If we got relegated but had the takeover, with a promise of ambition, would Rafa stay?

No.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I dunno, seems fairly unlikely he could be bothered with another year in the Championship.

 

I'd still rather be relegated and sold than survive and not be.

[TRon]

What worried me most about tonight was the palpable lack of character. Have come to expect the opposite from this group of players.

 

I think two or three high quality signings will lift the players massively. Too much responsibility resting on a squad that's not good enough in some crucial areas and they know it. Put a new striker in, a gk, and maybe a quality midfielder and the rest of them will probably raise their game to match. Confidence is everything.

If we go down he deserves to be sacked...infact if we lose the next 3 he deserves to be sacked as losing 10 from 11 games is a sackable offence

Who would you bring in then, should we lose the next 3 games, 2 of which are against Arsenal and Manchester City?

So he is impregnable is he?....He will be on Carver esque runs of losing whenw e lose the next 3 and if Pardew or McLaren or the licking man had them runs they would be crucified

 

But oh no its rafa so he isn't to blame

Mong.

[Lush Vlad]

Complete and utter mongrel.

[geordiedean]

So let me get this right if we get relegated then no blame at all from people on here will lie at the managers feet??

 

WOW

Er, I think this is the bit some have an issue with.

Again what sort of losing run do we have to go on before he is questioned...8..9...10...15  how many??

I'd wait until after January personally, then see what he can do with a squad he's happy with.

[BlackandWhite]

Obviously you'd have to be stupid to want him sacked.

 

He's not the next coming of Jesus. He can't perform miracles. We have a championship quality squad that is destined for the championship. No manager could change that.

 

At the same time I think Rafa hasn't covered himself in glory with some things. What I don't like the most of all the few problems I'd have is he's given too much hints that he thinks his players are completely useless in the public, he's 100% correct of course because the squad is shit, but I'd be very careful about giving any hints of that opinion if I was the manager because damaged player morale won't help at all.

Could be too late by then and what sort of quality player is going to want to come to a team that in all fairness could be bottom of the league by then

[Consortium of one]

I voted 7, but would move it to 6 if the deal has gone through.  Even if he gets some needed players in January, they still have to get bedded in and all.  What we need is to get a striker that goes on a Cisse-like streak and carries the team to safety.

We've been over this loads of times on here, Ashley has given Rafa a Rally car to finish an F1 race.  Its not going to happen, you can blame Rafa all you want but he isn't to blame for the serious lack of funding he needs to make sure this club stays in the prem.

 

I think we and especially Rafa has the know how on how to approach games its just we lack the players to follow his plans and the squad depth to cope with injuries and suspensions.

He's being questioned now. You're on about sacking him.

 

Who would you like to replace him with, out of interest?

So he cant be questioned about some seriously baffling decisions such as the goalkeeper situation and his transfer business, Yes he had pennies to play with but hes wasted them pennies on absolute shite to be fair

 

Manquillo,Murphy,Joselu there is 20m worth of utter shit

 

Im not saying he is totally to blame but you cannot absolve him completely of the way things are at the moment

[Lush Vlad]

What goalkeeper situation? That he wanted a new one, because the ones we have are utter shite? But wasn’t backed so ended up playing a fat mess who can’t get down to shots. Then replaced him due to shit form, with a keeper who appears to play with grease on his gloves. Who has somehow been even worse.

 

Sack him for that alone, TBH.

he had to spend the money on bulking the squad up for the prem, I'm not sure what else he could have done.

 

I'm not saying he is blameless but he hasn't got or has very little to actually work with.

Who else do you think would have a better chance of attracting quality players if not a world class manager such as Rafa? Do you even bother to think these things through?

He's not even been here a season and is a kid. Absolutely ridiculous comment

 

And has actually shown promise since being given some starts.

 

Who would you have spent said pennies on, dean? As I'm sure your sixth and seventh choice targets must be so much better than the sixth and seventh choice targets Rafa had to settle on.

 

EDIT: Fuck off. Why am I even engaging this tablespoon.
