wj818 25 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Alright now that we are done with cursing the board, let's try and change the discussion a bit:Am I the only one who thinks that Pep is a much bigger risk than Rafa?Why??

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 BBC Sport @BBCSport BBC Sport understands Rafa Benitez is flying to London from Abu Dhabi to hold further managerial talks with Chelsea. #CFC #bbcsportsdayFuck it I'm gonna say it, I like Rafa, I like him a lot. Tactically astute, charismatic, a proven, top quality manager. Would I rather Pep? Absolutely, how will this all work out? I haven't a clue but something had to change, Benitez is a step in the right direction in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,909 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 If Benitez is given funds to bring in elite, top class players in January, even if it is just to set the team up for Pep, we WILL be right there challenging for the title.Put your hatred for the man aside for a moment and realize that he is an excellent manager. I'm not nearly as down on him as many here are. I think he can do a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 He changes manager more than the norm yes but as Terminator_X said Arsenal are rich in managerial stability and look where that's got them.Managerial consistency doesn't make you win, it just gets you better results than you can be expected to have. Arsenal are constantly better than they should be. That's where managerial stability gets them. They don't win titles because they don't spend money. In the last 3 seasons, we've spent over 200M pounds more than we've made from buying and selling players. In that same time period, Arsenal have made millions on their transfers. We should be miles better than Arsenal, but we're not. We're pretty much on the same plateau-we'll likely be fighting for third at the end of the season.

meetdoscar 335 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 There are some things I actually like about rafa benitez. His teams play high energy football like madrid and he tends to make them hard workers. However I don't think he is a League material he can't bring us the EPL because he had better players at liverpool than we have now but never delivered the league to them. I really don't know what to expect from him. I just wished RDM did not hit the slump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Gino 377 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 If Rafa gets the job I can only assume RDM was fired over Torres. I'd like to think DiMatteo stood up for himself and sent a message by benching Torres because it was ruining the team's chances overall and he wasn't going to sit there and let the rot continue anymore. I would even go so far as to say when Sturridge played better vs WBA and the media was saying he deserved the start vs Juve, suddenly Daniel comes up with this timely injury. Maybe I'm just a conspiracy nut but something really stunk about that and I think RDM had enough and wanted to rally his troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in danger of getting sacked for every match you lose.But you'll also work with some good players, live in London and have your contract paid in full whatever happens. The job will always be attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edetarod 2,155 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 if the club fired RDM, a club legend to appoint Benitez, a person hated by most of our fans, because of Torres, who never gave a fuck about Chelseathan that's it for me and Chelsea fc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkyflashman 187 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Benitez is a very good manager. Is he a douchebag? Yes. There lies the balancing act. We may not like him but at least he's proven and tactically very capable.I'd rather Pep or Jose but then who in the world wouldn't? If neither are available, benitez is a very good option regardless of the way he is percieved by chelsea fans. I don't like him but I respect him and he'd be a good manager.
