Di Matteo / Benitez / Chelsea comedy show [Merged]

[Herr Tubthumper]

I'm enjoying this thread

 

[Frutos]

Sky Sports News say that a well-known Champions League-winning Spanish manager who is currently unemployed has cut short his TV and media commitments and is flying to England as we speak for an interview tomorrow after which he is odds-on favourite to be offered the job.

The bad news for Chelsea fans is that said individual is Rafa Benitez and not Pep Guardiola.

 

[Sam Ovett]

I've applied. I hope I get the job

 

[Horsham Gull]

Rafa Benitez

Back in the premier league with Chelsea til end of the season

 

[Frutos]

Surprising appointment in the sense that he's hardly known for the kind of champagne football that Roman seems to crave.

Mind you, after Pep made clear that he wasn't interested I guess their options were limited.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

And he turned them down before because they were only offering him a one year contract.....

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Will he make it till the end of the season?

 

[OSRGull]

Rafa Benitez

At least it's not Palace threads after Palace threads I suppose.

 

[Acker79]

They were saying on ssn earlier how roman wanted to get the best out of Torres and wanted the team built around him, and noted that benitez got the best out of torres.

 

[HASSOCKS-BHA]

Don't get this...!! He turned this down before because it wasn't permanent, now he accepts it knowing full well that favourite Guardiola is ready in the wings when his 'Sebatical' in NY is over. Strange game football, even stranger in the world of Chelsea..!! I wonder if Gus day-dreamed for a second that it could be him..??

 

[Philzo-93]

I wonder how Liverpool fans must be feeling then

 

[Ernest]

I WAS hoping he WAS coming to the AMEX as our MANAGER when GUS is SACKED

 

[Philzo-93]

I wonder if Di Matteo will join us in Gus' backroom staff

Why do i get the feeling that in January Benitez trys to buy Gerrard so Lampard can go to Shanghai

He'll be wasting his time. Gerrard would go from a Liverpool legend to a Michael Owen. Liverpool fans will never forgive him for going to man Utd.

gerrard and torres were a formidable partnership. it would be nice seeing it on match of the day again.

 

[Acker79]

Benitez's win record with Liverpool was 55%. RDM's with chelsea was 57% and that was among, if not the, lowest of the abramovic era.

what HAPPENED to MARCUS HUGHES ?

 

[Ernest]

what HAPPENED to MARCUS HUGHES ?

HE is on the SHORT list along WITH Gary MEGSON, Roy KEANE and Paul JEWEL

Actually we all know it's part of the master plan.

1) Create turmoil in the stands
2) Try to destroy team morale (If it hasn't already happened)
3) Sell Nando back to LFC for about 3/4 million.
4) Explain to JT and Lamps that they would have never got into his 2005 team.
5) Show them how to win the CL in style
6) Showing them all how to do the "Fat Spanish waiter shuffle".

Guardiola to City
Jose back to Chelski
Rafa to Real........
Wait for the summer madness begin
