With his accent I think a mexican bandit would be more appropriate

Or whoever their main rivals are (don't know the sport) we could all wave those flags.

As has been said many times before, this type of thing should be discussed behind closed doors, and not flung in the face of moronic journalists

Thing is, how would sacking Rafa be good business sense anyway? Stability = Consistency = Success Getting a new manager in with a different philosophy and wanting time to re-build is hardly good for consistency and achieving the results on the pitch

To change decisions you have to do so before anyone knows they're being made..

Apologies - for some reason I thought he could go in Jan

Cause and effect though - we need players like Masch in order to push for the league / CL etc..

But surely things have already improved during Rafa's reign, by quite a margin. Initially Moores was here and had limited financial backing compared to what's happened with G&H. I don't think we could have bought players in the price range of Torres had Moores still been here, therefore surely Rafa's frustrations should be appeased, even if only a little. It probably depends on whether the spending strategy has now changed, perhaps without Rafa's involvement...but that would be a red flag to a bull anyway..

Indeed. Also we don't know what's already been agreed, and whether things have been changed subsequently either deliberately or unexpectedly (or both)

What if thats what he's trying to do?

The only issue I've got is by digging up all this attention, its not likely to portray a positive image of the club to tempt players to come - which is exactly what he (Rafa) wants.. ...and as Mr Parry seems quiet I can only assume he's softening the atmosphere

He wasn't like this before the beard - told you its the evil Rarfa from a parellel universe... ...and I hope he gets his own way

I'd say the owners sometimes perhaps conduct themselves in a more controlled way, but trust is a different matter

Have to say when I saw the conference yesterday my first thought was that he was taking the p*** to demonstrate the hysterics of the media - will stick with that view
