The moment I heard how the team was lined up I had the feeling that it was going to be a bad result for us. I just don’t get his reasoning and I have tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but it now seems as if the team no longer believe in Rafa and that is a very bad thing. Sorry Rafa but it’s time to go.
As long as the kopites keep blaming the yanks for Rafas mistakes then yes, he is untouchable. Why would he resign when "its not his fault"? And if he does, what happens to the 29 Spanish backroom staff he has assembled underneath him?
I still wouldnt bet my house on them not finishing 4th but fickle kopites should remember that he was a whisker away from the title last year and it wouldnt take much - maybe two decent (but astute - not megabucks) additions to the squad to challenge next season. Your stuck with him for a while yet - get behind him!
