Kid Icarus Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Still think he can turn it around if they give him the chance to. I can't help it, the relationship might be a waste of time, but I still think he's an excellent manager. Still wouldn't have him here though, that ship has sailed now and I don't think he'd get the patience he was afforded previously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst form out of any of the 92 english league sides since the end of October iirc. It's mad that so many think the answer to our problems is to replace Howe with someone doing worse than him with a better side. All this stuff about we'd be guaranteed to have a proper gameplan and be hard to beat etc. Has nobody watched Everton this season? It genuinely looks like he's trying to relegate them, the tactics and team selections have been woeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMark Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Funnily enough, I think Rafa would be a superb DoF. He wouldn’t take the job mind - and Howe would probably be unhappy that a replacement is sat staring at him from the stands. It would be like Pardew and Kinnear, only with competent people involved.

BlackandWhite Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 So anyone who wants a manager who comfortably kept us up with very limited resources, was loved by the fans, and improved all our shit players (who’ve all pretty much regressed since he left) back is a lunatic? Jesus. I can understand why you would want rafa back at the moment, but there are plenty of reason why we’d take him back, too. If he had more than ten games to get the shit together back in 2016, we would have stayed up for sure. We were playing pretty well those last 6 games or so we were unbeaten, too. Personally, if Howe was to prove not to be good enough and send us down with a whimper, I’d have him back in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I love Rafa but I've decided we'd be just as fucked with him. Half the squad came out spaffing themselves silly over Bruce's appointment. I wonder if he'd have the effect the second time around, especially after his last two roles taking the sheen off his previous achievements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had less time of course, but a far better squad. - Bruce also kept us up comfortably and nobody would argue keeping him would have been a lunatic move. - He’s going to be sacked from having an absolute stinker at his latest club. As I’ve said before I get the logic for the Championship but getting a man in who failed to keep us up for the purpose of keeping us up just seems silly and desperate.

MarkyMark Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I’m caught in the middle ground of being sympathetic because it’s Rafa, and also shaking my head thinking ‘he’d have to be fucking daft to think this would go well. And he’s done a shite job there regardless of other factors’ We’re not looking for a manager, so any thoughts of his return are moot at this point. And I’m not especially convinced it would work in any case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I would personally give Howe until next month after our signings are finished if there is no improvement we have to get Rafa in and start from fresh with the intention of rebuilding in the Championship with him if we do go down.

We got 12 points from our last 6 games under Rafa when we went down. He made a huge impact. It just wasn’t enough to undo McClaren’s tidal wave of damage.

Fantail Breeze Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I quite like the thought of Rafa being single though. Waiting in the wings to put a bit of pressure on Howe, knowing Rafa could get a call any minute to save our season. Maybe I’m fantasising a bit too much, but hopefully it’ll be a bit of a kick up the arse for Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
