I think, in Roman, we have the best club owner ever.

I'll miss RDM.

I despise Rafa.

I'll support the team no matter what. :blue scalf:

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Waiter!!!!!!!

Would you guys want him to stay if we won the Premier League this season?

Bit pointless..unless we gave him a month expension sorta contract....bad run and he'd go

If he was mega successful with Scum feel more confident about his appointlment.But he messed Inter up when Jose left...

Just hope we dont have any other club legends such as Zola etc coming in as Managers and Asst Managers.After all they done at the club in their time dont deserve to be treated like crap by the board and co

So bloody excited about this whole thing.

Remember me going on and on about managers who can bring out the best of players and take them to the next level? Rafa is one of those guys.

This just may be the guy to unlock Luiz's potential.

FUCK OFF BENITEZ YOU'RE NOT WANTED HERE!

You're expecting too much from an interim manager who will be here for 6 months.

Messi on RDM's sacking: 'It’s difficult to judge the situation when you are not inside the club but Chelsea are a great club and with big clubs if you lose two game consecutively then these things can happen, the pressure starts to mount.'

Jesus Christ! For those who plan to do negative chants to Benitez at the Bridge, are you fucking real?!

Please just fucking cheer for the team, the whole fucking match! Not "10 mins protest won't hurt" shit, it's just pure retard.

If you really hate Benitez that much, swear whatever you want at home, at the bar, at the toilet when you are pooping, anywhere, just not at the Bridge!

@Danelka

Yes, he is shit, there is no denial in that.

But it's ridiculous that people think he is the reason every time we lose, or something shit happens to the club.

Just Because we appointed Benitez, who happens to be his former coach, it doens't mean it's because of him.

But I'm courius, which coach would you have appointed? (Excluding Pep, who is on holiday, and impossible names like Mourinho, Klopp, etc.)

He's not the reason everytime we lose no doubt, but a massive contributing factor to us is not having a number 9 that scores, yet carrying on playing torres, but not sturridge or Moses, what is the reason behind this? There is no reason that makes any sense.

My point is why would we appoint Benitez as an interim manager for 6 months? It makes no sense to get rid of RDM to get an interim manager for 6 months to get rid of him too. RDM only just got the job!

Why should Torres now get more playing time (which he will) which he doesn't deserve under Benitez over Sturridge and Moses? My opinion is I think he does possess an influencing factor, no doubt. Thats why I want the guy gone and I think it's embassing how much support people give him over our other options when he's the worst player on the pitch most of the time. Luiz and Cahill maybe at fault for the goals we concede and make mistakes, but having a striker thats afraid to shoot, can't finish, doesn't have a first touch and no pace and think that doesn't contribute to us winning is another massive factor too. The fact is the team know this and that in turn surely then puts pressure on the midfiled to supply goals which he clearly cannot.

Pretty simple solution, drop him. Give Sturridge games games and games and watch him outscore Torres. why won't this happen though? Does RA tell the manager to play Torres every game no matter what? It just seems funny the guy never gets dropped and when he does.....

[Fulham Broadway 17,305]

Lampard definitely leaving now.

Theres no way he can get his hands on any pies at Cobham now Tubby Benitez is here

[Tomo 21,751]

Rafa when asked about the fans protest's against him "the fans want the same as the manager, to win games".
