have valencia got a different board?

Would love to see him back in the game. He looks so much more healthy now compared to his last year with us & his time at Inter. Somewhere foreign though, I don't want to see him in England, cause basically I hate everyone but Liverpool. Would give me a second team somewhere too and a bit of interest in Spanish football, or wherever he goes.

I've this nagging feeling he's gonna go to spurs when Redknapp goes to **** up England. That'd be dreadful. Can't stand spurs, their fans don't deserve him either. Plus they'd be a proper contender for a top four spot.

There was a good interview with him in 442 a few months back. Chatting mainly about us. I can type it out and shove it up when I get time, if that'd be allowed.

I think Poyet will go there instead

Its amazing how another manager couldnt walk in and repair all the 'damage' Rafa did at Inter.

They already look more likely to get that than we do.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday.

If you say so. A week ago, they were relegation contenders going off a few games. Now one game, five games into the season and they're looking more likely for a top four spot. haha

Yep, getting dicked 5-1 at home is a sure indicator of top four quality.

I just read his analysis of the Champions League final on his website. Tremendous stuff, punctuated by references to "Ferguson" - haha

[Chrono]

Likewise suffering our worst result in 8 years is a sure indicator we are going to finish in the top 4. We have had two good results in the league from five games even if it is early days and our last three games we have been utterly ****e, the second half of the Brighton game I decided to answer work emails instead.

[Vermilion]

Part of me wishes he was still here under these honest people we now have running things.

I'm convinced he'd have brought us the title had he been given the chance to work with them.

Hicks and Gillett lead us all down a rotten dead end with their stinking greed and lies, god only knows what it was like to try and plan ahead.

Oh well, must look forward.

[BringbackBiscan]

Kenny will bring us the title. Rafa wouldn't have been able to get us challenging for the title on a £40m net spend this summer either. His 08/09 squad had been long decimated by the previous owners.

The kind of investment we seen this summer, is what we really needed that year to push on. You know the rest.

Losing 5-1 and losing 4-0 are both ****.

One occured at home, the other away, courtesy of having two men sent off.

So if we're picking and choosing, their result would seem worse than ours. Yet, they apparently look more like top four contenders than we do.

Not sure i'm following your logic there.

Rafa..

I am open to any country but the priority is to work in England because of what we have said.

My family is settled there and I would like to take charge of a competitive team in England and be able to win titles.

If it does not turn out that way then we will have to be open to other options in another country, it is something that will have to be evaluated.

But my idea at this stage is not to take charge of a team for three years, earn money, enjoy myself and that’s all.

No, I want to win, I want to win titles, I want to compete for titles and I want to do what I have always done, work very hard to achieve it.

Harry replace Capello, Rafa to Spurs?

Well, they win their game in hand and go two points above us plus their two loses have been against the two top teams in the league.

Both the Manc teams battered them and we lost heavily (not sure the sendings off are a defence).

I'm just a little worried as I'm not sure we are actually that good.
