James Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 53 minutes ago, TRon said: He moved to us so he could be closer to his family home in Liverpool. I mean he doesn't have to spell it out, we should be able to read between the lines. That’s actually fine reason to say why he would say no. however to be an ambitious club we need to be creating situations where we are asking the questions rather than being to reluctant or defeatist to try Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Just go with the ‘demand a club that tries’ if we can’t make it happen, no problem, but he’s the best candidate for the next three months and the next three years. if we had a £100m budget and d rather spend £30m on Rafa and £70m on players than £100m on players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 As much as I love Rafa he would never be the long term solution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's exactly the person we would have needed to help lay the foundations of getting the basics right again. The team, the squad, the stadium, the training facility. He had it all planned out and I won't be surprised if anything we do from here on in had some Rafa influence in some way. I'll be honest. I'd rather Amanda ask Rafa on who should replace Bruce rather than ask Shearer. Shearer would probably say keep Bruce or if we need to replace, get Souness or even someone daft like Ian Dowie or something.

We knew this already though. It’s one of those, we had to ask situations given his contact with AS in the first instance. But they’d have known he’s 100% loyal to a contract. It’s shite because he’s the perfect fit for a massive project like this, but it’s all about timing. If they (the consortium) didn’t know this was going to go ahead until the start of last week, he can’t have known anything they didn’t before that. I’ll still be hoping he receives a massive welcome when Everton come here. You never know, things might align for a return further down the line.

Conjo Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Mental that they want him out. I can understand they were frustrated with the Villa and West Ham matches since they are their closest rivals for them this season but shouldn't be reason enough considering the otherwise good results and shrewd transfer business. I'd have him back, long term, in a heart beat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very effective, but not that easy on the eye unless he's got serious talent available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
