Villas Boas (EX) Chelsea manager

[dom9]

Who to believe. Balague or Bascombe? Hmmm.

[Phoenix07]

Guillem Balague said on Revista that this isn't happening and that the Chelsea board aren't even considering it.

Also said that some in the Chelsea board hadn't heard of Marcelo Bielsa (Bilbao), so that isn't happening either.

I cant see him being a success at Chelsea for a variety of reasons

a) there cunt fans and there plastic support
b) the chelsea oldguard,still Mourinho players hanging around.
c) Roman and his wish to play beautiful football
d) Our gutter press

[Imy]

Can't see Rafa and Pako back together.

[Lee]

Obviously Rafa going to them could be to the detriment of LFC, but I sort of want him to take the job so he can show these ******s what a great manager he is.

I spoke to an Arsenal fan today at work and he laughed out loud when I told him that AFC or CFC could do worse than hiring Benitez. I told the cunt though.

[Darkon]

Who would have thought it, the English press speaking positive about Rafa?

[peekay]

No doubt about it - if Rafa turned around Chelsea's fortunes he'd be lauded by the ******s in the press.

Let alone turning around the fortunes, he might win the champions league with them

[Mostar]

Let's not forget just how shabbily "the club" treated Rafa in that final year.

Senior players allegedly going behind his back to speak with the MD.
The MD openly briefing the press against Rafa.
The H&G debacle.
A good proportion of the fan base turning their back on him.
Getting sacked.

It's a measure of the man that Benitez is still so deeply, and clearly, in love with the club and the area.

I'd be gutted if Rafa went to manage Chelsea or any English club to be honest, but he deserves success and I'm sure it is only a matter of time until a big English job is offered to him.

The "club" did similar thing to Shankly but they realized the error and gave him the respect he deserved after his death but I'm not sure that would be the case to this extent if he had taken another club and won championships with them.

Chelsea doesn't deserve Rafa and I hope to god that he says no if he is asked.

I have Rafa in a very high regard but I'm afraid that my perception of him will change somewhat if he takes the job and starts winning trophies with them at our expense.

I would absolutely hate it if he would take them and turn them into a winning club.

If that would happen it would affect his legacy with us.

The only way he'd take that job for more than 6 months would be if he's allowed to have an LFC release clause inserted.

Is Bascombe to be trusted these days?

[Chazza]

Weird he is talking him up then

Unless he wants him back in the firing line
