AVB secured a blockbuster FA Cup 3rd round replay at St. Andrews just before he left, after managing to get a DRAW against B'ham City at the Bridge.

Man just imagine if AVB had stayed on just past the 2nd leg against Napoli. No Champions league, a 5th place finish (at best) and an aging squad
Man even with all the money in the World it would have been tough to compete.

What you talking about? AVB would have made up all the points and won the league, won the FA Cup and CL still, thus completing the treble. He'd then have found a way to make Chelsea a country and taken us to Euro 2012 glory.
He just needed more time dammit! Unfairly sacked!

No, it was clearly best to chuck him out, fluke a champions league win (not stopping short now  ), spend a fuckload of money to bring in a few players then dump out that more successful manager now that he can't do what the first manager did (ie get out of the CL group stage). Thats the Chelsea way, fuck history. Its all about that bandwagon towards success.

some quotes from RAWK about Benitez going to Chelsea

Absolutely numb since I heard the news. I can't eat or drink, and most likely won't be able to sleep tonight.

Well at least the Mancs won't be winning the league.

Ferguson would shit his pants if Benitez got the (Chelsea) job.

Should he (Benitez) get the time to build something, they would probably dominate this league and Europe for a decade.

Tbh, what you wrote really was the best thing to do. Well not fire RDM. We are far better off now that we have won the CL (by fluke or not) then we would have been had we not win it last season.

Oh Chelsea.
What self respecting muppet would work for that clueless Russian prick?. Oh, Rafa! I don't know who to feel sorry for most; him or the fans with him in charge.
