I liked Rafa and I do think he's a good quality manager, but as I've said in the past for me his wage alone (which was up there with champs league managers) should of warranted us better league finishes. His treatment of certain senior players he didn't want was always the real sh1tter for me though, I just didn't like how he had a few lads been here years pushed out completely to the point of training with the young lads. I also think under our obvious structure which yeah it's sh1t but he new what he had to work with, we were always linked with (Rafa's number 1 target) they were always names he surely must of known we had no chance of signing. Then we sign someone it SOMEHOW gets out it was Rafa's fourth choice so we then all feel sorry for him and kick off. Imagine how some of them must of felt coming knowing they wasn't who he even wanted. That's not the way to go about things imo and one of the reasons we never really did that well under him.
Sorry, I'm not buying that at all.



The whole Rafa vs Bruce has gone on too long. It has become a stupid argument and it's been used by both "sides." We shouldn't really have two sides...

People are bringing up Rafa in defence of Bruce just as much as they are to slate him..he then has to mentioned in the defence...around and around...
