In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
No, apparantly that was due to a mix-up between his translater and his agent and nothing to do with him. It was a surprise to him, despite being in black and white on the contract he put pen to paper to. It is never Rafa's fault. Ever.He has a go for appointing him Interim Manager yet he knew that was the role before he accepted
If anyone believes that other than RAWK then really more fool them. The desperate rantings of a man looking for a red herring to salvage some credibility from this utter mess.
It's an anagram: "Interim Manager" = "I'm Inter Manager".
It'll be easy for you to blend in with your club's ethos .... you just need to don a clown costume.
Oh well, to all the Interim staff out there, you can all blame it on someone else including your customers and colleagues and see if your employers can make your job permanent.
Just don't dress as some silverware over at the Lane or you'll stick right out.

Are those the latest odds on who's taking over at Chelsea?
Haha, that's the laziest "anagram" in history...
I'm the laziest poster in history, mate.
Interview will be aired on Football Focus, looks like he wants to stay until May.
As Mick Jagger once said "you can't always get what you want". I hope he gets the boot before the week's a day older.
Well, the reception at Old Trafford should be good fun, both sets of supporters hurling abuse at one person.
He will get a bit of stick at Old Trafford but the game at Anfield is the one I am waiting for.
Saw this on the Castrol EDGE stats account:
Epic that one.
His own fans booing him, the opposition fans singing his name.
Although to be fair, given how he has them playing, we could well do the same.
I think that is going to be funny because the Liverpool supporters will be cheering him while the Chelsea supporters will be booing him.
We should be cheering him!
He's right to an extent, they should get behind their team. However fans are unforgiving and he did put them down as Liverpool manager. They both deserve each other if you ask me!
Also if I'm being honest I can't say I think very highly of him, brilliant tactician but a real arrogant smug guy as well. Everything he has achieved is down to him and where he has failed he blames others. At Valencia it was mainly Hector Cupers side and at Liverpool he won the CL with Houllier's side and at Inter he fecked up despite Mourinho leaving a treble winning side. At Valencia it was the owners fault, same at Liverpool and Inter. At Inter the Moratti had been defending him all season long, he wins the World club cup and starts bad mouthing him and board for not giving him enough, Moratti wasn't going to stand for that so showed him the door. Such an ungrateful person, always moaning and complaining about how things are against him. When we signed Theo the guy was moaning about us having money and not Liverpool, that is despite the millions he wasted on absolute shite.

This is a fallacy. His tactics in his later years at Liverpool, and at Inter and now at Chelsea have left much to be desired. Ridiculous subs, at inane times, line ups that make no sense and a lack of awareness when ahead. This tactician idea seems based around a few games in the CL in 2005, and the fact he knocked our 'best side' out of the champions league with those 'tactical performances'. The more he carries on in his career, the more those games and runs look like shots in the dark.
It's not an either/or situation. I personally don't like the anti-Benitez stuff whilst we're playing, but it seems that I'm in the minority. In the middle of the rant, Benitez actually praised our fans for the vocal support and getting behind the team. In spite of what you read on here at times, our away fans are in my opinion some of the better ones in the league.

This is a decent article on the situation imo.
Never failsEh?

Rafa Benítez just another face to be airbrushed out of the picture (Daniel Taylor)
Who's this, then?
Lampard.
That was my first thought, yes.
Terry would be too obvious, I mean there was talk of him being behind the eventual sacking of Mourinho with remarks to the higher ups about losing the dressing room. Although Rafa's dropped him, told him he's not guaranteed in the first team anymore so it wouldn't surprise me.
Lampard would be a shocker considering Rafa's been nothing but glowing in his talks about him and actually played him a hell of a lot.

Yeah but Terry wouldnt exactly be a grave disappointment to us fans, I mean hes been a great player, but its not like we aren;t already disappointed in him for other aspects of his persona.
Ok so there's a new thread about chelsea's new manager, how about one for FSW on his next club!
Sandwich club
I think the leaks will be coming from one of the foreign boys who can't get any game time. Maybe someone like Malouda or Ferreria who are just collected wages but still think they're part of the big time.
Although it does allude to it being a main player so perhaps Cole, he's always proven himself to be a bit of an idiot!
Also can Benitez stay anymore? His position is pretty much untenable now, who the hell will want the job now too? Laudrup might fancy it if he's mad but he's just another flavour of the month, which Chelsea have proven they cant commit to.

It could be Torres... which would be hilarious.
Cech? That would surprise them I think.
It's Mikel
I think that Rafa's problem is that he still believes he's a top manager. That's a massive mistake from his side.The truth is that he's haven't won a major trophy since 2006. He also ended up badly at nearly every club he was with. At this point of his career his only way to take a top club role will be as an interim manager and then he has to convince the people on top that he truly deserves a longer contract.
Of course it does. However believe me, he'll be loving his arse off watching Shitty and Chelsea in such sad situation.
His undercover mission continues
As is "Meager mini rant"
It's Gary Cahill.
And Petr Cech.
