The Benitez Thread

[Special Juan 28,124]

Perhaps, he is sick & tired of the shit that goes around ?

Was his timing right, maybe not ?

Chelsea are still well placed for a return to the CL & still have two chances to play for two trophies.

The fact that the club are not serious title contenders in recent times is not down to him or is it ?

The shit that goes around? He knew what he was getting himself into didn't he? Did he think this was all going to be roses and sweet smells? Do me a favour...And as for this "

'I didn't know. Obviously, you have an agent, they have to talk in Spanish-English translation, and I was surprised.

'But I couldn't change things because it was done. I thought it was a mistake, but still I couldn't change anything.'

Biggest load of shit I have read, bloke knew exactly what was going on, he's been a dud from the start and the true colors have now come through.

Did he think some tipsy boo crowd was going to yell in every game ? I doubt it.

If he was so bad, who the fuck recommended him, then ?

As I said, Rafa alone is not responsible for Chelsea´s pathetic showing in this season.

Hang on he seen past all the booing and chanting in the beginning so why get all eat up now? He was an easy choice, he was available, had a track record but unfortunately said some things in his time at Liverpool that was negative towards us, hence the stick he gets.

Rafa alone isn't responsible but he's part of it....Late subs, bad tactics, bad changes and now bad mouthing the crowd and board.

Once again. Was he anticipating all these animosities before he was hired ? I don´t think so. Most likely, he would have stayed away, then. Whatever he said when at Liverpool, some of it were uncalled for. Mind you, he was at Liverpool then.

Just bad coaching in general. Our players rarely run into space, their positioning is off, their passing game has decreased. WTF is he teaching them in training?

I said at the time he would get slaughtered, he did and still is. You didn't need to be a brain surgeon to work it out.

Listen, it's quite simple. He slagged us off as Liverpool manager and is now Chelsea manager and is doing the same, what's not to work out.

The fans are behind the team, not the manager, he needs to set that into his fat head and crack on.

Ok whatever.

Now, let´s assume he gets fired or leaves voluntarily on Sunday. Who is next ?

Just now, I read Brighton manager Gus Poyet admitted he would jump at the chance.

That´s great. Chelsea is the place for another apprentice.

EVEN MORE NOW:

It is written in the stars

Avram Grunt will probably find himself back, ya know old pals brigade and all that.

I've lost the will to live with this season and am past bothering with who will be next. Complete mess.

I just watched his press conference and to be fair to him, he was cautious not to slate the fans as a whole, he stressed that he meant the "group of fans with an agenda", which means the boo group whos agenda is to get Benitez sacked, nothing more nothing less. Of course it will get on your nerves, but the thing is he couldn't have expected much more after the pathetic showings the team has put on on consistent basis. Naturally the stick will fall on the manager and on a very unpopular manager it will fall even harder.

About the interim tag, who cares? Everybody knows he's interim whether he has the tag or not. Although it's true it doesn't command much respect. Rafa was the worst option to bring in and it was the worst option for him to come back into the game. If he's a masochist and likes the challenge and pressure, then okay, but this press conference proved that's not the case. So it was a major cock up by the club and Rafa himself.

[HRiver 1,512]

Just bring RDM back. He'd win us the Champions League again, even if we're not in it. He's that good.

May I ask what will Avram do with this shitty situation ?

Just read: Rafa asked for Mascherano, bring back Lukaku & Chalobah in January but was refused. Meanwhile, there are 3 water boys sitting on the bench, that cannot be used.

I can´t wait long enough, to see how this situation is going to be solved.

EVEN MORE NOW:

Not really going to happen . We'll win rather comfortably

Probably that.

[bushman 2,043]

Probably that.

i can´t wait. Just what Chelsea needs.
