magvicar Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I still rate rafa, and with time I'd back him to steady the ship there. And Make them tough to beat. Probably what Leicester want at this moment in time with them counting the pennies nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Basically do his best to keep them up. If he can’t? He will piss the Championship and bring them back up. Given Leicester is my dad’s club, I’m all for this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Rafa was great for us, understood the club, the fans and our potential rather than play down expectations like the Ashley yes men. Edited April 10, 2023 by Collage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

He left because his contract expired and Ashley did fuck all about it. To side with MA in that scenario is absolutely crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 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.

andycap Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 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.
