Benitez to Chelsea Discussion & Sack watch

K.R.A.C Keep Rafa at Chelsea!
 
Reposting this recent Materazzi interview:

"Mourinho was number one. His secret was to make the players feel involved in the project. In Madrid [during the 2010 Champions League final], he told me that he was leaving. I said to him: 'Damn you for leaving me with Benítez.'

I did not get on well with Benitez. He made me remove pictures of the most important moments of my career with Mourinho and [Marcello] Lippi from my locker. He thought he knew everything, but he was afraid of his own shadow."

It would suck if he actually won something at Chelsea..

He'll win the club world cup, making him the first man to win it with two different teams.

And he didnt get either of them into the competition.

He will also get his hands on the COC.

I expect benitez to get them the win in the last CL game, although I do think the othe rmatch will be a draw and they will go out anyway.

He will then make them difficult to beat in the league, get the defence organised, and they will do well, if not win, the europa, but they will be dull as a tin of dulux matt to watch.

That something could be Carling Cup, World Cup and possibly (but not likely) Europa League, otherwise it cannot happen. Anyway I think that he will fail in even them.
 
How.

In the years between winning the CL with the side he inherited and leaving the club after finishing 7th , Benitez spent 229 million pounds.

I'm not sure where the myth he had no money comes from.

He did have money.

He pissed it up the wall. Now he has a bigger wall, and a giant hose. I predict 73 transfers from spainish mid table teams in January alone.

Net spend though. :nervous:

Is that supposed to be Rafa?!
 
Chelsea fans can't believe this. They did see Liverpool as their biggest rivals when Rafa was at the club.
 
Just for the record: Di Matteo won the same amount for Chelsea in six months as Benitez won with Liverpool in five years.
 
City and Fulham the first games up for him.

Two games to save his job?
 
And they think Liverpool and United are our biggest rivals? Jesus Christ.
Yep, reasons for the Liverpool stuff started around 2004 with Mourinho and Rafa and all the Champions League games. I think Liverpool fans started it though with all the "no history", United in terms of rivalry is only on the pitch as we have no real rivalry outside fighting for the title.
I guess you could look at Spurs though?
 
And they think Liverpool and United are our biggest rivals? Jesus Christ.

No, your real rivals have been extinct for 30,000 years. Well about from about 20,000 of them that surfice down the Upton park way every week ;)


No , but he's found the nearest kebab shop

It wasn't hard, he's probably been working there for 2 years :)
 
Aren't all the managers Roman hires 'interim' managers?
 
I have to think he would make a better "Tea lady" than manager for Chelsea, but it's sure going to be a lot of fun around here and RAWK are going to be suicidal.
