The Benitez Thread

[The only place to be 11,313]

first things first torres is not an asset. he is a fucking LIABILITY.

now to the discussion. when did i or any1 say that roman dint do anythin for the club? u need to go to the original statement instead of writing things in bold and capital.

I agree that Torres is a liability as a player, but in business terms he's an asset.

As for Roman, this whole discussion came from the idea that he didn't care about what a person meant to Chelsea Football Club. It's untrue and I pointed it out.

My last response came from your absurd statement that he puts money before the club. It's one of the stupidest things I've heard in a while.

Actually, having read a fair few things on here today I take that back.

So after the millions paying RDM off, the millions to pay this fat cunt to waddle round the technical area and all the grief, nothing's changed.

Brilliant -If this board, Buck , Gourlay and all the other shysters worked for any corporation or multinational with the same manager turnover and multimillion pound pay offs, theyd have been shown the door years ago.

The obvious way to keep your job is to lick Abramovichs arse...yes roman no roman, can I suck your balls now please ?

Actually Buck and Gourlay's performance has been pretty good in financial terms as well as the Champions League win (remember they sacked AVB and turned around our season - does that not earn them any credit)?

Yes it does. It's one of the reasons I asked the question ' who would replace him' and 'how would that affect our long-term hiring strategy'.

I actually think Benitez can get us a top-four position and then I'll wish him farewell.

But in all that somewhat confusing/confused diatribe against me, you didn't actually mention a single name who would replace him.

Once again, you have managed to diligently epitomise the definition of 'ignorant douche'. You so conveniently left out the rest of that line you quoted which happens to hold the answer to your ponderings - 'As long as it's not Rafa, who the fuck cares?'

So assuming that you didn't really bother to actually read, let alone comprehend, what I was coneveying in my previous post - ANYONE. Literally, ANYONE will do. As long as it's not Rafa.

& if you somehow still maintain this bemusing belief that there aren't any other managers who would take the job at this current moment - well then no one works just as well in that case. I would rather have no manager & let JT take the reigns as so many have said in tentative jest (regardless if it is an official position requiring qualifications or not) than have this fat fuck calling the shots for the rest of the season. But assuming that's not within Roman's inclinations, well I'm not going to bother giving you pointless names when the list is quite literally endless. It could be anyone from Gus Poyet to Mark Hughes, or any other manager who wants to make the step up or is currently out of a job or will likely be by January. It really doesn't matter - as long as it's not fucking Rafa Benitez.

'I actually think Benitez can get us a top-four position and then I'll wish him farewell.' - & you see, much in a similar manner to what I recall from a response of yours a couple of weeks back, this is where I pretty much disregard any form of credibility you may have once had - simply because it would take either an extraordinarily brave man or an irrevocably ignorant fool to make such an audacious statement.

I'm sure you can figure out which of those you are...

This place is literally going to explode if we lose on Wednesday night to that lot.

Rafa, you HAVE to get this one right. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. We HAVE to still be in the cup on Thursday morning.

Thank fuck I'll be at the game.

Having seen some of the hysterical responses on here from some 'fans' I think I'll take my chances getting a kicking from some Leeds scum.

I know it is a horrifying feeling, but if losing on Wednesday means Rafa out, I am all for it.

P.S: No need to quote saying I am mad and/or plastic, I know this is wrong. Cant help though, it is what I am feeling.

i dont know if i should reply to this and take the argument on again but it would be better not to.

just what we needed from our only striker in the squad... y play football when u can sell stuff... awesome.

[Liquidator 5,176]

Sack RDM they said, he is a tactically inept idiot they said, we will win fuck all with this clown in charge they said.

Benitez so far:

0-0 vs Man City- decent result, first game against the Champions, not expecting too much

0-0 vs Fulham- the sort of game you really need to be winning or at the very least look like we are going to win. Dire and uninspiring, Fulham could have beaten us

1-3 vs West Ham- never nice to lose to the pikey boys, especially when we played so well in the first half. Diabolical second half

6-1 vs Nordsjaelland- pub team, shouldn't class it as a win really because we have such a better squad than them

3-1 vs Sunderland- have been awful all season but it was quite a good win

3-1 vs Monterrey- again, a pub team, Championship standard at best. They were so bad that they made Torres look like Messi

0-1 vs Corinthians- awful performance

Fine. I'll be brave and offer you a bet.

Rafa Benitez will lead us to fourth spot. If he doesn't, I'll leave this forum. If he does, you leave this forum.

As for the rest of your ignorant drivel, is it as painful to write as it is to read?

I think you have been put on this site to defend Rafa and the board. You seriously sit in the MHL ?

YEAH PEOPLE, WE LOST THE GAME BUT WE WON OURSELVES ONE MORE INTERNET WARRIOR!

Because I've asked questions like who would do better? Fucking hell. Like I've said in another post, coming on this site has introduced me to a type of supporter I really haven't seen in over 20 years of going to the Bridge.

I seriously sit there. I started in the West Stand when it had Wooden seats (with the occassional game in the Shed STANDING), then moved to the East stand, then to the new Family Enclosure in the Shed and now I tend to stick to the MHL.

If you think I'm a plant to defend Rafa then you're pretty delusional considering the amount I go on about hiring a certain Catalonian bloke, and probably duty bound to ban me from this site.

He'll be gone at the end of the season. Not before, not after. Theres no point in hoping for better.

The board want Guardiola or Mourinho, and they 'ent coming any earlier.

Are you a plant sent by Eugene and Michael to defend Rafa and the board?

Pretty old post , but when people say he's a liablity or waste of money , He's pretty much paying himself

No, I was just born with some common sense.

first of all 50m was just the transfer and over it is his salary. anyways that is barely the point. he is the biggest LIABILITY to CFC, be it as a striker or as a player on overly large pay roll or even as a human being who cant live in competition and sulks like a blonde bitch (which he anyways is) everytime any1 else is chosen over him.

Challenge accepted.

At least you've shown you have half a ballsack, & I commend you for that.

But if it means that you're still going to continue gargling Rafa's genital fluids all day then could you please just save us the trouble & leave now? Pretty please, with a cherry on top
