What a mountain of a man.

We are extremely lucky to have him, totally in awe of him as I have been since his appointment.

 

I had an incident in town around Christmas time when I'd had a few too many and was just lost for words stood there for ages totally bewildered that Rafa is our manager. :lol:

Would love to know the ins and outs of his appointment, has that ever been revealed? I mean did he approach the club, did Charnley push for it?

 

We've properly landed on our feet with him, right man right time imo.

The contrast between the way this bloke carries himself and some of the charlatans we've had managing us the last few years is so vast it's comical.

 

It's as if they were from a different species altogether.

It always sticks in my mind for some reason, but when we were tonking Preston in the League Cup, at 6-0 up, in stoppage time, he was standing on the touchline still barking out orders. The bloke never stops, man. He's class.

My understanding from what I've heard is Rafa's side (not Rafa himself) approached the club as to his interest, the ball was then in mike & lee's court. Benitez clearly saw the potential for this club.

I heard that Rafa approached us first and we took advantage of it. If this is true then I fully believe that has he not then McClaren would have been allowed to take us down and stay on as manager, similar to how Moyes is doing so at Sunderland.

I'm going to have nightmares. Thanks.

When Rafa left Chelsea in 2013 there were tenuous links with us should mike sack pards, clearly looking for something long term in England. Had the Chelsea faithful not been so rude to him who knows. Incidentally Rafa's time at Chelsea was when I became a fan the supporters hated him from the very first moment he ignored all that & just got the team winning football matches & the Europa league

Incidentally, Chelsea have just won their first trophy since Rafa won the Europa with them.

I know, didn't they also win a league cup?

 

You just said they've just won their first trophy since Rafa was their manager in 2013?
