Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

Ain't seen the presser yet, is this correct?

 

 

I just saw some highlights, and I wouldn't say smiling throughout.

 

He was smiling quite a bit and didn’t look all that pissed off. Pointless trying to read his body language tho

 

So you're saying we need to call in the N-O Body Language Experts. Done.

Nothing of note to see in that clip. Possibly a bit of additional tension at one point, re transfers (extra lip pursing as if inhibiting his intuitive first response). But but of eye sparkle at some points, i.e. even though quite flat throughout easily changeable/his humour isn’t too suppressed. That isn’t a depressed, stressed, anxious or angry man.

It’s an absolute f***ing travesty that he hasn’t been told his budget yet.

 

The day these c***s leave our club, man. Can’t f***ing wait. w*****s.

The fact he hadnt been told is the budget. It's fuck all and a Sports Direct mug.

Just want everyone to fuck off forever tbh. I fucking hate rumours, ITKs, the outraaaageous banter, and everything about the whole thing.

Hutchison is a prick - always has been. Ignore.

He was on Goals on Sunday last week and he had far too much to say, if you know what I mean.

Everything is speculation but no transfer activity from Ashley suggests to me the deal is very much on and he expects it to go through.

 

After coming back up under him we looked like relegation fodder twice and both times he sanctioned spending in the January window, worked once didn't the second time due to McCLaren.

 

The stakes are even higher now with the increased TV money, just makes no sense that if it was all down to him he'd let it ride on this squad because whatever happens he'll lose money when spending a little gives him a strong chance of making it.

Just watched his press conference. He's beaming like a Cheshire cat when he walks in and then when the talk comes round to transfers it is almost like he's trying to look miserable on purpose then when asked about him needed players by the 20th January he says "maximum" but again has a massive grin then still smiling talking about options and targets.

 

Given how angry and aggressive he was in pressers in the last Jan window and in August........... I wonder if he knows something...

Rafa's a pretty chill guy so it's hard to read in to things too much. I know he gets angry at times but in interviews/press conferences he hardly ever seems to lose his rag despite whats going on.

 

I remember the season we went down after we'd lost to Norwich and we were pretty much doomed his reaction was the same 'We focus on the next game'. He doesn't get flustered easily.
