Rafa Watch

[Shanks]

Neither really.

I suppose you're going to say how there is no value on buying players in Jan.. etc etc

Lets just say, for posting sake...

Hypothetically posting..

You have 30 Mill to give Brendan and Rafa in January..

Who would you trust and who would get the better value for money..? Wages included..

It would all depend on which positions they need to fill and how many players each manager needed to buy with 30 mil. We need at least 3-4 Players so would be Looking at a different quality of player than what Rafa requires

And the current European champions with a multiple title winning coach at the helm would likely be able to attract a better quality of player then we could right now

With higher wages..

The point being... I would trust Brendan to spend that money and get better value than I would with Rafa at the moment..

I'm sure Roman will give him funds in Jan in the same way FSG will give Brendan...

I don't think he'll be given any money, they have enough players.

Partly. And I wouldn't really trust Rafa, and I Brendan hasn't got much of a track record yet.

I see no reason to trust Bren over anyone yet.

He's made 3 signings so far, two for reasonable fees and none of whom have been here long enough or been good enough to say how much value they'll ultimately provide.

Value is relative anyway. 80m on Ronaldo was huge but who could argue they didn't get value for money?

Rafa's wife is a classy lady. Almost as class as Marina Dalglish

Thanks everybody for your kind words of support, except Tee you can go **** yourself upside down on Christmas tree

Which personally I think is a little bit of an overreaction
