Rafa Watch

[fidget]

Rafa has been as mediocre as Wenger in the league over the last ten years. Maybe a tad more mediocre. His stint at Napoli and where they finished this season is no one-off.

Its safe to say his 2 league wins at Valencia are as meaningless to the here and now as Wenger's Invincibles.

I'd kill for a bit of mediocre right now.

[Kenneth]

You don't need to. We got in it spades.

[Vermilion]

3 year deal for Rafa.

Presented to the fans on Wednesday.

[Alex]

Confirmed as manager now. Going to be fascinating too see what he does with them. Not much scope to change things.

[Jas]

As much as I hate fake Ronnie and 1 or 2 other Madrid players I would love it if he is super successful. If he is it might even generate a bit of positive press in this country for Rafa but knowing our media they would still look for some sort of negative angle.

[Lee]

Good luck Rafa.

[Rich]

Delighted for him. Ridiculously derided by plenty of our fans. I doubt Madrid will change for him but glad he's finally got the chance to manage them.

G'wan Rafa

[RichC]

Top manager but without winning the league/CL he's going to get the standard 2 years at that club. Good to see him getting his chance at Madrid though, he certainly deserves a shot at it.

[baitman]

hope it all goes well for him. the madrid fans and press can be *******s though, as can some of the snides from the players to the press.
rafa is a stubborn fella, i hope they dont get on his back too early.

[Doc_Piptorious]

Given their relationship, I find it somewhat amusing that Rafa often ends up at clubs where Jose used to be the manager.

Inter, Chelsea, and now Real Madrid.

[Paddy]

I would take ridiculous joy from seeing Utd get to the knockout round and for Rafa to do the damage.

[meffin]

I'd be happier if they didn't get out of the group

[Darkon]

Good luck, hope he does well even if it's a club I really dislike.

He's defo up against some task with the current Barca team as competition.
