TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Rumours going around that Jurgen Klopp is on Abramovich's shortlist too, Dortmund manager for those who don't know. He's got such a secure job, doubt he'd even consider us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmpr 8,977 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Doesn't matter how much money you get, it's what you buy and all RDM bought where NO.10's, when we've got the worst DM in the league and players like David Luiz at the back.I know we lack players in the positions you mentioned. To be honest though, you would just say we bought ST and DM without buying n10s. We had too much of a shop list to complete it in one season.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Rafa is the best person available, would be stupid to pass on him and hire Grant for example. People only hate him so much because of his ties with Liverpool and how he kept getting the better of us under Jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 you watch, Grant will be brought in temporarily as he is Roman's mate....totally agree with this article http://www.telegraph...bafflement.htmlI'd actually prefer Grant to Benitez for a short-term manager. Benitez would have designs on trying to make the job his own. I don't see that with Grant. If it's a temporary manager, I don't see why they didn't just give RDM more time though.

Strike 7,490 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 FUCK, Mourinho wasnt even the manager and we hadnt even bought anyone. Dont judge what you dont know.regardless of who the manager was. focus on the bigger issue here. ranieri/mourinho signed the players using roman's MONEY and built the club. no point defending roman now of all times. we all know he is passionate and all that but reminding that now is just plain useless. why even bother giving the job to di matteo if he's going to press the trigger at the slightest twitch? can't argue with that. daft nonsense from roman and the board.

DYC. 7,542 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 As much as i don't like Benitez, there is no one better available and ready for work right now.I'd rather have man manager Redknapp till the end of the season. Very weak tactically but there's not much need for that till the end of the season. I'd rather have soneone who motivate players and enjoy playing. And I'm sure he could secure a top 4 spot, which is all we need to focus on right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont denny you are right pointing those 2 gaps on our squad. I just feel it was more important to secure Hazard and Oscar this season and then buy ST and DM next season, since they are still available.With our budget, it was either ST+DM or Hazard+Oscar.

Jype 6,398 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 As much as i don't like Benitez, there is no one better available and ready for work right now.He hasn't managed any team in nearly two years now and we all remember how horrible he was at Inter and during his last season at Liverpool. I honestly don't understand how he could do any better than Di Matteo for the rest of the season because the players will have to get used to his complicated training methods and tactics and that could take a while, so we shouldn't expect anything from him anytime soon. While I understand the reasoning of Di Matteo's sacking and believe it might have been the right call long term wise, I don't get why he had to go now when there really are no better alternatives available. Why sack managers just for the sake of sacking them?If there's someone I would be happy to take in this situation it would be Redknapp. Tactically that guy is clueless but he's a decent man manager and that's what we need right now to sort this mess out. Offer him a short term contract and we're set to go till next summer when we can make a more permanent appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Rafa isn't a defensive manager.Inter had defensive players. So he used defensive tactics there.Liverpool had Torres. He knew how to get the best out of him. So he deployed counter-attacking tactics. At Valencia, he had possession-based attacking tactics, while deploying counter-attacking tactics when needed. I could compare what he had them doing on the pitch to what Real Madrid do now.He's been different at all the clubs he's managed.He did the "Spanish Job" with Valencia. Does anyone remember the player Aimar was under Rafa at Valencia? Imagine what he could potentially do with any 3 of our maestros. With the striker he made 'one of the best' at one point. (Well, in some people's eyes anyway.)With the financial power no other club he's been at could offer.There COULD be allot of positives to appointing Rafa. No need for all the pessimism.

Jase 43,479 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Really? like playing 2 defensive wingers?No but he often deploys reactive tactics and more often than not, do not take the game to the opposition especially against the lesser sides at home! His only one great season was when Liverpool finished 2nd in the 08/09 season. The rest has pretty much muddled with inconsistency. Additionally, let's not forget his dreadful transfers at Liverpool, turned Inter into mediocre club in the space of 4-5 months after winning the Champions League and has a poor man management skills!

We are heading out of the Champions League, i can only see us being 4th by a few weeks with the games we have to play.You can't survive with mediocre players like we have, but people hide it on this forum and deny it.
