Disappointed big time if Rafa gets it. As others have said what’s he done lately. Won Europa league with Chelsea with a very good squad. Apart from that what’s he done since left the other shower in 2010?
Game has moved on as well. His style reminds me of Mourinho - he hasn’t adapted and I’m not sure Rafa has. After last season and some turgid games to watch would like to see some better football.
I’d be happy not qualifying for Europe for a few seasons if we had a complete rebuilt and different ethos at the club. We need young players coming through, young players being bought with sell on value and EFC to have an identity of how we play. Then when a manager leaves another one takes over a hopefully we’ll oiled system at the club. Basically use Brands for what he was appointed for.
Mr Moshiri has invested millions and we have a new stadium on horizon because of him so can’t knock him too much. But we’ve wasted a hell of a lot of money since he came. And we’re about to appoint our sixth manager (think it’s six) in five years. Something wrong somewhere.
I’d go for a younger manager not someone like Rafa. He has already divided the fans big time.
As others including Big Nev have said. I’d even give Big Dunc a go if need be.
Haven’t got all the answers and don’t know who is out there as a young upcoming manager but there must be someone. All the ones mentioned to date I’m not impressed with at all.
Sorry long post I’ll shut up now!

{Ed025's Note - you put your point across well jack..

How come when I called out Rafa when the other ed was bigging him up he called me out about my lack of knowledge and used unfavourable language to describe me? Yet lots of very similar posts and he is kmowhere to be seen! Realised that only kopites and Newcastle fans have respect for himso keeping quiet?

{Ed0666's Note - please could you reference said similar posts to yours and if I’ve made a mistake a swift apology will be forthcoming squire.

He does Ed25 but seems to think winning Europa League with a good Squad isn't an achievement. Relegated with a bad Team and an awful owner but brought them straight back up. Positives far outweigh the negatives. He loves Liverpool (as we all do) , he is Loyal, he is an excellent tactician. The fly in the ointment (apart from our fickle supporters) is his seeming reluctance to work with a DoF, if that can be ironed out we are in for a period (at last) of stability, just when we need it.

{Ed025's Note - im not the biggest fan of his style of play BCT thats the only thing that puts me off a bit mate, maybe if he got some decent players in and with a better squad it could work though, if he is appointed he will get my backing100%..
