The Benitez Thread

[klopfzeichen 78]

what a joke we are becoming

We're running out of managers too. If Benitez and supposedly Pep don't work out we're f**ked.

If we suddenly beat city, how things will change on here though lol. And if we lose to city i expect to see at least 3 threads about how it is all rafa's fault....

I doupt a win agaisnt city will make Chelsea fans instantly like him,at least i won't for sure.It doesn't have to do with his ability as a manager,it has more to do with his liverpool past and character in general.

It's actually a Fawlty Towers (old british sitcom) reference I believe.

Manuel, so funny...

And please have some respect. Calling someone "fat,ugly twat" etc over the Internet makes YOU the twat (for the most part, the guys calling him that take a look in the mirror ). Decision's made, if you don't like it keep it to yourself. Any true fan would move on and support the club and thus the manager. We can't expect results if the 12th man - the fans - can't get a grip. Football is a business nowadays, welcome to the real world. Noone gives you anything for being a legend, results are all that count. Saying this again, welcome and good luck Rafa Benitez.

Show some respect.

YES could be worse ,Sparky or King Kenny or Roy Keane ..............on second thoughts ,,would they have been worse ???

Guess we'll find out

I think Roman's just biding his time until he completes his coaching badges so he can take charge himself.

I never said anything about Rafa being ugly or fat (this isn't important in football). We're not modeling agency.

I just said that I won't support Rafa and I don't have respect him and that's my opinion and I will write it because this is forum, where you can say your opinions.

Yeah of course, i don't particularly like him for his managerial history, liverpool and zonal marking etc, but he is our manager now and in todays day and age players and managers move alot, and there comes a point where you have to put it behind you. We can critisise him if he takes us in a direction we do not like, but lets firstly give him a little bit of time. And secondly look at what he does here and not what he did several years ago with different players at a completely different club.

Didn't mean to point it at anyone. Just skimmed through the forum and those kinds of "opinions" caight my eye, didn't even look at the poster's name

This May will be exactly 20 years since I started following Chelsea and this is the lowest point I can remember. After premature sacking of RDM, at least I've hoped Chelsea has agreement with Guardiola and a long term plans with young and talented coach who has a many respectable attributes. Rafa is a shitty coach who wouldn't recognize a pornstar if she would lay in front of him with wide open legs.

This is slap in the face and I would love to say to all those Abramovich's advisors one big F*** Y***. Disgusted!

This point probably made already but I'll make it again anyway.....Benitez's first job will be to deal with fall out from Clattenburg row

[mediator 2,026]

Well'Cum and Good Fuck Raf i mean welcome and good luck xD

[Reddish-Blue 2,223]

Let's see how good Benitez is. I personally don't see him as an 'upgrade' on RDM.

[klopfzeichen 78]

So our support will have to sing YNWA too?
