, in normal circumstances, we would be ahead of [united and Spurs]. We have been under-performing.""If you look at 2004-11, this club won three Premier League titles, three FA Cups, and were in three Champions League semi-finals and a final," said Villas-Boas. "If, in the next seven years, we have that may trophies again, we can reflect on these two years of change (more positively). They would have been two years where we rebuilt for a better future. I'm concentrating on building something extreme for next year, when there will be a higher expectancy of Chelsea because of what might have been a two-year gap being trophy-less."All that's true of course, but not sure if now is the time or place to confess publicly. Have a nagging feeling he's getting things off his chest and get his say in because the sack might be looming. I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
