But we're all assuming that financial gain was Rafa's prime motivation.
Yes, he's set for life ... but then he was probably set before he said 'for sure' on the dotted line.
Perhaps he thought this was a role for him to get back in the game, rebuild his reputation and win trophies. He quite obviously thought wrong, but his methodical approach makes me think it was a calculated risk he took and one that has back-fired.Comment

I genuinely think he went there to finish this season well then get backed as permanent manager then properly challenge for the title after a year or two.
Clearly the strength of the dickhead chav fans reaction, Torres' form and a few too many poor performances have undermine all of that. He's set for life anyway. He didn't need the cash.Comment

Yep, like em or not they tend to at least challenge for the very best trophies so it's still an attractive job in that respect. He probably thought at worst he'd get a league cup, world club cup and be on his way or at best do great in the league, add a few trophies, win em over and get it full time. Not a chance he just went there for a pay day, he wants to work.Originally posted by barnes10 View PostComment

He sold us Sturridge.
If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?Comment

Chelsea have confirmed that their interim fans will leave the club when Roman Abramovich does
Rafa's legacy is to have been able to get CFC fans singing and making their own flags. Almost a real football club.

Ok, which idiot mod put 'interim' in the thread title? It was a massive mistake.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

rafa's a very good coach and a fantastic tactician but he's not a very good manager and it shows yet again. i doubt he's a good understanding of the media and supporters. he got the message and the timing. again. he's a baffling man and i'm starting to doubt whether he's got the social intelligence needed for the job.Comment

Really!
He's an excellent manager, the problems at Stamford bridge stem from players having too much power and Abramovich seemingly not concerned if they do. It's no coincidence that so many managers have been in and out of Stamford bridge in the last few years!Comment

It's no coincidence that so many managers have been in and out of Stamford bridge in the last few years! It's hard enough to be successful when everyone at the club is pulling in the same direction, let alone when there are factions and agendas a plenty swilling around the club and team, and fans like they have spouting bile at every game.
If a manager isn't given the time and power to quash those harmful elements, or if the club doesn't take action itself to pull them into line, then imo a manager has almost a zero chance of success, especially if that club can afford to chop and change managers at the drop of a hat.Last edited by Vermilion; 02-03-13, 11:39 AM.Comment

It's a mistake to tell people why he's done it, to try to justify his decisions. All he needed to say yesterday is that his "outburst"/comments on Wednesday were for the good of the club.
I think he's a calculating but emotional man and the two sometimes come into conflict..
