    Even if he wins the quad, he is out on his ear. Just like RDM. RA will not rest til he gets Pep (probably in June).

    It's hardly like he will manage us for a decade. So chill out about Rafa and enjoy the crazy ride with RA... And more silverware. KTBFFH

    Wouldnt be surprised if he won you some silverware this year.....

    You will quickly discover the class of the guy now he is managing you.

    He will get the best out of the extremely talented bunch of players you have. Can see you being an awesome prospect from january til May...

    And I hate you all for it...lol

    Id have Rafa back at Liverpool in a heart beat!

    So what??? So can somebody please explain to me what Lafa can do for us between now and the end of the season that RDM couldn't?

    I have already written this season off

    I will continue supporting Chelsea but I cannot support that egomaniac with his crappy defensive football, poor man management, nonsensical tactics and unwarranted arrogance.

    When Pep comes in his first competitive match for us will be in Europe League qualifying.....if he's lucky

    RDM has a lower Prem win rate than Scollari. Only AVB was worse. I can guarantee Rafa will have a better rate. Absolutely no doubt at all.

    say what you want about rafa, but you have to remember that liverpool were no push overs when he was there, did any team relish playing them??

    One thing he will be able to do that RDM couldn't, get the best out of Torres.

    I don't think there's more to get. Rafa will do a job but Chelsea fans wont want him there so it wont last.

    They did in his last season in charge, you know, when he took them from regular CL competitors to 7th in the PL.

    They certainly were pushovers.

    5th 3rd 3rd 4th 2nd 7th. Spent £229million ( only Chelsea spent more in that period ).

    05 CL and 06 FA Cup.

    The teams who relished playing them were whoever played them after they beat a big side because Liverpool had this ability to beat the better sides and lose the following week. It happens even now.

    Domestically he had one season of note. 09. It of course was nothing but a one off similar to Newcastle pushing for the top 4 last season.

    If he doesn't deliver in a month he'll be out and someone else will come in....not being funny but that seems obvious...can not see how you can worry about it...he'll either be ok or you will get some one else.

    isn't he the manager who dropped you out of TOP4?
    the longer he stayed and changed the team and bring new bloods, the worst Liverpool become
    every UTD fans wanted him to stay for a reason ;)

    Experts have predicted that by 2025 you will be no more than 6 feet away from an ex-Chelsea manager.

    The whole idea is that he is an "interim" manager, which suggests to me he is here to the end of the season (which could make him one of our longest serving managers under RA). However if he does the quadruple, will Pepe still get the job?
