thomas Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I don't feel like it's either or. Fairly certain he still holds the club/fans/city dear to his heart but there can also be extenuating circumstances that mean he has to take their offer instead of waiting.

Disco Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Can't believe he's not holding out for a job that won't come available under a bloke he actively despises. WHAT A CUNT. I mean call him a turncoat knacker for going to Everton by all means but fuck me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beamish Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 2 hours ago, Yelevats said: I love Rafa, however maybe he was using the fans to push his own narrative because if he cared about what fans felt he wouldn't be going to Everton. Its obvious he doesn't need the money & there would have been other jobs to have come up. He's obviously been tipped off by Staveley that the takeover isnt happening.....

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.

jackyboy Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Rafa will still be coming here. By the time the takeover is done Rafa's 3 year contract with Everton will be coming to an end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
