Monday morning discussion, the Telegraph

They probably resent how Chelsea treat their managers, and rightly so. Would Di Matteo have done any worse if he'd still have been there? Wouldn't it be ironic for AVB's Tottenham to finish above you?

I really think you guys are going to struggle to find a manager that can make you compete.

Would Di Matteo have done any worse if he'd still have been there?
--------------------------------------------
But this justifies his sacking even more. Why get rid of a universally liked one for a statistically worse, universally disliked one?

Well, yes in some ways, but I can't help but feel you need stability above anything else. If you hire Benitez for 6 months and can't even see that through- regardless of what happens to your league position- how can you expect anyone else to come and manage you?

I guess money talks though, if you throw enough money you'll get someone

Does reading the Daily T "alot" include deliberating on the crossword puzzle?
Good grief is this not rather old hattish?.... And since when was the sacking of personnel the business of anyone other than the owner?

I agree with most of your points, but you don't stick with rubbish just for the stake of stability. Had we kept AVB, we would not have made Champions League, no Champions of Europe, no Hazard, Oscar etc. etc.
You have to know when to stick and when to twist, and with the likes of Mazacar we have 11.

OP, yes lets discuss Rafas run of results since he took over.

High points loosing in the world club cup final, being knocked out of the league cup semi final and out played in fact, and dropping points in the premiership against sides even this squad should not be dropping to, oh yeah lets not forget the amount of times we have let two goal lead evaporate into a draw or even a loss.

Yes lets discuss OP!

You're right really, in this case, I think Benitez is a poor choice and not really justifying himself.

But, and I guess this is my point, you've had countless managers who were good enough and I think Benitez is a symptom of that. If you sack him, who are you going to [be able to] replace him with?

Following on, I have been supportive of Rafa, but his rotation policy has terrible, we need to rotate,but we need to win games first then rest players.

The club is being poorly run and we are our own worst enemy.

To the club sacking Rafa must be high on the agenda, in reality it may give us the kick start to get us over the top four line.

For the fans its bitter sweat, happy to see him go,sick the clubs being run like a out of control asylum.

For the media its pure gold, you couldn't write it !

Agree on this seasons showing Ifarka, we have made mistakes from board/ownership level and they have left us vulnerable and open

I think he'll stay for the rest of the season, and think he should. I don't want another sacking this season.

The only way we'll challenge is if Jose comes back, and that's pretty unlikely.
