I have always been know to be stupidly optimistic about the game by my mates over the years, but on here I look positively suicidal compared to some.
This is not about being optimistic or pessimistic, it is about being realistic.
Nessie is right there are too many people who are deluding themselves, and have done so for far too long over the abilities of the manager.
I wa, for decades, a typical old school supporter that if you dressed a pig in a red shirt you would not here a bad word said about it, I stuck with Ged to the bitter bitter end, out of loyalty to the club, but I saw the light over Rafa years ago over his faults, and trust me they are all blindingly obvious.
People have allowed themselves to be kidded for too long with the smoke screen of the owners, Rafa has played on that very cleverly, and not for the first time.

Excellant and 100% accurate.
Realistically speaking we are in the shitter and that is primarily down to Rafa.
