Unlikely. He's shown utter incompetence at every turn.
In truth, he deserves no credit for Rafa staying - it was the fans that did all the work.
Disagree with this mind, I'm far from his biggest fan but he deserves credit for firstly getting rafa here in the first place and secondly for the part he played in getting the new deal done.
It was the fans that convinced rafa he'd like to stay, no doubt, but the rest of the work in making that a reality was done by Charnley and Ashley, that much can't be denied.
