Optimistic Nut Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Aye, posted in the Other Games thread. Seems a very Rafa season. Struggle early on, hardly getting thrashed, but never cut adrift. The second half of the season show top 8 form and finish well clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hope he can continue to turn it around. Given he’s managing Celta I’m guessing he’s spent very little. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this isn’t the Celta of yesteryear sadly - barely have any money - really tough job Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Good luck senor Rafa! Hopefully he's sat in his Spanish house putting his glasses into his inside jacket pocket at about 2.40pm tomorrow! Edited January 5 by Paully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Just looking at Celta's results and it couldn't be more Benitez. No drubbings, just a load of tight losses. Hope he can see them clear if he gets the time. Were they expected to be in the relegation mix, for those that follow the league? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Genuinely believe if he stays at a club for a few years he’ll produce good results and probably put together some serious cup runs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 They've conceded a ridiculous number of really late goals that have impacted results. They'd have at least a dozen more points if they could defend after ~85mins. Really hope it works for him there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Was just thinking how it was Eddie Howe beating us that got McLaren sacked and Rafa in. (that ultimately started the takeover and got Eddie in…) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 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 Share Posted March 12 (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! Edited March 12 by Paully 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.
