    I find it very strange

    That in a few posters eyes Rafa is a terrible manager

    When you look statistically not many of our past managers have ever achieved a top ten finish. Exceptions being KK and Sir Bobby who were also given shed loads of money to spend over their tenures.

    Pboro said Ardiles had better record than Rafa,funny that I thought we almost got relegated to the old 3rd Division under Ardiles whilst Rafa got us promoted as champions.

    Weird world he lives in.

    I’m talking about managers Mick, Pardew does not fall into that catagory sacked from his last two premier league clubs I believe. I did say not many and included two managers
    in my post
