Look at the players he was allowed to bring in and sign, and the money he had as opposed to Rafa.

Never rated Rafa either so they have that in common :)
You’d be hard pushed to find two bigger opposites as football managers or personalities. Chalk and cheese.

Lets not forget.. he got us relegated
He only got us relegated because Fatso wouldn't give him the backing he gave Bruce.Quote:
