Rafa The Man

[Red_hot]

Are you Rashid in disguise?

Me??

So for all those who want Rafa's head on a platter. Who should replace him? I'd expect all the Mourinho bollocks from the same people who hated him at the chavs but apart from him.

I'd want the best man for the job and funnily enough, it's not a popularity or personality contest.

The best man would be JM and he'll be in charge for next season, as far as i'm concerned.

This is what makes me laugh!! Who the **** would we get instead who would win us the league next season? Cos it'd have to be won next season or we'd want to get rid again.

Where do you get this idea from?

Even Rafa's harshest critics on here arent demanding he WINS the title.

We just want a proper challenge.

And Mourinho, in my view, would deliver AT LEAST that.

[Craig_H]

No manager will win us the league as long as he isn't backed to the hilt in the transfer market, no one.

Rafa won't do it, Maureen won't do it, Hiddink won't do it, no one will.

The bottom line is that our manager need to be backed in the transfer market or else it won't be any #19.

He need to have the chance to sign Torres quality all over the pitch if he want that.

Which team has a world class player all over the pitch in every position?

Exactly, mate. The next manager would have to have almost instantaneous success. If we were no better next season then what next? Another new manager, then another, then another, then another etc... What great stability we'll have.

You can't say that for a fact, Syd. No way can you just like I can't say with certainty that we'll definitely challenge under Rafa.

In reference to an earlier post. You seem sure that Mourinho will be in charge next year. Why so and why are you so sure that he's the best candidate for the job?

Chelsea and Man U when everyone is fit.

I did say 'in my view' mate.

Yes i am sure that Mourinho will be our manager next season, based on a combination of a hunch and a couple of different snippets of info i've received (one of which i posted on here).

He's the best candidate simply because he's a born winner, he's totally driven, he has an obscene amount of confidence, to the point where the prospect of failing seems beyond the realms of possibility for him. He gets that same confidence into his players and they perform for him.

Today was as emphatic an example as ever that our current players arent playing for rafa.

No they dont.

And if they did....the funny thing is that ARSENAL are top.

[AFII]

Why bother then? We might as well pack up now.

If you have to spend the most money to win the title then we'll never outspend Chavski so we can never win it.

Some of us still have faith in football and believe that, like Wenger has, you can compete with the best without having to outspend them.

I didn't say spend the most money. I said backed to the hilt. That means buying your first choice targets every time, or at least get the chance to do it every time even if the players costs £15m+.

Then the manager would be able to build his first choice team and not a backup team.

The funny thing is that Arsenal are richer than Man U

and united were top last may when mourinho was in charge of chelsea

[AFII]

I wonder why the richest clubs always finish in the top places now?

Money shouldn't really have anything to do with it, so it must be something else.

It was the same in the 70's and 80's mate.

That's only just happened and they havent been spending the results of this new turnover, so your point isnt really valid.

Mourinho's dominance of the league only went tits up when he had Shevchenko and Ballack thrust into his lap and was forced to use them against his wishes.
