The Benitez Thread

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

"I cannot change the perception people have of me because I was successful at Liverpool against Chelsea,"

He seriously couldn't be that deluded. Not that I care too much or even read his pathetic excuses but this made me chuckle.

I fair the worst for Catholics.

When he was a Jew he said that Catholics had no class and the church give them rosery beeds to show support at mass.

I've heard the crowd are unhappy, will boo him and maybe even sing 'There's only one Benedikt XVI' at mass.

Rafa still believes he could lead the club into a glorious future, I read.

I am a bit surprised to read about it though.

More of these statements by him brings more hatred towards him, I feel.

No matter what he does or say, it will not help him anymore.

Quite the contrary, these statements only impedes his stay at Chelsea.

well, as interim managers go - di matteo > hiddink > grant > fat Spanish waiter

The one, tiny single, minute thing I like about Rafa is that he will actually speak his mind about the stupid old wanker that is Alex Ferguson. Most managers just lick his arse but at least Benitez is willing to stand up to the cunt

Fergie just takes the piss out of him. Even more so after his very public media rant a couple of years back.

He's in the same league as Keegan when it comes to managers who have been broken by Fergie. Can't stand the whisky-nosed old tosser, but when he reduces managers (especially Rafa) to gibbering wrecks I have to say......

I love it.....love it.

The only place to be....Rafa at Chelsea´s bench vs the red nosed plank.

Paolo di Canio has resigned from Swindon. Sign him up, surely he couldn't do worse than Rafa.

Keegan's breakdown as class! TFSW's rant was more measured, but no less hysterical

More rubbish! After the so-called Rafa rant, which he read in a calm manner from prepared notes, LFC went on to win more points that season than before. It is Ferguson who can't get over it. Whenever Rafa has been asked, including this year, he has smilingly reiterated what he said then - and he was right in what he said. Ferguson gets mad at anybody who beats him and Rafa's LFC was first in the league when he made his statement although ManUtd had two or three games in hand. When Ferguson feels threatened he turns to the cock-sucking managers like Mourinho for support. Mourinho was politking for the Man Utd job when he was at Chelsea unlike Rafa who said he would never take it out of respect for LFC fans - but Mourinho won't get it.

You can read all the garbled, biased versions or you can read what Rafa actually said about Real Madrid, Chelsea and Spain on his website:
