Wallace Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 It seems to me that since the media started the whole "Rafa's negativity is affecting the team" narrative after the Huddersfield game that suddenly a lot of fans are becoming more vocal about Rafa needing to look at himself first and criticising his tactics and buys.

"He'll say yes or no. He has the final word, no one else. I'm not going to do things like bring players in behind his back, I'm not into that.

I'd imagine not many clubs would want anything to do with him after his dodgy dealings behind Keegan's back, it's easy to forget how much respect Keegan still commands in the game, he was a megastar back in the day. Pretty sure Wise walked out on Leeds to take up the role here aswell. Basically everyone thinks he's a c*** ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
