Guest Posted March 11, 2024 Share Posted March 11, 2024 Even when they get thumped against the big boys (Real Madrid last night) it seems like a Rafa "tight" thumping last night. 0-4, with two own goals and it still only 0-1 upto the 80th minute.

Paully Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 (edited) Would love him as sporting director! Who on earth advises him to take on jobs?! Us included - not that I'm complaining as I loved him as manager! Some of his choices these last 10 years have been crazy!

Deuce Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 I’ll always love this man. One of the few things Ashley got right (and then invariably fucked up). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the man and he's got a lot of qualities befitting of a director. I just don't think I could handle the inevitable butting of heads with whoever our coach is, or him eventually deciding he wants the coaching reigns again himself.

The way most clubs are run thesedays, not many top clubs want a manager like him anymore. He takes what he can get.

At one point he was coaching an under 11s team because he enjoys it so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 Much like Mourinho, it just feels as though the game has evolved rapidly and somewhat passed him by. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 I don't think the game has passed him by at all. He's just taking on these enormous challenges. I have mad respect for that. Love him to bits, me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 That Celta Vigo job, they were never going to be doing anymore than challenging to stay up. They don’t have the budget or the players. No idea why they have binned him off. The Everton job, he should have been wiser on that one. The job in China, again he should have been wiser to accept that. They were spending big, but everyone else was spending bigger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 Haven't watched a single kick of a ball but really sad to see that it didn't work out. Made the point a couple weeks back that their season has been utterly devastated by really late goals that have swung loads of games - including turning wins into losses. Do kinda wonder what's left for him at the top level given the results at his last three jobs. Certainly nothing at NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
