That job title really boiled Rafa's p!ssNot true. I think you don't know much about Chelsea then. Beneitz was not the permanent manager, he took charge for the team till the end of the season after Di Matteo got sacked. Interim manager that's what he was, just as Hiddink last season after Jose got sacked.
Not to mention he was extremely hated by Chelsea fans anyway.
The bookmakers clearly disagree with that assessment.
Just didn't want Rafa there a minute longer than we had to have him tbh. Tried to bin JT, and prioritised EL when we were doing ok in the league.
When do you believe that Mourinho was 'lined up'? He signed a 4yr contract in 2012 and made the Champions League semi-final and Copa del Rey final in 2013. I'd suggest if he'd won those he wouldn't have been available.
Feel free not to.
Now don't be difficult. I've simply pointed out that despite winning the Europa League he wasn't kept on which I'm sure even you can agree is a statement of fact.

That is a good point. I do hope we can nullify them and find goals from somewhere.
You really can't let this go can you? Despite winning the Europa League he wasn't kept on as manager - that is a fact, as Rafa himself would have pointed out. If you want to put your own theories around it that's fine.
It's the Europa League, which is Mickey Mouse.
Thanks for all the tips - really helpful.
Lets remember what you wrote to start this conversation mate.
Here's a tip for you mate, if you want to state your own opinions as if they were fact thats fine i suppose. But at least have a bit of self awareness and don't try to have a pop at someone else for sharing ''ITK'' info. Especially when they said they were guessing.
Jose would have to come up with a better name for himself than special one if that happens
Ill go one step further. If we win the EL and Jose goes full transfer muppet next year and we win the league and CL double, we will have won all 5 trophies that is possible for an English side to win in the span of 24 months.

It really isn't. I just don't understand what you're finding so confusing and why you've mate such a big argument out of a simple statement of fact.
And we have a new number 1 superfan in the room!!!!!!!!!Exactly! Come on @stevoc , stop creating big arguments and just post douchey condescending posts to others and moany, snobbish posts undermining the European trophy our club has the cheek of trying to win and pass off as some type of accomplishment!
Can't wait for Thursday. A Big European Night at Old Trafford, it's been too long.
No. We already are the most successful club.
Of course United has to win, they'll have to beat a >20 million side easily and convincingly, otherwise it would be a huge embarassment. But United also had make top 4 as the absolute minimum, and has to play better.
Bingo.
You talk like there are no bookies in Europe.
when did we do this???
Yes, ladbrokes, unibet, names like that. It's mainly a British pass time and in lots of European countries it isn't even legal. The odds are dominated by what the British think.You talk like there are no bookies in Europe.
I am not sure the coca cola cup is a major trophy. In fact it definitely isn't. I am not sure the Europa is. How many people tune into the final for example? The fact that there is a senior competition (Champions League), suggests that this one isn't the major one as there is usually a major and also a minor. The appeal of the Europa today is that it now gets you into the CL, but the average person could not list (off the top of their head) the past 10 finals and winners. You can do that for the major competitions no problem.
