The Benitez Thread

[Tomo 21,751]

Didn't Mourinho say he would prefer to manage Liverpool instead of Chelsea back in 2004 for a similar reason?

If Rafa delivers the good's, that quote will be forgotten.

Roman, I lost big respect towards you, from 'cool' owner, you showed this spoiled face and looking on our club as a toy (or just very impatient).

Rafa should not come here, but I will still support him now, as he is part of this team. He could strenghten our lineup, but he loves that all actions go through one player (Alonso) and we dont have such player now. I hope we get good results, cuz this days are realy depressing.

Other fans are extremely optimistic about Chelsea now, and also afraid...same as was with Rdm when he replaced Avb.

But seriously, this is JOKE. We play bad, we sack manager every year, we are on way not to pass group stage; first CL winners to play in europa leage, our fans are pissing on OUR own players, other fans are laughing at us, team has no cause and will to do sth, Chelsea is loosing respect every day. Our owner is spoiled and dont give shi* bout fans and club reputation. Board is leaded by bunch of no-brainers. So dissapointed with all situation. I guess we will never learn.

All because of coulple of bad games. Because there is no end product. Because there is no striker. No striker, no goals. No goals, no wins. No wins, manager sacked. Circle repeats...

No offence but that's the 100th identical post!

It was years ago when he managed the Scum, what do you expect him to say?

Seeing as he's our new manager it's not exactly endearing, nonetheless he's the Chelsea manger now and i will support him, but i'm going to find it interesting to see what he has to say about that comment.

I was just about to post a similar quote from Telly Tubby:

"Chelsea fans lack passion." - Rafa Benitez (2008)

That was 4 years ago and you can't blame him for saying that, Anfield nights are always so passionate and memorable.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

I guess I'm one of the few who are not too phased with this whole thing. I don't care what other people think of our club. RDM wasn't the man for us. He was clearly going to be sacked anyways and yes while it was too soon, its perhaps better to just accelerate the process before it dragged on (ala AVB) and destroyed our season again.

Well from the Immortal Words of Terrel Owens, "if it looks like a rat, then it must be a Rat!!!" In my mind, Benitez looks like a rat!!

A board that showed the fiscal acumen to post a profit last month?

A board that has invested hundreds of millions into players?

Who gives a fuck what other teams think?

REPEAT and fucking sick of repeating this now

RDM was ALWAYS going to be SACKED!

If you couldn't see that, then you need to wise up!

Why you think they took so long to appoint him in the first place!

Also RDM was a good, not GREAT manager, he basically repeated what happened at WBA - couldn't defend for shit!

The board don't want to miss out on 4th place so have taken aggressive actin to rectify - only time will tell if this was the right decision.

In order to be profitable, CFC needs CL money, missing out will be bad!!!

Benitez is actually a decent manager (emotions aside), he got a shit Liverpool team always playing well against us!

NO, IT FEELS SO WEIRD.

Exactly. Perhaps Roman has thought "we are playing poor and aren't getting better but infact are getting worse, this could get bad" and removed Robbie for the clubs best interests this season. Every time Roman's done this, we've done better. Harsh as it is on Robbie it might work.

Finally some sense... Emotions aside that's exactly what's happened...

I guess you are right, but we have changed from a manager everyone felt connected with to a hated cunt. That is where the rage comes from...

More against the replacement then against the replaced.

I hope to see a positive reaction on Sunday, especially from our supporters at SB. Lets give Rafa a chance, do it for the players at the very least.
