It absolutely 100% definitely is and feel free to quote me on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Rafa'll be announced tomorrow according to The Athletic. Three-year deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 If we get the takeover then we can embrace a totally new direction then, putting away the Ashley era and its baggage for good. That's assuming the consortium wants a new manager, which I would hope they would! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Rafa's not the world-class manager of 10-15 years ago tbf. He's quite good - hella better than Bruce and McClaren, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pons Alias Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Not really - loads of talk of ‘the project’ and him connecting with a working class city and him being behind Staveley coming in. It looked like we might he more than just another job, and we are a fanbase who like things to be a little bit romantic. It would be nice if all that was true. But not the end of the world if it isn't. What’s mad about that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Aye, it’s not like he’s pretty much waited 2 years for our takeover to happen, a takeover he pretty much initiated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATF Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Why isn't Rafa lying down outside St James' Park with tears running down his face, openly praying out loud to the Lord God almighty that the takeover gets done? If he really loved the club that's what he would be doing. Obviously a sellout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This idea of him waiting for a takeover that may or may not happen is ridiculous. the guy lives and breathes football he wants to be back in the game and in the premier league. my thoughts on him going to Everton is I’m gutted they are getting them while we have Bruce but if the takeover does go thru I’m not that bothered about him going to Everton Edited June 30, 2021 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 He enjoyed his time here and we enjoyed having him. He owes us nothing. It’s time everyone moved on, he’s just another manager and we’re just another club, it just happens that we both remember each other fondly enough. I know that doesn’t happen very often with us, but hopefully he’s one of many in the next few decades that happens to be. Mind, he’s fucked up going to Everton as much as we fucked up going for Bruce, but we’ll move on eventually to something better, takeover or not, Rafa will only decline with every poor choice of job he takes.

Jordan Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 He’s been offered a job in the league he wants to work in, in a city his family live in.

gdm Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) I think our situation doesn’t help.

Personally don't think there are that many around like him in terms of how he integrates into communities and so on but yeah if we'd got anyone half decent the pain would have been much easier to take.
