Even as Rafa Benitez’s latest rant dominates British tabloids, curses and words of hope thrown aimlessly at him with the knowledge that the judiciously labelled ‘interim manager’ will not be at the helm of affairs at Chelsea past this summer, he may have just been the latest in a short list of people destined by a most strange footballing curse to fail miserably.
Eerily paranormal as that sounds, if stats are anything to go by, Benitez had little hope of succeeding at Stamford Bridge purely because he once danced around the touchlines and waved a fist or two at Anfield as the Reds’ manager.
“Statistics,” a wise grey-bearded unrecognisable man had once said, “can be made to prove anything; even the truth.”
