TRon Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 It's long, and I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but you can see this sort of mindset in the top managers. They need something to aim for, then three years doesn't seem so far off. If Ashley wasn't taking the piss, Rafa would be quite happy to do a 'project'. When the project is just stay in this division then he's probably going to lose interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 If I know Rafa he'll be watching the game and constantly on the phone to Paco and the others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 If we win today, Ashley will probably think it's alright for him to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 And offer Paco a £20m bonus if he can reach the last 16 of the 2018 World Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Mate was apparently at a talk in with Beardsley and when questioned told the audience that Rafa didn't want players signed early because the values had gone mental at the start of the window. It's no wonder our fans lap it up like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 He is the difference in games like today. Hard to beat and frustrating the opposition. Pardew and McClaren would have had us all over the place. Probably would have lost 3-0 with both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgk_lfc Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 There's no way he's leaving until the end of the season imho, you all can relax. He's just not the kind of manager that bolts in the middle of the season. Same here. Rafa is not the type to quit in the middle of the season. I think he will have you comfortable in the PL by December and then put pressure on Ashley once again through the media. How Ashley responds to that will determine his long term stay. When he was LFC manager, he got offers from Madrid, Bayern, Juve - far more comfortable jobs with higher transfer budgets and pay. He did not leave. Once he commits to a project, he will try to see it through to the best of his ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna have to just assume/hope that there's absolutely boatloads more to come from him. Agree like. Needs to be eased in to life in the premier league really. Surely Atsu, Ritchie and Aarons (when fit, if ever) are all ahead of him in terms of starting games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
