Yeah, Champs league nearly every year, whopping teams like Real Madrid; and if he *has* improved and learned from his mistakes, maybe he could go that extra mile.
So if Rafa came back..........

Alonso would have become world class under Lawrie Sanchez, that's hardly a reasonable attribute to give to Rafa
if we can't get klopp then rafa is the man.
He started with a champs league squad though. He strengthened with that money. We won't have that money, possibly for several seasons.
And I doubt our current squad could wallop Madrid.
yup. given the options mentioned. rafa wins hands down.
You have to give him some credit.
People are frowning upon managers of premiership clubs because they aren't good enough but want a man who no big club will go near because they know he's a circus act, and whose most recent job (apart from shameless self promotion) was providing technical assistance to Wales.
Keep drinking the kool aid boys.

I dunno man ... And if it hasn't? You're risking a seriously important year on Rafa 'learning' from a 'humbling experience'? That's cares the hell out of me ...
You do realized he caused tremendous damage to Mourinho's Inter powerhouse in less than 6 months, benching a striker Mourinho had made into one of the world's best (Diego Milito)? How will he learn from those mistakes?
did rafa steal your food once, ros?
Playing Crouch and Voronin on the wings ... That was a special night that was. At least we know if he gets the job, Kuyt will be happy.
Wasn't the team Maurinho left behind decimated with injuries during his 6 months with Inter? Tell me more.
I can see why you'd that, and why many would do the opposite ... I wish we had a better option tbh ...
He was good before. Deportivo wasn't it? And he started at real so it's hardly like he was destined to be shit.
Until the better option is declared, I will despair if the 3 premier manager mentioned are actually chosen over Rafa.
torres
gerrard
mash
carra
the spine of the team, all improved under rafa

He was only early twenties. Who were the full backs at the time for Spain? Capdevila? Lopez? Salgado? He was always going to struggle to break into the national squad when making 20 apps for Deportivo

It was blatantly obvious masch and torres would improve in better teams. Gerrard entered his peak years under rafa.
like chelsea?
You mean....torres who wasn't at the peak of his powers for 18 months and wasn't the focus of their attack like he was for us?
torres was 27. you just said gerrard was entering his prime (age wise), well, so was torres.
Yeah, torres should have been at the peak of his powers, but he was moving around like a mardy tart for us and for chelsea. He didn't want to get involved because he's a little bitchy bitch.
