The Benitez Thread

[Superblue 6,372]

admire your staunch defence of Benitez BUT you are so out of touch with what most of our fans feel.

Agreed but nothing we can do about it.

For me I want the club to be as successful as possible - if Benitez provides the spark that will win us the league this season then it will be proven the right decision. We have to get behind the players on Sunday.

I'm not trying to defend Benitez. I feel absolutely disgusted by the sacking of RDM, I personally didn't think he'd survive beyond the season..but to sack him like that was just wrong. For all we know, RDM might have been able to turn around this rough patch of form and results, those pundits on SkySports summed it up perfectly..'after the City match, Chelsea have a number of fixtures that can easily be won..'

I'll never understand Roman or the Chelsea board's way of thinking...why sack a young manager at the top level in November, just to go and hire a free agent interim manager. Keeping Robbie till the end of the season would have made more sense.

But at the end of the day, RDM is gone, just like Mourinho, Ancelotti (both of whom are world-class managers)...and once again, we're left with instability at the club.

What was the first thing Benitez did as Chelsea caretaker?

Signed a liverpool kit.

And yet you still want to support this cunt?

What's wrong with that? Not only is that trivial, but also, just because he's our manager now doesn't mean he should start hating Liverpool. He spent a good deal of time there, and if he still feels attached to the club, how can you blame him?

I bet if Guardiola ever became Chelsea manager...and he was given a Barcelona kit, he'd sign it.

In the same way, Rafa signed the Liverpool kit.

Well but Guardiola never said a single bad word about Chelsea or did he?

And do not forget, that Barcelona is not Liverpool.

I'm losing a lot of affection for our club. Benitez is the LAST manager I would ever want near our club. He is a nasty, vindictive tosser who has tried to hurt our club and has mocked our supporters. I dislike him a lot and am very pissed off that he is now the face of our club.

Rafa out. I'm counting down the days until he and Torres both fuck off out of the club.

Fuck you Roman for doing this.

The guy said that we - fans of Chelsea Football Club - can't support the club properly when he was in charge of Liverpool and this is the first thing he does as a Chelsea manager?

I am quite sure that this is behavior of proper cunt.

There should be some interview already. I'm really keen on hearing his thoughts. Hurry up!

He isn't the face of our club. He's a manager bought in on a short-term contract with everyone in football aware that the chairman and the fans want someone different.

Sure Sky TV might stick him in a few packages to hype up a game but he is not the face of this club. If you ever forget who the faces of this club are, watch the Champions League Final....glance to the Shed End on a Match Day and look at the King.....look at the young talent playing for OUR club.

He is not the face of the club, he will never be the face of the club and in 7 months time he won't even be at the club.

I still can't believe it, I don't want him in Chelsea... This is just crazy what happened in one day... Everything goes wrong...

No chance. The manager, especially in England, represents more than just a coach. Watching the City game yesterday Martin Tyler said "Rafa Benitez's Chelsea" and it made my skin crawl.

I will not support him and hope he is sacked before the summer.

“We don’t need to give away stupid plastic flags to our fans to wave, our supporters are always there with their hearts and that is all we need. It’s the passion of the fans that helps us to win matches, not flags. Chelsea fans lack passion.”

You want me to support the wanker who said that? You are having a laugh.

Fuck off Benitez.

Accusations of failure at Liverpool are a falsehood worth dispelling with alacrity. Without the Reds ever matching the financial power of Europe’s biggest clubs during his five-year spell on Merseyside, Benitez led them to two Champions League finals - winning one - and mounted Liverpool’s closest challenge for the Premier League title in history.

I still cant belive that fat former liverpoo gaffer will be our new manager . Get ready for more 90 min of torres on field and maybe some useless shit benitez signings in Jan...

Why the hell would Roman want the fat fuck benitez here in Chelsea Jesus fuckin wept........... :rant:

[Milan 17,859]

[Liquidator 5,176]

Only 178 days until our last game of the season against Everton

4,272 hours

256,320 minutes

15,379,200 seconds

I'm counting down already...

Rafael Benitez and Boudewijn Zenden.. This is really happening, still can't believe it.

If he's sacked before Summer, that means something drastically wrong has happened. I don't want that to happen to Chelsea because I quite like the club.

Right now, he is Chelsea manager and I want the Chelsea manager to do a good job. I'm not going to sing his name and I've got a bottle of bubbly on ice for the moment his contract expires. Then I will thank him for the job he has done and bid him farewell.

But what I don't want is the next decade of Chelsea's existence to be ****** up (don't know if I can swear on here or not) because that is what will happen if we fail to qualify for next year's Champions League.

I want Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Josh, De Bruyne and Chalobah to come back after summer, one year older to work under a new manager who can take this club to the next stage. If I have to put up with Martin Tyler calling us 'Rafa Benitez's Chelsea' then I will do.

Disappointed to say the least.

I wish I could be as diplomatic as you but I can't. Usually I try to make sense of everything but this has just pissed me off too much. I don't want this man as our manager. The sooner he is out the better. If we have to take a hit for Roman to see some sense I am all for it. You don't treat a legend like Di Matteo like this and expect the fans to be happy. And then to rub salt into an open wound by appointing this prick just smacks of Roman and the board not giving a shit about what the fans think.

I dislike this man and want him to fail badly.
