More said there than McClaren has said in the past 9 months. You can't help but love the guy with all the praise lavished on the fans

Where have you been for two years? Well we've hardly been a club relevant of his attention for 2+ years

Tremendo

ffs

I'd guess up to 20 or so, yeah.

gonna be weird not immediately hating someone tbh There'll be no spinning it, no "he might be good", nothing like that. This guys track record is fantastic and he will be brilliant if he signs. I'm scared I'm going to wake up soon. This is so lucid. Gonna go jump in front of a bus to make me wake up so I'm sure it's a dream.

I fucking love the thread title

Can't vote until after Leicester game, then we'll know if we have Rafa, and how bad the situation Knowing us we'll fluke a win against Leicester like we did vs Spurs regardless of who's in charge.

Imagine Benitez in the championship with out squad It'd be absolute carnage.

Dave! Hide the server fund. ffs

From our resident Man Utd fan

I manage a school ICT network. If it comes off I might start messing with people's computers in lessons and replacing the teacher projector outputs with massive pictures of Rafa's face. So tempting

We're doing a Sunderland, hiring a new manager a game before the derby If you can't beat them.. (literally)..

Arguably the most needed managerial appointment for us since Keegan Round One.

I'm surprised at how poorly he's done to be honest, I would have thought he'd have been better than Pardew at least. He only got sacked from a club one league below us before joining rather than 2

Charnley must have put a lot of stock in how McClaren performed with FC Twente, pipping teams such as PSV, Ajax, Feyenoord and AZ to the Dutch title with Tiote watching from the bench. He did well at Middlesbrough by all accounts but has had little if no success anywhere else he's managed. Definitely a gambler's punt if there ever was one tbh, I don't agree with the reasoning but I can understand it. Being cheap and clearly a soft touch would be the main reasons we picked him. Christ just look at how this week has gone, any normal man would come out and stick up for himself either to media or at the very least to the club. I don't disagree at all, was trying to think of the footballing reasons, if any.

All that wasted fantasy and you keep Krul in Forgot to mention that Buffon will be in as GK coach. He'll get Krul back to his best the rafa effect Palermo away?

Back me or sack me? They gave you £80m mate. Fuck off.

At least I didn't start the thread, I've got a 100% record of threads started then not happening

Don't like Missed the obvious chance of having a SD FC scarf too.
