xPetrCechx 13,578 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Not sure why are people getting all excited because of what Benitez said there in regards to who our next manager is. He's likely to be saying just them based on the signs and indications that the media have pointed about Mourinho returning WITHOUT any confirmation news/stories whatsoever. It's not like he has said it because of some background information he has.He said that to you?Rafael Benitez hints at Jose Mourinho return to Chelseahttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22435003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinineUltra 1,170 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Lots of meaningless Europa League games doing Rafa a huge favor thereMeaningless Europa League games that have gotten us to the final against Benfica.

Jase 43,479 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The board won't be happy Maybe. Maybe not. Am just somewhat surprised he answered the question considering he has always avoided answering such questions when being asked previously. He said that to you? No but nothing Benitez said there suggests he has any background info and it's just basing his comments on all these Mourinho returning stories that have been running rife. Nothing more. People are just getting all excited because they are desperate for Mourinho to return (I'm hoping for it too) but we shouldn't read too much into this really. It doesn't even confirm what we want to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,591 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I don't think it's Rafa's job to talk about our future manager. Guess it's his own agenda again.Well to me he is saying the inevitable. We will get a new manager simple as that. While also in the meantime, Benitez trying to throw out his card for a new team. Cause let's face it, Benitez has done an ok job at Chelsea. That should merit him some respect in some parts of these areas. He may easily find himself with a new job very soon......my only question is weather it will be at the place I think can happen.....City.

Now, everyone is talking about Mourinho returning, again. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,187 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 To much points to his return and this for me is just confirmation. Rafa is on the inside, he will know something and it's no skin off his nose to let people know. After all, he won't be here. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 You're giving him too much credit. He ain't that complicated :-)Giving him credit? No. He's a manager after all and doing things like that are common for every manager.And as I said, I'm not even sure why are people reading so much into what Benitez said there. He's just like jumping into the bandwagon and say what the media has said in recent weeks and not adding anything new. Yet, people get all so excited as if he has confirmed Mourinho is returning.

Joe Cool 388 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 May I point out. Jose was very successful at Chelsea. If you had followed Chelsea before his time, the club was hovering in the middle of PL standings, then. Roman came on board invested millions Jose won titles. Just Google it.lol what are you talking about? Before Roman came we were still playing Champions League football and under Ranieri we finished second (to an unbeaten Arsenal) and reached the semi finals of Champions League (which we could have won had it not been for that horror result in Monaco). Some of the players that became famous under Mourinho were Ranieri signings (Joe Cole, Makelele, Bridge), so don't credit all of our success to Mourinho, because we were headed in that direction before he came.

Your original post structured in a way you could read out that the competition was meaningless, no word about the opposition being weak.
