Yorkie Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Currently managing in Saudi Arabia after a pretty rubbish year at Valencia and after failing at Watford. Averages 43 matches per club. Rafa's stock really has plummeted beyond belief if it's true that he registered an interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Maybe it’s less about clubs not rating Rafa and more about knowing if you get him in he’ll want to do things his way and completely run the shop.

Expand Never understood this mindset from owners. Think I've mentioned it a few times on here about when we did it with McLaren, when he supposedly had two games to save his job. He then got a couple of positive results. We then carried on being shit and it just prolonged his sacking. Resulting in us going down. If you think the manager has lost the dressing room, run out of ideas, taken the club as far as they can etc. Then what bearing does 1-2 more games have? Is Moyes suddenly going to stop playing ultra-negative football, get the fans back on side, start scoring goals and go on a winning run?

TRon Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Would be a shame if Moyes left West Ham. I don't really like either so it seemed quite apt that he was in charge there. I wouldn't want someone like Rafa to end up there. West Ham seems perfect for an absolute London cunt like Pardew, they should sound him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
