Holmesy Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Rafa's key skill is making groups of players stronger than the sum of their parts. There's enough quality at Forest for Rafa to work his magic - Lingard, Johnson, Boly, Aurier, Kouyate, Dennis, Lodi, Henderson. He'd keep them up with room to spare Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I assume Rafa would start with his 5-2-3 style lineup at first with Williams and Lodi as wing backs and make them incredibly hard to beat and score on counters. There seems to be enough pace and athleticism in that team to bust a gut for Rafa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 His best bet would be to pick up with a club in Spain or Italy. I’d hate Forest for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Forest might be the best offer he gets in the prem for a while. I reckon he'll take it if offered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelphish Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I'll always love this man for coming to this basketcase of a cloob when his stock was still high. But please don't go to Forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 His stock has fallen since he left us, no doubt. There’s only a finite number of Prem jobs and he’s not getting anything towards the top end of the table. Forest make sense in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 If he went to Forest, I’d give him a reasonable chance of keeping them up. They’ve signed some decent enough players. Would obviously take him a while to get his methods working, and might well be too late by then, but he could definitely make them hard to beat, and they’ve got some reasonable attacking players, so you never know. Having said that, sacking Cooper already would be fairly shite given what he’s done for them, but that’s the way it seems to go now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I think he could keep Forest up if he took over now. It might take him 6-8 to figure it out but he'll get there. He'll weed out bad apples and have them training with the kids. I hope he takes it and succeeds. He's done in the PL at this point anyway imo. Too much negativity in the media around him.

JumpersForGoalposts Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I can see him taking the Forest Job, because it's all he's likely to get offerered. He was a legend here and did a great job, but since he walked away, his performance and reputation has gone off a cliff edge. And clubs know it. Unfortunately, that Forest squad is toxic and thoroughly wank. If Benitez does take the job, it'd be a sad car crash and would likely finish him as a manager. Absolute trap of a job for him IMO.
