  1. 1. Rafa Out?



Recommended Posts

Bypassing all the drama...

What does this actually mean for the club right now? This is a crucial juncture in the season, and definitely not a good time to lose your head coach.

What's going to happen to the setup of the team..will Torres automatically be restored to the starting eleven (no point in asking I guess)

And also,..how exactly can the team or the manager himself get motivated for success when this is clearly a stop-gap measure (like every other appointment)...it worked for Guus and RDM but that was much later on in the season when there were trophies in view.

I guess this is a chance for Benitez to make himself attractive in the market again.

curse of liverpool is upon us !!! hope we can remain in the top 4 at the end of this season

All the best Benitez

Please, don't make me feel like an Arsenal fan. We're only 3 pts behind the league leaders and it's not as bad as a lot of you make it look like.

I just want to get this season done ( I reckon he'll do alright but not necessarily better than Di Matteo would of) and am both hoping and praying we get this guy below to take us forward:

The crucial word being forward. Many were still debating that question, and with the 2 year deal in place there was only going to be one answer. These circumstances and the earliness of the parting do make it a very hard and bitter pill to swallow nonetheless. In the future though Pep can possibly get us playing that tika-taka style Abramovich yearns and will instantly command the respect of the dressing room. The prospect of Pep nurturing our trio is very tantalising.

Because if Rafa does well here, his reputation is restored and all the big clubs manager-less will be after him.

Fuck Pep, Fuck Benitez, I'm gutted that Di Matteo is gone but as a Chelsea fan I'm used to that now. Anyway I hope the hopelessly incompetent Rafa finishes at least in fourth place and qualify us for the Champions league next season. But I can see him getting sacked after a round of poor results trying to get the best out of our 50 million pound striker. Pep comes in and does an even worse job than Scolari. I hope I'm wrong and Chelsea wins a shit load of trophies at the end of the season.

of the lot of things that worries me the most is what rafa will do with mata-hazard-oscar. i hope he won´t just stick them on the wing and leave one of them out and play a very conservative style and put all the attention on torres.

this is a man that wrecked one of the solidest champions league winning sides.

i am really, really, really worried and angry at the same time. i have to say that i never felt like this towards the board and roman. villas-boas sacking i could sort of see but roberto´s is just beyond me. i simpley refuse to understand what happened in six months after the CL win. i am still so disgusted what they´ve done to robbie. maybe we led one player to many go (mereiles in my opinion) but other than that ? what happened to us ? it feels like a blizzard in the face.

i won´t even be surprised if this is a major turning point. i think axing dimatteo was one too many.

"We don't need to give away stupid plastic flags to our fans to wave. Our supporters are always there with their hearts and that is all we need. Its the passion of the fans that helps us win matches, not flags, Chelsea fans lack passion. - Rafa Benitez

I was just about to post a similar quote from Telly Tubby:

"Chelsea fans lack passion." - Rafa Benitez (2008)

No offence but that's the 100th identical post!

It was years ago when he managed the Scum, what do you expect him to say?
