No it's not the same at all Anita!
You said:
"the denial that he's done anything wrong born from the desire to desperately believe he's this wonderful manager which he isn't".
The fact is every single poster on here knows (and has regularly stated) that Rafa has made plenty of mistakes.
Of course posters who still think that Rafa is the right man to manage us will defend "many" of his actions that are being debated, especially when they have some very valid points.
You in your infinite wisdom may think that Rafa getting the boot is the obvious solution to all of our clubs problems, but believe it or not, not everyone else is so sure.

RPM, I can't *fathom* how people think he's the best man to carry on with the club in the state that it's in. Seriously, I can't. I can't ever remember things being so bad in my lifetime. Things are as bad as they've been for a long long time, and I don't understand how that isn't as unbearable to others as it is to me. The only way we have to turn things around is for Rafa to go.

Well Souness was less than 20 years ago so aren't you the lucky one. Or is it the spoilt one?
Wonderfully dismissive of anyone who doesn't share the same opinion as you too.

Well, I'm nearly as old, John... and I can remember darker days than these.
That seems to be a poor excuse to keep Rafa though.
If you think it's because he can dig us out of the shit-hole he helped fill in, then fair enough.
But if its because 'things could be worse', then I'm just more depressed than ever.
Because I also remember days far, far brighter than what we're living through now.

Where did I say this was a reason to keep Rafa?
