Bobby Di Matteo sacked..Rafa hired

[King Gizzard]

Breaking from news outlets...

[King Gizzard]

Roman is bonkers

[Marc]

Aw poor little guy

[King Gizzard]

the gags are rolling out already..

Di Matteo Wins the sack race. Poor Mark Hughes can't win a ****ing thing this year!

[Marc]

Poor Mark

[Brother Leon]

Terry as player manager is my bet.

[Novo]

Mark Hughes - Doesn't win a game all season.. still has a job
Roberto - 3rd in League, Still in league cup, Still in Champions league.. sacked

I expect Di Matteo will be sacked in the morning

As I suspected

[Marc]

You just said that to be funny

[King Gizzard]

I've just kicked a horse

why?

[Locke.]

Please don't do it Rafa!!!!!

[Brother Leon]

Oh, please be Rafa!!!!

How I missed that guy. :joker:

[Locke.]

Give him it full time and he will win the league, it must not happen

He is the one person that would be able to get Torres going there aswell

[Brother Leon]

Give it to him, it's a two horse race between the Manny clubs again.

[Locke.]

The ideal man for the job is Harry Redknapp, watch them fall down the table and get the added bonus of Harry's updates through his car window on deadline day.

[Locke.]

Guillem Balague saying Guardiola was approached a few days ago, so they already had pretty much made their mind up before last nights result.

[Petershaw1984]

Silly decision by roman

[King Gizzard]

Guillem Balague ‏@GuillemBalague

Rafa Benitez will be the next Chelsea manager

[Jesus.]

Don't do it Rafa. You're better than those classless *****.

[Locke.]

The Chelsea forums are in meltdown, they really do hate him for some reason.

Going to be even weirder watching him manage them than it is watching Torres play for them

[Novo]

Amazing :joker: :joker:

[Marcus.]

oh dear

[Brother Leon]

:joker:

Amazing, just amazing. Roman single handedly withdrawing Chelsea from the title race.

It's because they bought the media campaign about him being a crap manager who cost Liverpool honors, rather than the truth.

[King Gizzard]

Telegraph Sport ‏@TelegraphSport

Benitez has signed an 18-month deal.

[King Gizzard]

I think he'll do well, surely sacked if they don't win everything though

[Locke.]

"I don't care what he's won in the past, I don't want him anywhere near our club and I will be utterly disgusted and sick if we appoint him, even on a temporary basis.

The thought of seeing his smug, fat face and listening to his inane ramblings sitting at a press conference in a Chelsea tracksuit is enough to make me start watching Rugby instead. "

Rafa doing us all a favour and emptying out Stamford Bridge

[Brother Leon]

Rafa had problems with Liverpool and the powers above etc. No way he and Roman are going to work well. :laugh:

This is great.

[Novo]

More to do with the Champions League Semi Final in 2005 i would say

[Jesus.]

Rafa only had problems with owners, when they promised him things that mysteriously didn't appear, and then sold his players without giving him the money to spend. And telling him what he had to spend, then as he was about to spend it, they withdrew it.

Don't make Rafa promises you have no intention of keeping, and he's golden.

[Marc]

oh okay

[Marcus.]

it an deal he there till the season over

[Jesus.]

I think it's more than that. The fact we beat them with Djimi Traore should work in Rafa's favour. The media tore Rafa to strips.

[MTVN]

Only till the end of the season, not 18 months?

[Locke.]

"Bad day. Up there with relegation in 88.

Sickened. "

[King Gizzard]

Telegraph say 18 months, doubt he'd take a short term deal. Roman would have no problems getting rid of him for Pep anyway.

[MTVN]

Well interim manager till the end of the season is what they've just said on the City-Madrid build up :idc:

[Locke.]

The official site says until the end of the season

[Marcus.]

chelsea fans on tiwter wow

[MTVN]

Here is a statement from Chelsea:

"Chelsea Football Club can confirm Rafael Benitez has been appointed interim first-team manager until the end of the season.

The owner and the Board believe that in Benitez we have a manager with significant experience at the highest level of football, who can come in and immediately help deliver our objectives."

Looks like Rafa had a rethink about that statement after the Champions league final :pipe:

[Locke.]

Think I'll sign up as RafaFan to that Chelsea forum

[Brother Leon]

Epic Rafa moment.

The second he cracked and we won it.

[Locke.]

Remember that great day when Rafa was at the helm of a humiliating defeat for Utd at Old Trafford, 4-1 I think

That's a myth. We won 9 and drew 2 of those last 11 games. It wasn't this that cost us. Your lot posted a really good points total. That's it.

Rafa was actually pretty much spot on here. Whiskey nose still gets away with it to this day.

Yeah. I remember winning the league that season too.


Everything was ok in the end ;)

Colwyn Bay FC ‏@ColwynBayFC

Chelsea have spent £69m on sacking managers since 2004. For that you can run a decent sized non-league club for 250 years #supportlocalteams

[Brother Leon]

Could of bought another Torres for that.

[Novo]

United could have brought a team of Bebe's for that much

[King Gizzard]

Could have bought a good few Benteke's

(Benitez to Chelsea) Absolutely numb since I heard the news. I can't eat or drink, and most likely won't be able to sleep tonight.

:joker: love this twitter

RAWK can always cheer you up if you are down for whatever reason.

Rafa :(

[bbfan1991]

Rafa will fit in well with Chelsea and with Abramovic, both are unpredictable:joker:.
