Chelsea have made it clear that it's a job until the end of the season, and for one more season afterwards IF, they can't lure Pep or Jose.
So Rafa gets to be a little bitc* for the remainder of the season, then might continue to do so if Abramovich doesn't get who he really wants for the job in the summer.
I love Rafa for what he did for us (and fully except the final part of his tenure was a downward spiral) but I don't think he's done himself any favours by taking this job. Shows how mercenary he is. I wouldn't ever wish bad on him because of how much he did for us, but I can't ever wish Chelski to do well.
Plus, I concur that he would have been more sensible managing a more honest and wholesome team who would give him a decent contract, let him do things his own way and have some time.
Whereas he's gone to somewhere that AVB has come out and said that "Firing's happen every day at Chelsea as if it's a normal part of the routine".
