The Benitez Thread

[The only place to be 11,313]

It would be really stupid to replace him , he's been known for his control over the players . Which he clearly couldn't do so in this interim Period , that kinda explains why he hasn't taken any bold steps so far . I would love to see him as our permanent manager , then i'd decide if he worths it or not .

I thought you were a Torres supporter, not a Chelsea supporter.

Maybe Rafa will sign him at his new club, although I doubt he's that stupid. Plus having seen Torres's goal against Brentford I reckon he could do some real damage in League Two....maybe even League One.

I believe Chelsea can not afford to sign Rafa & they won´t. There is too much animosity against him. Roman can see it clearly.

He was already told just to hang on to top four in PL & that´s it, See you later.

Loved this view on our situation and Rafa 'the rigid'.

The simple fact is that if we had won games against 4 teams in the bottom half of the table (Fulham, West Ham, QPR, Southampton) then we would be ONE point off the top spot.

If we had just held on to half-time leads in two games (Southampton, West Ham) then we would be EIGHT points clear of Spurs.

Under DiM Chelsea key players were overused. Therefore, a very tired team inherited by Rafa.

Are you being serious? You're actually using "they were tired when Rafa came" as an excuse for him?As opposed to now? Lampard and Ramires play 90 minutes every game, even in the cups. Mata and Hazard are over-used. RDM and Rafa actually have very similar rotations with the only real difference being Moses versus Oscar.

This Rafa business is starting to get real messy just like the Torres saga. Why do ee continuously shoot ourselves in the big toe, soo unnecessary.

I cant wait till the end of the season....rafa sucks....he is here for an hidden mission...to use my dear club to resurrect his soily career...he is never a good manager....

So Roman has told him do finish in the top 4. If that is the objective, then why the fuck did he sack Robbie ?

The rumor is that RDM told Gorlay that he wasn't going to start torrid in Turin vs Juve. RDM was told that if he did this, then his job would be on the line. The rest is history. Another version of the story was that RDM told Gorlay to fuck off ala Ray Wilkins style. RDM achieved the same results as Butch Wilkins.

Honestly the gains from team unity I think would be greater than the benefits of having rafa. Even if it is someone with minimal experience but has the backing of fans and the respect of the players. Rafa may be a good tactician as some people say, but a club legend like RDM would be far more beneficial than someone who isn't liked by the fans and maybe not respected by the players.

what a line-up??? great cal FSW... u fucking bastard, go and fuck urself and fuck your blonde whore...

[Peace. 4,352]

From a certain point of view, tonight, the line-up selected by the coach is as "what the fuck" as the one selected in Torino. May the same outcome occur to the coach ? ... If only.
