    Quick question

    Who on here would turn down a job for 12m a year?I would hitchhike to China or anywhere else for that money.Poor Rafa getting stick for doing just that and working for a man and team that has a 61000 stadium and is building a 230m quid training complex,the club has a higher transfer record than us and going on the fact their new training facilities will be 2/3 the value of our club it's not really a backward step is it.If the club was in Spain or Italy or France it wouldn't be up for discussion.

    You would be a fool to not keep your options open
    Our club offered him a one year extension!!!
    So he started looking at other options
    Simple as
    They wanted him more than us

    It all boils down to the fact that Ashley is a cretin and nothing more.

    Don't blame him in the slightest.

    We didn't want him..not really. The club are lying when they say they did.

    Look at that example he gave, man....there were plans in place to develop our training centre....and we painted the walls after 3 years????

    Then penfold comes out and says the facilities haven't put any players off?

    Fok off, man...

    No need to answer really. Only mackems and wums would say anything other than its a no brainer.

    Fat Ash was given the chance to convince him to stay...he didn't and even let the world know Rafa was not going to get another offer and was out the door before telling the man himself.

    Just like anybody...if it looks like your job is going to end or you are not happy then you start looking around.

    Good luck to him, wish him all the best.
