Rafa Watch

[Marina]

Rewatching that video made me cry!

[Kenneth]

The whole things makes no sense. Sacking RDM in Nov, appointing Rafa (probably the most unpopular manager in their history) with the plan to replace him in the summer. I mean, WTF kind of way is that to run a football club. I know they're cretins, but surely there must be a significant backlash by Chelsea fans against the owner.

[Chazza]

Nice opener against City for him at the weekend.

[Fivex]

I don't see a problem with leaving it as it is, but maybe lock it until he leaves them, or until there is some non-chav related news to discuss?

[Jaymo]

I hope he does really well, then just walks at the end of the interim period. He will always be a legend in my eyes.

[el matador]

Im devastated.

I hope he does well there because it will show our owners that they were wrong to not even have spoken to him during our search for a manager.

Seriously. It's surreal. I can't believe it's happening. What kind of crack is Abramovich smoking???? It's like the whole thing is a macrocosmic video game to him.

you/we'll see at the end of the season. it's popular to sack managers after 1 season these days..

Clueless ****wits.

[Alex]

No you don't get me. I'm not speaking as a mod here. I just want a nice place to talk about Rafa and all the Charity stuff. Don't want this thread ruined with the Chelsea situation.

[RichC]

Might have wanted to hold out a few more days City might be looking for a new manager soon

Not going to happen

[el matador]

An interim manager has no power whatsoever.

Abramovic has basically tied both his hands behind his back. Im not even sure with terry lampard and cole in that dressing room hes even got a chance there.

[tiktu]

This makes me very sad panda.

Well, this is the window to show yanks who he is so he can replace Rodgers at the end of the season. Rodgers will take over Real Madrid.

I love these pills. They make the pain go away and I can see rainbow coloured flying horses.
