The New Manager Thread

[Guest]

And he isn't worth 3 times more than Rafa, so it's never going to happen.

[Craig_H]

of course it wouldnt.

for us to pay what mourinho earns net now we would have to pay three times what rafa earns

so its not an issue in our great financial state

Mourinho doesnt earn three times what Rafa earns, not in terms of basic salary anyway. Endorsement and sponsorship, maybe, but not basic.

Did you negociate his salary?

[Craig_H]

Did you? *yawn*

This boring mate, let's just agree to disagree.

Yeah but I'm just correcting you on something factual, which you haven't got a clue on in the first and on which you're speculating.

So why didnt you also correct Marsh on something factual, which he hasnt got a clue on in the first and on which he is speculating?

To swerve and deflect, its the CraigH way

If you think we will be able to replace Rafa with anyone who is A. better and B. Able to make us more successful, you are at best deluded or at worst plain stupid.

Just to end the argument:

Rafa: 4 million a season according to this

Mourinho: 13.9 million a season according to this:

WTF? How the hell can you make such a statement? You have nothing to back it up with. Its totally subjective. No one knows what any other manager could do at our club given the same resources apart from of course the current man at the helm, Mr Benitez. We have the evidence of his success with our very own eyes.

Its fine having the view that Rafa is the best man for the job but its bollocks to knock others for thinking/hoping someone else could do a better job. Let us not forget those that wanted Houllier to stay on forever, yet they were quick to take to Rafa once the CL came home.

[BigChief]

Exactly. Change scares people. Status quo is safe and steady.

Unfortunately, steady for us is 20 years without a league title and more to come. 5 years under Houllier and 6 under Rafa...let's not fix what's not broke.

Guillem: There`s more work with the ball here and less physical work than in England?


Arbeloa: Here, maybe the ball-work does dominate more than in England, where teams are very well prepared physically. But then with Rafa we did a lot of tactical work. While here, we enjoy ourselves with the ball a bit more.

Somtimes I wais Rafa would give our players a little more freedom, I think it would improve the team no end.

Wouldn't say that five managers over that 20 years is exactly status quo
