If Man u equal our record next season...

The walters step over · May 16, 2008

And we do the usual of realistically being out of the title race by December - Would you be in favour of Rafa stepping down and letting someone else have a go? And if not, how long will you accept the cycle of good run in Europe balanced with 3/4 position in the league?*

Personally, I know it is only speculation but if we were to buy Milner and Barry this summer then to me we'll have no chance in the league because Rafa still won't have learned that having good workers that can fill a couple of positions when needed isn't as good as pooling the transfer funds and buying the 2 players that could make a difference going forward.

If Rafa's plan really is to have a front six of Masch, Alonso, Barry, Kuyt, Gerrard and Torres with Milner and Babel as cover then imo we might as well give up any hope of a serious challenge before we even start.

* and no, before everyone jumps on this from a great height, I don't have alternatives as to who would take Rafa's place - that doesn't mean however that I can't state the case for the prosecution when I can see our record as the most successful team in England equalled whilst we're happily chuging along in 3rd/4th.
