Reading that Rafa has been sacked by the Chelsea board, even as an April fool joke, it felt so good. Such is the dire state of us fans now.

He doesn´t care if we are in the CL next year. He only wants to boost his rep.

After the lineups in the EPL and the cup someone has to speak some very clear words to him!

Think that was pretty obvious a while back....4th place is a nice achievement to show for half a season but 2 trophies..even better...all 3 be nice but dont think gana work like that.End of the season 4th or not he's gone so doesnt matter so much espically if he does have something to show

Lap of honour last day of the seasons gana be a bit awkard....

the waiter installs a type of mentality in a team that you can also find in Liverpool and Inter : only turn up against the big boys

Liverpool and Inter are still effected by this mentality and is the reason for their demise, and it is happening to us too

it's a horrible, horrible mentality

Tbf, Benitez is doing a really decent job, the football under RDM was easily the worst the Chelsea displayed in an UCL edition.

Shaktar outplayed Chelsea in both matches, and Juventus looked like the strongest team in the world in Turins match. Benitez is not the best manager for a long term job, but its nice that are discussing about real managers who can make the job, like Mourinho.

When people talked about RDM, it was all about he being a legend, and a very nice guy.

No, no, no.

We played the most entertaining football in the league under RDM in the begining of the season and got 22 out of 24 points.

We went into bad form because of the psychological effect of loosing to manutd in a shitty way. So RDM had to go back to basics to make things right but sadly, the board didn't give him any time to do that. Benitez is nothing compared to RDM, its not even up for a debate.
