    I'm not dissing Howe, he will get us there eventually but we need instant points - this would have been the perfect fit.

    ...and no matter what anyone says we played good stuff towards the end of his last stay.
    That's my feelings too about Rafa.

    I would love to see him come here and work as D.o.F. in tandem with Eddie Howe.

    I think Rafa would jump at the chance to return and with his defensive knowledge linked to Eddies attacking instinct they would be a formidable force.

    I also think the two of them working together would jump us out of the relegation end of the table double-quick.

    That’s a great idea.

    We did not win any of the first 10 games when we were promoted under Rafa, the season turned out ok.

    All I know is that when he was here, Rafa brought in Rondon.

    Did a deal at West Brom.
