Terrible decision by Rafa to have gone there, he'll never be accepted by the Chelsea fans and the press will love sticking the knife in, I can see his reputation actually being made worse in this country from him being there

Crazy the turnover of managers at that club, simply mental.

Since Mourinho only Ancelotti has lasted more than a year

[Bender]

When asked about his future after Saturday's Upton Park reverse, he said: "No. I am not 100 per cent. We didn't win today - that is the main thing.

"I would say it depends on the things that we can do on the pitch. So if we improve on the pitch, it will be easier for everyone."

[Chris]

Shocking start for him, they were only 4 off top when he got there, it's now 10. Long may it continue and their despicable supporters end the season utterly miserable meanwhile Rafa should be able to pad his CV with the World Club thingy and League Cup.

What's the least number of games a Premiership manager has survived?

[Kenneth]

Dunno.

[TheElephantMan]

So Rafa's yet to win a match after a whole year in charge and
Di Matteo was sacked four months before he was even appointed!

No wonder Chelsea fans are so pissed off.
