Rafael Benitez

[stringvest]

There are some right whoppers who post I n here who do not have a clue about this football club. Seriously. It's like Tom Baker responding to a 12 year old Doctor Who fan with a scarf who has read a lot of dr who books. Contempt doesn't begin to describe it. Clueless wankers.

Seriously, and honest, I haven't.

Ok mate I believe you as much as you believe rafa was desperate to leave and that u still think getting rid of rafa was the right decision even though the years of mediocrity that have followed show otherwise.

I read that post and I agreed with you until you said about the years of mediocrity proving otherwise. Because they don't. All they show is that we've had a different sort of mediocrity. It's a cunt isn't it?

But just like you'd be quick to point out that Rafa finishing 7th was down to off-field matters, maybe the same is true in the interim.

[stringvest]

It wasn't though really, was it?

[Major Tom]

Not in my view, no.

 

But I'm not a believer.

[gmac]

I don't dislike Rafa.

 

Fair enough, if that caveats you thoughts on Benitez, I’ve misinterpreted.

MT. I am not going to read anything you may have proffered on this thread. In my opinion, you've offered precious little in terms of insight, analysis, tittle tattle, or indeed facts since you've joined this forum. You don't appear to have a sense of humour, so there is some confusion as to what you are contributing to this site. I shall add you to my collection of 'ciphers'

Hehe, the forum's favourite pensioner has had one too many and is on the rampage.

 

Don't forget to take your teeth out before bed, Stringy. Have a glass of water as well. It may help with the hangover

 

Nighty night, Gramps.

Stringy,

 

You said one thing in your posts, that you were happy for Hodgson to be a replacement for Rafa. I’m not criticising you for that because you’ve admitted you were wrong with Hodgson. But why did you think that. What in that chaps history suggested he’d be better than Benitez who had a far better record.

Something about a ship, Paul Konchesky, Joe Cole and it all being Lucas' fault.

Because Benitez had self destructed and was trying to pull everyone else down with him. Or have you forgotten that bit?

Can you break this down for me please, how had he self destructed.

 

On another point had he not earned a bad season and the chance to work under better owners.

I'd have Rafa back tomorrow - just a personal view

Tom, if it comforts you to think I'm a pensioner with no teeth rather than the gorgeous successful witty urbane chap that I am. Then crack on me old mucker. Because people who have actually met might tell you different. But carry on living the dream in the damp little bedsit where you invent your gobshite theories, you tiresome cuntswab.

Cool

That would involve being reasonable and forgiving someone for their faults, which would simply never do. Get with the program.

He was hamstrung mate and he didn't become a bad manager within a year. You were wrong then, that decision to get rid has harmed our club, no matter how you try to defend it. You were wrong. mate

 

As you've said to so many others in the past, now it's your turn to 'get over it'.

Look at the state of the club when he left. He could have got another year at the club if he had not acted the cunt and forced the club to sack him.

Spot on, dude. That really is all there is to it.

With a five year contract under his belt, and the club destined to be sold, he went about alienating the owners and several members of the team to such an extent that his leaving was inevitable. His choice.

 

A rational man would have kept his head down, banked the pay cheques, and waited for new owners, but Rafa can't help himself.

 

It was a remarkable achievement to irritate owners who have just given you a five year contract to keep you on side whilst they dealt with more pressing matters to the point of breakdown. It was also gratuitous and let the club and fans down.

He was sacked by Broughton and Purslow, Not Hicks and Gillette

Xerxes / Andre Wisdom, can’t be some sort of schizophrenia going on here ?
