The Benitez Thread

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

One of the most used arguments against Robbie were that the board feared he won't win this competition. I'm so glad we lost it now with the Tactician.

Rafa Benitez is a completely cunt, it is so obvious he couldnt gain respect of our players.

I dont think anyone can judge whoever supported him, things might have turned out alrgiht and we really werent so good under RDM, but the members who did indeed supported him need to apologize and recognise their mistake. Same with the members who thought Corinthians was a pub team or some team that would get relegated.

I am one of those who believed in Benitez, but I was terriblely wrong. I am sorry!

GTFO FSW, NOW!

It's fine people wanting him out, but who do we get in instead and how does that affect how hiring process 6 months down the line?

any nincompoop. infact does it matter. any1 would be better. let JT be the player-manager.

[Waterfall 893]

While I do sympathize with Benitez in some senses, he sucks and doesn't have the respect of the players or the fans. This will never work and I can only hope something can be done soon

Never, roman doesn't care about a person and what they represent to this football club. Making JT manager would eventually result in roman sacking JT and i hated him sacking RDM, so i don't think i could take that happenning to JT.

Bad move by Luiz, he got angry when he was asked about Benitez job. He said he is a great coach.

no need to "sack" JT. just make him the manager till the end of season, then get the big one. plus it was just one case study.

[didierforever 7,349]

Bollocks.

give me any instance showing otherwise. an instance which shows roman has respected "chelsea" the club and its players (past and present) which was and is. roman's decisions might be good for a club, but those decisions would have been good for any club any where in the club. but for "chelsea" he definitely gives shit.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

This is a trainwreck.

We could have lost the CWC with RDM if we just had to. We stand no chance at winning the Europa with Benitez and this squad....even if we took it serious.

The first player he tried to sign.

The hiring of Di Matteo as assistant.

His relationship with Bobby Campbell.

Chill down fellas, look at his loss from a bright side. We don't wanna be stuck with Rafa doing good and Mourinho and Guardiola both available in the summer...
If Benitez keeps doing badly, he will be sacked and we will pursue one of the two mentioned above with all our might, and when Romans wants something, Romans gets it.

Really retarded we lost today...idiotic. Blame falls on everyone, but a big part goes on Rafa. I dunno what is he like behind the scenes and how he interacts with players, but from what I've seen, he couldn't lift them up today and even Frank was on the pitch...

[Waterfall 893]

Roman sacked the manager who won us the CL. Nothing Benitez does or could have done in last few weeks would have made his job permanent if Guardiola or Jose showed interest

dude seriously, 3 instances? OUT OF ONE IS SELF DESTRUCTIVE. btw how does jurgen take a part in this or who are u talking about. because as far i remember jurgen macho was the first buy of roman era but definitely dont remember the 1st player he "tried" to sign.

anyways do actually believe what u r arguing for? do u think roman sees torres as nothin other than a 50mil investment out of which he wants to get something, otherwise i cant fathom a reason y any club in this world let alone the european champions with the desire to win the CL and PL again would have that blonde as their only striker for atleast half a season. and this is just one thing. i dont even wanna go into the rdm sacking, letting DD go, jose leaving the club because of ego clash with him etc.

i dont see anythin wrong in the statement "hutcho_cfc" had written.

To be fair, you only asked for one instance.

The first player Roman tried to buy was Zola. I believe he cares about the club and it's history, as well as it's future. In fact I know he does.

Torres is a £50 million investment. It's hard to just right that type of asset off without trying everything, and letting DD go was the right decision all round in my opinion. He's a Chelsea legend who went out in the best way possible.

[Liquidator 5,176]

When is he going to cut this 'positives' crap from his post-match press conferences?

''Against a good team we had four clear chances, you don't normally see that many in a final, so that means a lot.

'For some players coming back, like Frank Lampard, it will be an improvement on his match fitness. For others, it will be a good experience; they will know what it's like to play against a strong South American team and to play in another continent with a different atmosphere.''

wow four chances. I'd be expecting at least that with Mata, Hazard and Oscar in midfield. Lampard gaining match fitness and playing in a different atmosphere- if that isn't clutching at straws for positives I don't know what is.

That moment when Chelsea are like "fuck this shit, we'll try when Spring comes around"

dude dont troll me, we let zola go out as a "free agent" in the same summer roman came in. infact zola went from chelsea on 2 july 2003 to be absolutely precise, so u r absolutely wrong about it unless i have lost my mind completely and dont remember a thing. anyways u right about him caring for the club's future(short term to be precise) but not about its past. and we were not ready for life without DD and its showing. if roman had not been so hell bent on torres he would have given dd a contract for the club's benefit and god knows DD had deserved it.
