http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...coming-supporters-hostility-and-mistrust.html Interested to know people's thoughts on this tbh. I think it's one of the most disgraceful things I've seen in football in a long time.
As much as I think the appointment is laughable. It's pretty shocking. But then nothing that comes out of Chelsea football club surprises me now
Yeah they're shooting themselves in the foot. All that a potential manager sees when looking at Chelsea is a good squad. Shit fans, shit owner. And even the squad contains the likes of John Terry, Ashley Cole etc.
if they dont like the manager, then they are entitled to do it. hes said shit about chelsea before and i dont blame them for holding a grudge.
Wouldnt happen everywhere. We didn't boo John Barnes like that, upon arrival, after he replaced a Tranmere hero, and the difference between Barnes and Benitez is that Barnes had a record of being shite (Celtic were 3rd under him) whereas Benitez has won shit. I understand them not liking the appointment but it was poor form. I wouldn't go as far as calling it one of the most disgraceful things I've seen, though. Worth saying we did call for his head when he clearly wasn't up to it mind you.
Yeah, I wouldn't care where the manager had been before as long as he could do a good job. Hull and Scunthorpe managers aren't good enough for us anyhow...
Dalglish is far more to Liverpool than Di Matteo to Chelsea... surely? And even so, no. I wouldn't boo Mourinho. That's the board's fuckup if they sacked Dalglish after he'd done that.
Both sets of fans love the bloke and think that they are the best manager their team has had in recent history. And most Chelsea fans do know it's RA's fuck up here. But you can't blame them taking it out of the person he chose to take over, somebody that happened to call the club and fans plastic.
Yeah it's wrong. You don't boo Benitez explicitly. You can boo the management for firing Di Matteo or express your disapproval at Di Matteo's sacking but it's not Benitez's fault that happened.
