Rafa Watch

[Glenn Hysen]

Rafa deserves it.

[danperkins]

Rafa to West Ham would have been absolutely pathetic. He'll get his shot now, unlimited funds and world class players... back in Spain too. Should be interesting.

[spud_gun]

Would love him back at Liverpool but happy for him that he's getting his chance to manage Real.

Not overly keen on Real but hope he does very well with them.

[Mattimetal]

It would be a great opportunity for him, perhaps the perfect time too given Barca's gruelling season, they cant freshen up the squad in the summer and Messi, Suarez and Neymar are all off to the Copa America aswell!

Suarez is banned for the Copa btw

[EwarWoo]

I still don't want him here, backwards and all that, but love him as a bloke and chuffed to bit for him. Hope he does fantastic.

I'm amazed he's got the gig, I didn't think he was that highly rated outside of us

It seems like a choice between madrid and ****ing west ham

Still, it'll be an impossible job for Rafa I think, Ancelotti is well liked by fans and players. Get the feeling Rafa will be sacrificed in some political move.

[Reece]

Wow, I know Real Madrid are known for being harsh on their managers, but to actually sacrifice one? I really can't see it myself.

I wonder what all the United fans will do with their Ronaldo tops if he does get the job.

[rodo]

only 7% of fans want him on a hiding to nothing there imo

[Shaggy]

Oh dear.

[wiw]

If it does not work out, I am sure they will have no problem paying a few quid to the FA to get Hodgson on board to steady the ship.

...... did we really do that?

[JudgeRed]

Well if anyone can devise a plan to neutralise Messi...

[Roboklopp]

And he has Arbeloa to do so again,.
