Maybe he still believes he can turn things around and that he's the right man for the job. I don't think you get to where he is in life without unwavering self-belief.
Either way, I wouldn't expect him to walk away from the contract that was given to him and I don't think it reflects on him poorly as a person as some seem to. If he'd have turned down the offer and fucked off last season, most would think he'd betrayed us, so after signing a contract to sign on, there is nothing wrong with expecting that to be honoured. Just as we would if things were different.

Good post, largely agree, though there is a difference between unwavering self-belief and sheer pigheadedness, a line which I'm afraid Rafa seems to cross at times.

True. I'd still have great admiration for him if he quit now though.
As it is, my admiration for his unwavering self-belief is wearing ever thinner with each defeat.
