The Benitez Thread

[HillWBA 77]

Chelseas last 2 managers have gone swiftly after playing Albion, 3rd time lucky?

[Peace. 4,352]

How can we let a fucking shit talk like that? This is beyond belief, sometimes I wish we were in the 80s or in Brazil...

I wish we were in 1789. I would get this mutherfucker into a guillotine and would get his head rolling on the ground.

Well, he has a point that the booing is not helping, but it's hardly an excuse for some of the results. Most of the Chelsea fans genuinely hate him and if he wanted to be more tolerated by them he should have done much better job.

Yeah i get that. And i admit when he took over i was an advocate for not doing that. But it seems like in pretty much every game he makes some extremely weird tactical decision/s and i have never see him utilise subs effectively... ever. Also you don't come out and say it in the middle of an interview. He has basically said. "Well you don't like me, and i don't like you, but i am gone soon, will get paid and have a great managerial record etc, so fuck you". That's gonna help his popularity.... If he is in charge on saturday.

If any manager in Brazil talked shit to his own fans, there would already be a couple of thousand fans waiting outside his house. I am not kidding nor exagerating!

[Hutcho 8,443]

"We have an agenda"?

Yeah we do, we want our club to succeed, and be proud of our team, and not have an idiot in charge making stupid decisions, who never liked us in the first place and came here for a years work and a huge pay check.

[Rmpr 8,977]

I DONT KNOW HOW YOU ARE ALL FUCKING FEELING, BUT HE JUST CROSSED ALL THE POSSIBLE LINES THERE!

[Superblue 6,372]

Ironically he is correct about everything he's said. The atmosphere at the Bridge can be pathetic even when all is well, let alone at the moment. Yes we have some experienced players, but we also have a number of younger, foreign players who could well be affected by the negative atmosphere playing at home.

And he is also correct about the 'interim' tag - it's fucking stupid and whether people like him or not, it gives him no basis for authrority or control within the football club which the manager must have some grip on.

I actually think Benitez may have said this to try and help matters tonight, in the hope that if the fans know for sure he is leaving at the end of the season, then they'll ease up and start supporting the team and creating a better atmosphere at home. The game against West Brom at the weekend is massive and an absolute must-win. He was probably hoping this might create a positive reaction from the crowd.

However the way he has gone about it, the media blow up from it, and our fan's hatred for him regardless, could make things even worse at the weekend.

[Leif 6,006]

So proud of our fans who go to games and sing about getting him out. So rarely are we heard, but we're once again getting back some of that old school Chelsea 'thug' (I use that term lightly) image from pre-Roman.

[Hutcho 8,443]

The only thing that would have made this issue blow up even more would be if we had lost vs boro...

Just saying its a bit weird how his outburst came after a win.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

There is no way this could turn into a positive—He knows how the media works, or he should do anyway. If it was possible to alienate the fans even more so, he's done it. Surely he knows he'gone before the weekend, or at the very least he wont stay beyond May.

Yeah i get that. And i admit when he took over i was an advocate for not doing that. But it seems like in pretty much every game he makes some extremely weird tactical decision/s and i have never see him utilise subs effectively... ever.

Which is exactly why I think he'll be off tomorrow. Seems like he knows he's gone. Call me a cynic, but I can't see a repeat of last season this time around. This season is a shambles.

and united?

Ironically, as the majority including me can't want to see rafa leaving, his outburst could have fast tracked it, meaning i might like him a bit more.

Yes, but that is not the problem....

The problem is that he thinks we are the problem, where it is all because of him!

He speakes like we are losing because SB is shit and not the other way around.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

The great Guus Hiddink was interim, wasn't he ? At least judging from the duration of his contract. So who the fuck is this cunt to say anything about it ?

Again, he was a spectator for two years and we gave him a job. He's not only a terrible coach, he's an even worse person.
