  1. 1. Rafa Out?



Recommended Posts

Are you supposed to be happy because of a cell phone?

If you knew the shit storm of a day I have been through to get that phone then you would understand how fucking happy that little ray of light has made me. ESPECIALLY after the bullshit that has gone on at Chels. So YES.

‎"It was an honour for me to be appointed manager of a club that I loved playing for and one that is so close to my heart. I am extremely proud of the successes and trophies that we were able to bring to the club in recent months.

Lifting Chelsea's first Champions League trophy, in Munich, was the best achievement in club history and without doubt the highlight of my career to date, both as a player and manager. It is a memory I will treasure for the rest of my life.

I have a deep and unreserved passion for Chelsea Football Club and I would like to sincerely thank all of the staff, my players and of course the Chelsea fans, for their tremendous and unconditioned support in the intense time I have been the manager at the Bridge. I wish all of them every success for the rest of the season and beyond."

So you're telling me Valencia winning La Liga twice in front of Barca and Real is not an accomplishment? That's 2 seasons of consistently outperforming everybody else.

And RDM only has a small number of games and you are not comparing RDMs WBA record with Benitez!

See how stats can lie.

Benitez isn't the best but he did well for Liverpool and they are shit - so could do well for us...

It wasn't all Rafa. He took over a team that went to the CL final twice in a row - regardless, that was nearly 10 years ago.

My main gripe with this appointment is that Rafa isn't even a top manager anymore. He's been on the decline since his last Liverpool days and managed to turn a treble winning Inter into a mediocre side, even though they had some top top players.

What I don't like is how people are selectively bringing up his past and then try to filter out his bad moments (which have come more recently ironically) to justify his appointment's okay. It is not. Like I've said before, this sacking was more undeserved than Jose's sacking. I can see the likes of JT, Ash & Frank rebelling about this. Imagine if he brings back Malouda as well?!

Dark, dark times ahead.

a mate(liverpool fan) told me that rafa wanted to sign falcao way before he went to porto, but liverpool owners then wanted somebody else.. is this true?

Yep for 3.5m Euros.

We also pretty much had David Silva signed as well but the owners pulled out last minute.

Also something about Torres..

45]

Rafa also told me Torres is nursing a knee injury and, although still playing, it is affecting his form/confidence

45]

Finally, Benitez is looking forward to linking up with Fernando Torres again, but revealed he has a knee injury which is affecting his form

Another tweet on this "knee injury"

Did this knee injury occur three years ago?

As long as we are winning and playing good football I don't care even if Tony Adams is our manager.I want the best for this club and if appointing Rafa is the right thing he has my full backing.Robbie was not only sacked due to bad recent results but also because he failed to make our club play as Abramovic wants !He was massively out of his depth for this goal and was deservedly sacked.

Yeah they had top old players who had given all they could in the previous year. Did firing Rafa solve the problem? nope they hired some other guy, then Leonardo then Ranieri all in the space of 2 years. Not to mention they have a new manager now lol.

Go Home. You are fucking drunk man. And I dont think Tony Adams ever acted like a cunt towards our club.

It is disappointing that the only ambitious chelsea fan is Roman abramovic. Wake up guys under RDM we are on the brink of Ucl group stage elimination since over a decade and top 4 is no guarantee. It was the right decision to sack RDM emotions apart. We all wished it worked well for him this season but loosing 3-0 to juve and 4-1 to athletico is unlike chelsea and we've not even met barca yet. BEST WISHES TO RAFA
