Despite him doing this being entirely absolutely and utterly hilarious, most of what he's said is essentially accurate.

His outburst at the fans shows that they've been getting to him, and they will continue to do so even more now.

He's a bit mental but everything he's saying is correct. I feel bad for him.

To be honest he knew what he was getting into. Sure the fans have been idiots at times, but Rafa insulted Chelsea so many times he must know the fans wouldn't welcome him, this job was just another payday for him.

I imagine he'll be gone today.

John Terry selling cash-in-hand tours, Ashley Cole shooting an apprentice with an air rifle and Jacob Mellis setting off smoke bombs inside the training facilities.

Managers will continue to be sacked, players will continue to be signed without the manager having a say and the club will continue to be a mess from top to bottom.

And then they'll give out that the team and manager aren't performing well \o/

Meh, he's a not very good manager anymore, that the Chelsea fans didn't want and he's been pretty awful.

I can understand his frustration but if it's gotten to him it serves him right for taking the job in the first place.

An interesting take on the way Chelsea are run/set-up - Benitez as expendable as Mourinho while Abramovich seeks a different kind of stability

Makes a good point. It's very rare now that you will get a manager at a top club for as long as Fergie or Wenger; the culture of Super Rich owners and increased TV money have changed that. At least Roman has got a large part stable. It would be for any incoming manager to decide if they could work that way, alot of managers like to surrounded by their own people, like Mourinho when he came to Chelsea. Some managers would feel that working with people they are not familiar with would not help them to have a good start at the club results wise. By the time you are integrated, you could be gone.

To be honest, even before the age of massive TV deals and super rich owners, tenures such as Fergie's and Wenger's were rare anyway. It's a good read, though. My only major disagreement with it is that, whilst there is a degree of stability in the personnel, Roman's habit of going with the flavour of the month and changing his mind goes a way towards undermining that stability.

2003: Ancelotti - Milan *
2004: Mourinho - Porto *
2005: Benitez - Liverpool *
2006: Rikjaard - Barca
2007: Ancelotti - Milan *
2008: Fergie - Man U
2009: Pep - Barca
2010: Mourinho - Inter *
2011: Pep - Barca

I'm surprised Rikjaard hasn't been given the chance to be sacked yet.

Rafa is a victim of his own behaviour. He, himself, brought this entire situation on himself. Did he expect the fans to forget that he was a twat about them? He is a deluded nutjob if he thought he could walk into that job and not get grief. I hope he walks under a bus

He didn't bring the entire situation on himself and to suggest as such is idiotic. Nice to have you back, KM.

It was very naive of him to think he'd ever be accepted at Stamford Bridge though tbh.

Not that I'm condoning the atmosphere our fans are creating at the Bridge, as I'm sure it does nothing to help the team. But I do hate that fat twat.

It is like picketing for UKUncut and then working for Vodafone. You deserve everything you get and to think otherwise is the idiotic act no matter how right you think you are.
