  • Never understood the hatred for Benítez at Chelsea

    When at Liverpool he slagged off Chelsea supporters. Imagine the manager of another club slagging off Liverpool supporters.

    When he came to Chelsea he was offered the opportunity to excuse or apologise for his statements. He declined. He then slagged off Chelsea supporters while Chelsea manager.

    His management approach at Chelsea revolved solely around Torres. He was happy to sideline players like Lampard and Terry.

    His period at Chelsea was almost certainly the most miserable of all of my years supporting the club. There was a wider gulf between the club and supporters than even the darkest days of the Mears’ regime.

  • Was obviously not paying attention to that. Understand why the support would take issue with him then.
    Probably thought he’d do a Wenger at Liverpool..
