The Benitez Thread

[Special Juan 27,479]

Rafa thanks for what you have done, I had a go at you and don't like you but thank you for bringing another trophy to my football club.

Good luck and thank you.

[Fulham Broadway 16,956]

Still a cunt

Fuck off Rafa

[laeth 527]

The Fat Spanish Waiter has delivered! He is a bit annoying at times with his retarded subs; but the guy deserves some credit for how he has rotated the squad over a massively hectic schedule and delivered a semi-final in the FA Cup, Europa League title and top four.

Top manager and an all round nice guy. Good luck in the future Rafa! You're alright in my book.

[Madmax 9,219]

Love you Tubby

No, not really. But thanks for this!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Still "hate" him for what he said about the club, BUT you can't say he hasn't tried (and, ultimately, done) his best for the club. He'll leave with my thanks, my respect, and nothing but goodwill for the future.

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

He's done well considering the situation of players, support and packed schedule. Good job Rafa and good luck where ever your future takes you, shame Chelsea-Benitez was a mis-fit from day one. He is a great coach though.

[bushman 2,043]

No matter what anyone says, Rafa has done the job well, as I though he would. The boo crowd can kiss his fat butt now. He is leaving with the trophy.

[Fernando 6,496]

Did an ok job. Could have been easier if the fans where not so ridicules giving him stick all the time.

The guy is a professional, and in a game such as this you can talk so much crap and I would not care about it.

I will always care about your ability to win. To help the team reach it's goal.

If you do it while being the biggest douche bag in the world, awesome!

So good luck and fair well, The Interim one!

Its funny, but that outburst after the Middlesbrough probably was the key turning point to get us to where we are now.

[Reddish-Blue 2,374]

I refuse to say he's done a decent job simply because of the loss to Swansea in the cup. If we'd won that cup, the Europa League and got top 4 then I'd give him credit. I feel he's done nothing special and I don't buy that idea that our bright start in the league under Di Matteo wasn't going to last. I genuinely believe it was.

Who cares if you think our bright start in the league would have continued under RDM.

Kinda glad Roman or the board pulled the trigger on RDM, change was necessary.

Kinda glad Roman or the board pulled the trigger on RDM, change was necessary!

The same can apply to you, who cares if you thought it wanst going to last and that we needed change...

RDM didnt deserve the sack, no manager deserves to be sacked because they didnt beat Juventus and Shakthar. Our League form was still impressive and we had CWC and COC at our hands. Missing out on UCL is not a reason to savk a manager after 6 months!

Benitez will get all the glory, but people forget that we lost shameful games. Corinthians, Swansea, QPR, Southhampton, Reading draw, etc...

People will say he did a great job, but it was not more than decent (not entirely bad either). TFSW never apologised for what he said nor tried to give an explanation. Also, he had 4 trophies to win and 'only' won one. Besides we dont even know if we will finish top3!

Same can and will be said about RdM. He lost us UCL football, nearly CL spot if we hand't been riding our luck, Super cup and Community Shield. All in all it was a justified decision and all is planning out nicely as it is. Had we stuck with RdM, I don't know where we would have been, because we were in a decline and he was running out of tricks, our defense was leaking although we were for once playing a pleasing football to the eye. Besides, if we had RdM, do you think the club would be possibly after Mourinho or rather if RdM wouldn't have been sacrificed for him? Dejavu.

I know that appetite grows while eating, but let's cherish the 'small' success while we are at it. It isn't every day we recover from such an abysmal season with holding both of the European trophies and securing Champions League football for next season (+3 league positions compared to last season) in a very sturdy competition.

[bushman 2,043]

The park the bus specialist had to go then. We all know it.

Whether we care to admit or give credit to Rafa that´s irrelevant.

In my opinion he does deserve some credit.

I can´t wait until Jose comes in & he fucks up to read comments here.

I do not wish him to make mistakes but he will make some. No coach is flawless.

Also, read a bit better. I never said I hope he will.

Who cares if you're glad the board pulled the trigger on RDM?

[Leif 6,006]

Rafael Benitez managed the squad and the players look like they're together. That stems from the manager and he's galvanised that squad. There's a will about the team. He deserves credit and it's a shame that some people want to tear that page out of the history books because of something he said a long time ago.

yes i read a bit better and u said " U CANT WAIT..." which is even more disgraceful towards a person who had led us to consecutive PLs and made a team which went on to acheive so much... just goes on to show your attitude towards the club.. bloody plastic..
