GavMcEl Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I think Spain will come a calling and then rubbing shoulders with the Chuckle Brothers after playing Rotherham won't look so appealing. I know right? I hope he goes back to Spain (if he doesn't stay here obviously) the thought of turning on motd on a Saturday night and seeing him standing in the dugout of another premier league team , after we have just gotten bummed by Huddersfield would be just to hard to take Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was always one I thought we would bloody draw. I thought that would be because Villa made it hard for us though not because we were utter shite, my mistake. Ironically could see Mackems losing and then us fucking it all up against spurs lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Every PL team either has a good manager in place, is too small for Rafa or is a rival of Liverpool. So if he's desperate to stay in England - and we've read how he managed kids teams because he hates being unemployed - we might still be the best, most exciting option for him.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm not saying Rafa will stay but a season in the Championship is 9 months (August to May). If he stayed and was given free reign over the whole club to put his rebuild plans into place, surely he'd be confident that he'd get us promotion at his first attempt? He was interested in taking us on as a project. Is a 9 month stay in the Championship really a deal breaker on a 3 year project (his contract is for 3 years)? At least he may be able to get rid of the losing mentality from the club if we were winning most games. We'd get back to the Premiership with a positive outlook and a well tested playing style in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The Spain "link" worries me, he'd not have to be away from his family much as an international manager surely. Other than that I guess it's possible he would consider Everton, but any other English club I don't see the appeal for him really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I guess it's possible he would consider Everton, but any other English club I don't see the appeal for him really. The infrequency of international football means you don't have to be in Spain as often as he would coaching over here. t's also the next step in management for him to go; if offered, in his shoes I would take it. Who could blame him regardless of our plight? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Couldn't see Rafa going for international management yet like. He seems very hands-on and like he enjoys being involved in running a football club day to day, I'm not sure international management would scratch that itch for him.
