Varadi Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Nah, they won't go for Rafa. You just told us they wouldn't sack the last guy, why should we trust you now?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Why would they be mad to not go for Rafa? As if he's their only option man Because he's Spanish and arguably one of the best tournament managers in the world? I presume it'll just be whoever the assistant is tbh. They play in two days.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Luis Rubiales looks a hard cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Rubiales is legitimatelly pissed that Lopetegui talked to Real Madrid behind his back - he's said he knew nothing of the deal until 5 minutes before it was announced. And as I said, during his stint in the FPA Rubiales showed he's no one that will let himself be taken for a mug. This is a mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Don't blame Spain at all. Wonder which ex-player they can convince to train the team through the world cup. What's Xavi up to? Rafa is the last person who would take a job with two days notice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I thought the whole thing was stupid from the outset, announcing you are leaving when you should be focusing 100% on the tournament and your team is incredibly dumb. But I didn't expect him to get sacked SBR did the same in 1990 if I recall without the announcement. The announcement is the key difference though. And the fact it was the FA that decided Robson was leaving England Fair, I was born that year so I didn't know Just responded based on what LFEE said.

But I didn't expect him to get sacked SBR did the same in 1990 if I recall without the announcement. Not really the same tbf Yep - happens all the time - Conte did it with Italy/Chelsea, Hiddink has done it multiple times with different countries - difference was they telegraphed their decision ahead of time, their contracts were expiring and gave the FAs a head up they wanted to go back to club management. Lopetegui apparently told them 5 minutes before the announcement that he was on his way out... and had just signed a new deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan 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.

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...

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.
