Is it fair to expect Rafa to win the PL?

alias75 · May 27, 2008

Yes as fans we all want to win number 19 and a lot of people are saying Rafa is failing by not winning the PL, but is he?

Hes up against Man Utd a team that has been managed by the same man for over 20 years, whose had time to build a squad of his players and has more money at his disposal to cherry pick those top players to come in when people need replacing.

You have Chelsea a club that have spent £100's of millions in the last 5 years and have almost a limitless amount of money they can throw at players when they need to.

And theres Arsenal who are managed by Wenger whose been at the club for a long time had time to build the team how he wants it, and had time to implement his ideas into the youth setup (Rafa's finished above him twice in the league anyway)

So the question should not be why aren't we winning the league, because the competition is very tough and actually compared to the teams above us especially Man Utd and Chelsea we're at a financial disadvantage. The question should be are we improving as a team and i think the answer to that is a clear yes.

If DIC takeover and give Rafa plenty of money then fair enough winning the title should be the benchmark to be judged on, but at the moment in the current circumstances whether we like it or not we should not expect to win the PL because at best we're the 3rd best placed team to do so.
