Isn't it more down to Barcelona and their style of play, which has been mirrored in this Spanish side that has helped them be so successful.

Some would argue that he pioneered that kind of pressing game.

I know.

Loved/love Rafa but the lengths some of his fan boys go to to paint him as just about as good as it gets as far as coaches go verges on the ridiculous far too often.

In Rafa's Q&A on The Independent site, he seems to be agreeing with Bronto's comment about the impact of the weather on the different styles of Spanish and English football.




Rafa out. Obviously.

On shortlist with Capello, Guardolia, Redknapp and a few others for Russian job.

IIRC it was something that Vialli and Marcotti suggested ages ago. They had/have a theory that training in wet/windy conditions prevents close control drills working well. They also criticised the open field setup at Melwood as instigated by Houllier.

There's an opening in Portland, Oregon. He'd be more than welcome here.

IIRC it originated (even further back) with Capello after he'd watched or been involved with a training session in Scotland.

Should be all over the Forest job if the new owners put some money in. Pretty embarrassing but if he really does want a top job in this country he's gonna have to do some good work at a **** team first.
