Why?
Because I'm guessing having Rafa here and a happy fanbase is a big factor?
I reckon it'll be a factor, but not a big one. The past few years have shown how quickly we go from suicidal to 'on top of the world'.
As much as I adore Rafa he is not the only manager in the world that will put smiles on our faces. Right now under Ashley, probably yes, but if we're taken over who knows.
