Football doesn't work like that, christ sake. If it did, anyone on here could be a manager. He also kept worse team's up in his first few seasons.

Jackie Broon Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Isn't this all just coming from Balague, who is notoriously inaccurate and the bits regarding doubts about the vision and Howe are clearly just speculation about what he thinks the issue might be?

Decent journalists supposedly cross-check their stories with different independent sources before running with an exclusive so surely he must have at least verbally agreed to be the next manager, subject to odds and sods being sorted out. He must have been told things that he wanted to hear, the vision and direction doesn't suddenly then become a shitshow during a 48 hour window. Either he's having second thoughts after his chat with Roig, or he's fucking about for improved terms. I'll be gutted if it doesn't happen, but we need someone here who has their heart and soul set on making things a success. Hopefully there is someone who is good enough who falls into that category.

He's not worth it and I wouldn't feel comfortable having someone here in any capacity that didn't jump at it, never seems to work. They've wasted enough time as is without trying to convince him. This. The timing of the takeover has completely caught them out. Fuck.... just go to Everton with open cheque book (are they still a thing?) and get them to sack/release Rafa. This whole thing of manager/director of football chicken before the egg kinda thing. Just hand Rafa the keys to whole kit and caboodle from a football side of things for a few years. He had a plan/vision for the club, might need a wee bit editing since it was last viewed but not much I would imagine. If he wants a DoF let him source one. Giving it to Rafa get's the football side off your desk somewhat and means you can get in about the infrastructure of the club etc. knowing the most important part is in safe hands.

Dr.Spaceman Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Until it's official that he's pulled out he could literally be sitting somewhere with pen in hand about to sign.

Fantail Breeze Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 This does worry me slightly. Staveley and co. clearly need some proper footballing people installed as quickly as possibly. Delays in sacking Bruce have cost us, delays in identifying and recruiting his successor appear to be costing us too. We’re not in a position to piss around. A thorough recruitment campaign is fine, but to not have a single appointment made on the footballing perspective after a month is a car crash.

Stottie Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Rafa must have done a rough blueprint for club development with the consortium, a five year plan or whatever. With Rafa being Rafa, I bet it goes way beyond back of an envelope level. Since we are in a relegation battle thanks to a very porous defence. that has to take precedence now. The only silver lining is that the reserves, academy, training facilities, etc., mostly stuff that is investment in returns that will always come later, can all start now.

A change was needed because he sent them into a downwards spiral after being backed heavily by the club for various seasons... Please explain what makes anyone think he's the guy to come into this shitshow of a defense we have and galvanise/organise the second worst defensive team in the league fast enough to save us from relegation?
