I didn't say he wanted all of that, I said most. Anyway, one of the choices is hypothetical, the other is almost reality and a few weeks ago beyond most of our dreams so it's an easy choice for me.
He's actually comparing his reception here to when Liverpool won the CL, I think he has an idea what it would be like to win something here and it will eclipse anything he's seen so far.
Rafa has come at one of our lowest points in recent history, why wouldn't we get a top manager in the future?
He's one of the best and not many are better. The odds are against us getting better.
What about a manager who is slightly below Rafa's level but who has a bigger transfer budget because the stadium isn't covered in SD adverts and the ground is full. Who also has an academy that has adequate funding and a training ground that is somewhere close to the standard of our rivals. Not to mention a proper non-footballing side of the board that actually replaces people who leave and an owner who's primary aim is to win trophies.
Isn't most of that what Rafa is looking for?

This isn't about Rafa, it's about his wife and her charity work.

I think he genuinely wants to stay but will not do so unless he feels he can change the things that he thinks are wrong and I personally think he's the best person we've had at the club to do that since we had Bobby.
It just shows how shit things have been that we're even debating this but that's where the club is now.
