You may see them as very close but I don't, Rafa was clearly the better manager and he didn't takes us to the fringes of the Title challenge, the season we finished runner up under Rafa, we were in the middle of the title challenge, not merely on the fringes as you suggest. This isn't to belittle anything GH achieved but just to say I believe Rafa was the better manager and his inability to take us to the title should only properly be judged against the background of the lack of financial support he received in the last two or three tranfer windows, particularly the one in the summer following us finishing as runners up.
