The Benitez Thread

[Ollie 4,400]

Is he still in charge? Shocking.

Chelsea is in mess, just like last season, but back then we had some fire from the Mourinho's winning team. The problems started during Carlos' 2nd season, the team was getting old, we lacked quality in some key positions, and 50m was wasted in a position where we already had Drogba.

Then AVB came and the problems remained, and winning the UCL just dont change that, then in this season 89m were spent in players like Oscar, Marin, Moses and Hazard. Good players, but still way too young. Benitez is the 4th manager we had in this period, and while before we already had a winning team built by Mourinho, now we dont have anyone to do it.

I just hope we will get a top 4 finish and then Benitez can get out of the club

I bloody hope he dont stay in the club thats for sure!Can do his end of the season jobby and go.Even if we dont get Pep there is no need to keep him

The problem as well,sacking Carlo,bringing in another manager...little time to work out where we need strengthing,who can go and stay etc..and thats one of the problems no one is given time to build a winning team as by the time the problems are realised its to late and the only option is to buy in January where prices and high and less willing to selll

When interviewed by "Q" Magazine, Paul Weller was asked "What set's you apart from other artists?" He replied "I mean it".

Whatever you think of Fergie, he means it, so does Moyes, Jose and O'Neill. You can also see it in Lambert, and to a lesser extent Malky Mackay and Kenny Jackett. Passion, desire, will to win, character, never accepting second best.

RAFA (cunty Bollocks) doesn't, big Phil didnt, and Avram is still a cunt.

Trust me, Moyes would be blinding for our club. He wouldn't stand for all these strops from Roman though. Roman would have to learn to keep his toys in the pram.

Love it when they came out with it was a choice between Grant and Rafa,,,,scrapping the barrel completly!! One sacked after 6 months and been jobless since...the other messing up every club he's been to.Duno if its true but when he took over wherever he did recently they had banners or something saying go home...spoilt for choice

Grant won the Serbian Championship.

Fetch in Ian Dowie- proven at the top level by ruining Charlton Athletic. A stable club that Alan Curbishley had just left, Ian decides that he needs to spend in excess of £15m on new players for the club. He is sacked half way through the season with Charlton bottom of the table and not even football's favourite Houdini Alan Pardew is able to save them

I'm sorry so many of my posts this afternoon/evening have been complete bollocks, I'm just disillusioned by the state of the club and using TalkChelsea as an escape from a very boring and tedious photography project

I AM SICK TO FUCKING DEATH OF IT, that's all i can say, HOW LONG NOW?, HOW FUCKING LONG, THREE BASTARD SEASONS OF THIS SHIT!. HOW MUCH MONEY DO WE HAVE TO SPEND TO STOP IT?.

It's really irratating me, we just cannot find a good manager, every manager just does shit.

What a refreshing post! Brutally honest and straight to point.

So many people have been making long posts on here that are usually four or five or six paragraphs each. But in essence, what you just said mate is how every Chelsea fan feels. And what we all really want to say.

Working miracles with limited funds does not mean you will rule the world when you have got money to spend, ask Allardyce or Roy although the former will probably reply by telling you he belongs at Real Madrid.

RDM loses his job after a few bad results and ultimately losing 3-0 to juve (though it was lined up a few weeks before, after we got mugged off by clattenburg (Which come to think of it basically means clattenburg being a idiot meant that RDM lost his job and completely changed our season)). And so far we have lost to west ham drawn at home to fulham and lost the trophy (we don't care about apparently, because its easy or whatever). Is Roman currently lining someone else up?????? I do think we have a serious lack of options right now and sacking another one would cause our rep to go down even further, but its so fucked already i don't see another one being that much worse.

We need to go back to having a manager respected by fans and players and is good tactically. For me being respected by both is more important, as it creates a form of team unity, in victory and defeat and also creates better team performances. If this happened when RDM was in charge, we would still be extremely pissed off of course but it wouldn't have been close to what it is now.

Rafa must know todays game was huge and it will now have a negative effect. If he wins, he still gets anti rafa chants etc, but a lot of it will die down and people will start to concentrate on the team etc. But now he is back to square one and we will hear anti rafa stuff for a lot longer now. I don't know anymore. I wanted the anti rafa chants in game to stop as i thought it would hurt the team and wouldn't cause a benefit and i cant see it affecting roman; which i still believe to be true, But then we as fans have a voice and something has to be done. I will always support the team and that still has to come first. At least Roman must see what we see and he won't be impressed so i can't see him sticking with it til the summer if this continues. Hopefully we can pick this up as a team, reinforce as january get top 4 and 1 or 2 trophies, but time will tell... Its gonna be an eventful season that is for sure.

The talk is: Chelsea is considering Simeone. That would be another stupid move.

Henrique, reliable source?

That would be horrible, get Klopp instead.

[Spike 12,049]

Diego Simeone? The man during the 2002 World Cup that couldn't get the favourites Argentina out of the group stage?

Rafa is a cunt

Is that any better/shorter for you then

Wtf? Simeone is a ex footballer, right now he is at Atlético de Madrid, back in 2002 he was still a player.

LOL

That would be Bielsa, Athletico Bilbao's coach...

[SeB 1,281]

I'd like Roberto Martinez, à la AVB.

As promising but managed to implement pleasant football to a bottom team, his teams doesn't concede crappy goals in the last 10 minutes as well

Funny that you point this out, cause justin used to say this guy was the greatest thing since slice bread. What is up w/ Bilbao this season
