AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I think on balance I'd rather have someone else than go back to Rafa. Would feel very strange to go back to a manager of the past, when we should be building a brand new thing. Obviously he's class and I wouldn't exactly be disappointed.

AJ9 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I get that people want new - but with Rafa I don't see it as going back per se. Given that he wasn't chased out of town like Bruce, it's more of a picking up where you left of kind of thing. I also think that because he knows the squad, what they can offer, and they will remember what was expected of them, it would take less time to get things organised in terms of the first team. He may not be the right man to take us beyond that, but he can certainly lay the foundations. I would take him back in a heartbeat. The man just got us, and deserves a crack at us with some money.

r0cafella Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I think those managers who you could argue are better than him aren’t attainable at present. Although, with that being said Rafa isn’t attainable either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 1. Gattuso (win £500 and that’s more important to me tbh) 2. Fonseca (just like everything I’ve read about him) 3. Rafa (safe option and known quantity) 4. AVB (think he ticks a lot of boxes. Also win £250 if it’s him) I don’t think we have a chance of landing Conte, Ten Hag etc… so no point even going there.

Expand It would be brand new in a way, in that he could actually implement his vision this time, which I think would be good for us. I think it would be a good choice and fit at this moment in time imo, minimal learning curve when he walks in. Personally I'd love to see him given a crack at rebuilding us. Having said that I know pretty much zero about most of the names being thrown about after years of ignoring everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
