I think Rafa is a poisoned chalice for any club to be fair.

I wasn't too keen on him at Newcastle as time went on. 

 

I don't like his style of football and I don't think players do.

I also don't think he has any man management skills.

 

But most of all I don't like the way he left the club, regardless of whether people hated Ashley.

His utter bull crap of saying that Chinese club was just the project he wanted was laughable. I mean it had nothing to do with the 12 million contract or so he was offered to do absolutely nothing more than any average Joe could've done.

 

I feel sorry for any club that takes him on, on the wages he would be asking.

I just don't like the bloke.

Completely agree but for years not said this is I know I’m in the minority opinion.

Yikes. Crazy stuff. This Rafa slander is terrible.

 

You do realise he was the one that first contacted Staveley and so actually even has a hand in our current situation.

 

Rafa is a huge reason we are currently where we are man. Stop it.

Mental! He worked wonders here. He left because his contract expired and Ashley did fuck all about it. To side with MA in that scenario is absolutely crazy.

He wasn't supported and so set us up as best as he could, with the players he had, to get the results we needed. You should know this though. This is all very strange.

He was perfect for where we were at that time. He got the fans on board which kept us looking an attractive proposition to buyers, had us punching above our weight on the budget he had. I don't think the club would be where it is now without him.

I never understand the people who don't rate him like among our fan base. He was a breath of fresh air made us believe we could compete, and we never took hidings of teams got us playing to the some of its parts limited budget, took us as far as he could.

Did you have your eyes shut for the entirety of Carver, McClaren & Bruce? Rafa's tacics were out of this world compared with those clowns.
