Kaizero Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 As much as I can’t understand why Rafa won’t play Mitro, sacking Rafa would be the dumbest thing in NUFC history. Rivaling sacking Sie Bobby. Absolute nonsense even discussing it. He needs to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I’d probably only have someone like Klopp over Rafa who is the best man for us, now and after a takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool got rid of Houllier and appointed Rafa whereas we brought in Souness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I wouldn't swap him for anyone, even after a takeover. At the end of the day Rafa is a geordie! He saw the potential of the club when it was rock bottom, and if the takeover happens it's because he's convinced others of the potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 What would Ancelotti have achieved with this squad? If we're going hypothetical, let's do it properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 +/- 3 pts Not a manager in world football in that same bracket as Rafa would be doing anything anything but similar in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth noting Krul can't get in the Brighton team and he clearly isn't what he once was but he must be better than these two clowns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I'm going to help out the Rafa critics here since they may be a bit stumped by the question about what Ancelotti could have done with this squad. Maybe made better signings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Not entirely sure why we're even talking about Ancelotti but I would suspect he's similarly unfamiliar with signing players from way down his wanted list, on a shoestring budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 He must be sick of his life ATM. We've lost to an OG, the keeper spilling it, and a wonder goal in the last few games. Fine margins but he's getting pissed off judging by his reactions on the bench. Keep the faith Rafa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Genuinely think he will jack it in if we don't invest in what HE wants in January. Its like asking a skilled bricklayer to build a wall with a fish slice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Said This yesterday, and I know he knows what he signed up for...but Honestly feel bad for Rafa that he is going up against world class peers of his like Mourinho, Wenger, Conte etc and he’s got to work with players he would never buy or only play ones he can trust. He’s so much better than this yet he still has the commitment and belief that we deserve more and he can deliver us the success we should be enjoying under him if he was just properly backed.

geordiedean Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I don't feel that sorry for him. It's not charity work he's doing after all. Seconded. Yes lets all feel sorry for someone earning millions of pounds and living a life of luxury. Rafa will know that even with a decent spend in January hes more than likely not going to end up with a squad as good as the one he couldn't save from Relegation 2 years ago This is a squad that has no Townsend,Janmaat,Wijnaldum,Sissoko,Cisse or Tiote Theres 6 players that would instantly walk into our 11. I really don't know who people are expecting or wanting us to sign next month but we are going to need at least 6 IMO and in January that just doesn't happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
