    Gary Lineker ‏@GaryLineker 5m
    Rafa Benitez said to have been dismissed by Chelsea. Interim manager being fired, a first, even for Chelsea surely!

    Delete lock as appropiate.

    Cant be true? Can it?

    MoN sacked a few hours after playing Utd. Rafa 14 hours before. Manicini must be typing up his C.V. already.:D

    Doubt it. Abramovich isn't exactly great at holding on to managers but I think even he knows how ridiculous it would be to sack Rafa 14 hours before the United game and so close to the end of the season.

    Definitely not true but it would be brilliant if they did and replaced him with MON.

    wouldnt be surpised, put out a weakened team in the pl when 4th is bound to be the clubs priority. id say he just wants the fa for his cv and doesnt give a toss about the league in comparison.
