Lots of negative stuff about Rafa

[Shaggy]

It just can't believe it's come to this.

[Kilteragh]

I know one thing though, when we do click into gear again, a lot of people on here best not ****in start singin our praises again all of a sudden.

They're more likely to just go quiet for a while and then come out of the closet at the first sign of a blip

[einar]

Come on people. This takes time.

Rafa is not perfect. But he is still a genius, and one of the very best in the world.

Just remember. Ferguson did not win ANYTHING in the first 4 years and not the league until 6 years. And allot of people wanted to sack him.

Rafa deserves more time, so for me this in not even an issue.

[Dhav]

Rafa should be given this season and the next.
If we aren't seriously challenging for the title by then, then questions can be asked.

The squad this season is a lot better than last. If we don't improve on last season's showing (68 pts is pretty poor if you ask me, but he got away with it because we got to the CL Final) then I think Rafa needs to be accountable. Not suggesting that he should be sacked though but no doubt the board will have qns to ask and he will have to explain himself and the direction he's taking the club.

Rafa Out?

I'm going to bite the bullet.

I love Rafa for winning no.5.

I love him for the F.A Cup.

I love him for the beard.

But.....we are playing ****e football and there is no way we can win the league while playing like that that.

Are we going to win with Rafa?

You want him out yet you have an avatar of him? hmmmm, Mixed signals there mate, don't you think?

[shanklyn]

It just can't believe it's come to this.

Neither can I mate, but for a (relatively) long time now its been coming. Unbeaten yes but you wont win a thing drawing every other game

[Jayesh87]

My patience and faith is close to breaking point, but I love Rafa and so I'm finding the whole thing rather difficult.

To sack him now would be ludicrous, although I can understand people who've made up their mind about him. Give him until May.

If, by then, things are still as bad then................it's got to stop and we'll need to replace him.

I will always, always love him for May 25, 2005.

Shaggy in sensible post shocker

London Rd?

Id ****in love to take a stroll down london road with some of these blerts off here

Then we would also have a better view if his huge youth project is good enough.

I can't believe it's come to the point where LOTS of Reds have turned against Rafa. I never thought I'd see the day.

I can't believe it's come to the point where we're playing such consistently rubbish football.

I can't believe Rafa hasn't nailed it and taken us as far as I thought he would.

WERE NOT EVEN HALF WAY THROUGH THE SEASON

[brightred]

Me nieither,

But we are crap

[Shaggy]

WERE NOT EVEN HALF WAY THROUGH THE SEASON

No need to shout.

I know we're not, but whether we're "not even halfway through the season yet" or not, a lot of Reds have turned. Fact.

There's time to turn it round but the signs aren't good.

I don't want Rafa out, but the tide is turning and it'll take a top effort from Rafa to get us back to playing the sort of football we know we can.

I know you're the eternal optimist but you can't keep defending this. We've got problems. Surely you can acknowledge that.
