Guest firetotheworks Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 They're cutting their nose off to spite their face, but I can understand them doing it like. Him and Real Madrid announcing it beforehand undermined the position of Spain manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Stupid decision. Don't see what choice they were left with, can't remember a time in history when a manager announces he's leaving in the middle of the season or tournament and it doesn't end really badly. The only stupidity here is the manager announcing he's leaving right before the tournament when that's the only thing he should be focused on. he didnt though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 If Real Madrid come calling, I don't think many would turn down that opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Madrid announcing it is the same thing as he would obviously be involved in that Just wait for the tournament to be over and you avoid this entire mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 He didn't even tell his current employers that he's got a new job, on the eve of the most important task in that job, despite getting a new contract and probably a wage rise a couple of months ago. He's lucky he hasn't been fired into the sun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Mike Ashley wet dream if the Spain FA come in for Rafa like. Get a few million for a manager that’s demanding significant investment and replace with a yes man who’s to happy to be in a job to make any demands whatsoever.

It would have leaked anyway, they had no choice.. other than to sort it out ater the WC and go another month without a manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 If Real Madrid come calling, I don't think many would turn down that opportunity. Yeah and then you wait for the tournament to be done to announce it. This isn't exactly hard but instead you do something which casts a shadow over the tournament for the team.They literally had zero choice once the announcement was made.

Village Idiot Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Apparently Rubiales asked Madrid&Lopetegui not to make the announcement until after the WC, but they went ahead with it anyway since some players had already been told. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 If anyone can do a last minute ad hoc job for Spain at the World Cup it would be Rafa. I wouldn't be mad at him if he went to the World Cup and returned to us in pre-season. He'd never do that though, he would see it as letting his squad down by focusing on someone else even if it was just one month in the off season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The Robson situation was very much different. Robson acted with loyalty and honour in every job he had. He didn’t go behind England’s back. England had told him they weren’t renewing his contract so he secured another job. I know it looks similar but it’s really a lazy comparison Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
