Don't do it, rafa!

It's a poisoned chalice, mate!

Six to nine months tops, that'll be yer lot!

If they wanted Rafa, they would surely do it now? The fact that Di Matteo has the reigns, suggests it's not Rafa.

 

Really hope he doesn't go.

I'd like him to go back to Spain to be honest.

 

If Rafa was thinking of applying is what I mean. He shouldn't even think of it!

 

I think he should go to them to deliberately ruin them even more so than they are right now!

My guess is they want Guardiola from Barca at the end of this season.

 

let him go make some money.. LOL!

 

I want Rafa here.

 

I really can't see anyone wanting the Chelsea job full time. It'll be a case of who they can offer enough money to twist their arm.

 

They can want all they like, they'll never get him. If he was ever to leave, it would be to a club with history, not some rich man's play thing.

 

Us then after Kenny

 

I now they have Di Matteo now but...

Rafa would have been silly to turn it down. Yes, it is a poisoned chalice but it is also a guaranteed pay day too. Sign a £6m+ a year three year contract and complete between six and nine months before being sacked and getting the rest paid anyway.

 

I'd ****ing do it.

 

If you look at the turnover of managers generally there's a bit of a sack happy culture. Apart from Moyes and Ferguson, who's job is safe. They're all poisoned chalices!

 

And Arsene Wenger...

Apart from Roy Hodgson, we tend to give our managers five years too, i wouldn't say we part of a 'sack happy culture' either.

 

After the 8-2 loss to utd there was talk of Wenger's job and safety thereof.

Things are picking up at Arsenal - don't we know - but another slump could see more calls for his job.

Also you can't really say 'apart from Hodgson' because that just proves my point. As a club I don't believe we are sack-happy, but there is a trend generally in the PL and we have been part of it.

At the start of every season there's this new feature of opening the book on who's going to be the first prem manager to be sacked and that stays open to see who the next manager to be sacked will be.

 

The sacking of Hodgson wasn't down to a sack-happy era. It was down to him not being up to the job which was clear for all to see. There was talk of Wenger being under threat but then there was about Fergie a few years back, end of the day he is still in a job which he has been for sixteen years.

Basically, I agree with you about the sack-happy culture but there are certain clubs that have not become part of it. Having said that, I don't see Kenny being at the helm for another four years either...
