joeyt Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It is weird that they've sold one of their best players because he fell out with the manager and then they sack the manager a week later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Would guarantee he'd make a better fist of keeping us up than Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 That may well be true, but I am not so certain that some of you would be saying that a few weeks into us having him back. Go back hundreds of pages, and you'll see why. If I were a betting man, I'd wager that some of you would default back to that dog shit once results didn't go his way.

Sifu Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Think Rafa will get until the end of the season. You don't sanction signings and outgoings only to get rid of the manager who wanted them a week later. Regarding our match with Everton in a few weeks, have a horrible feeling that because Rafa has a bit of knowledge of the weaknesses of our (current) starting CBs and LBs (because it's not really changed in 2/3 years) that he'll be able to exploit it and get a win.

The Merse Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I think the question is who would give us more of a chance of getting out of the championship - I am losing confidence that Howe could Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Rafa having an intimate knowledge of our shite is any added benefit whatsoever, I think everyone knows we are complete shit and don't have the mentality to win/close games out. If I were a manager I wouldn't be sweating at all, it's a case of when you score against us, not if. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Rafa got more points than we've gotten so far this season in his just 10 games when we got relegated with him as manager- not that I'm advocating bringing Rafa in now.

St. Maximin Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It’s not worked out for him. No surprises if he gets sacked. It clearly doesn’t sound like just a case of bad luck and there’s only so much blaming the ‘scouse mackems’ you can keep doing. I understand the long-term thinking in getting him back but why do people think he’s ideal to keeping us up? His last two appointments were shocking and he didn’t keep us up last time, albeit in less time but with a much better squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He takes a while to implement his style, whether it works or not. He might even do a great job long-term if he returns, but I still think this would be too soon to keep us up and that’s the priority now. And I wouldn’t be too confident if Everton is anything to go by. Edited January 15, 2022 by St. Maximin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krabbe2 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 If Benitez gets fired, just get him in as manager. He has moved up with us before and will do so again. Is worse with Howe and the solarium guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
