I'm talking about managers who before taking these clubs over hadn't had success elsewhere but took on clubs which had previously been mediocre knowing they were going somewhere with them and convinced of their future success.
Matt Busby at Manchester United
Bill Shankly at Liverpool
Don Revie at Leeds
Brian Clough at Nottingham Forest
Brian Clough at Derby
Rafa is different and has had significant success before he reached us, so he has had the experience that the four above had to learn on the job.
Now before Rafa came here we had been in our past far more successful than every single one those five clubs above before their saviors arrived. I think if Rafa gets a fair deal from Ashley or which ever owner we finish up with if he sells, then we have a better chance to eventually build a team and a club to rejoin the elite.
