What flavour is your window?

 

[OLD_Lewy]

i think we would have been better if rafa didnt leave, having said that it would be stupid to get him back, we need someone who can work with the players we have here, or at least the majority of them, and i dont think the ones we have would suit rafas style

mind you i, like a large number of our fans, have no fucking clue what im talking about hence the fact im twating around doing an english degree and not high up in the EPL pissing off opposition stands and waving my bell end towards the third officials

 

[Fabio]

Haven't a clue thankfully. SCM towers windows must be dead tasty though because i keep finding people properly, full on, licking them sensually.

I've gone through 6 squeedgees this week.

Anyhow, Rafa is the preferred option thus far, with Klopp pretty much right there, and AVB not far behind. Seems like not many people want to find the next Pepe, or Arsene, and want a safer pair of hands?

any managerial appointment is a risk, but someone with som kind of history of signing great players for little cost I would be interested in

thats why i went for klopp

pep came through the ranks, that said I doubt people would warm to the idea of gerrard or carra being in charge.

 

[Insignificance]

Ok. I have made up my mind. I want Del Bosque or Pellegrini. Or Klopp, but he is in the mids of something big.

 

[localny]

I like your rationale. Rafa signed quite a few good players at little cost, but he did also sign a lot of dross (at low cost mainly). I like the "serial transactionist" description - seems to be true (if even because he moved many mistakes on not long after).

Del Bosque, I like that. Think of the players he could bring, que non?

 

[Woland]

If they want to take a chance on the next great footballing mind they could do a lot worse than taking a punt on me.

And by worse I mean they could ask my kids. They're fucking dickheads, haven't got a clue.

Raul is out of contract?? 😀

 

[localny]

And morientes too? 😉

Roffa and Klopp head to head. Suspicion of a hanging chad in Roscos house tonight

VERY LOUD noises about Rafa now

*sinister chuckle*

 

[23carragold]

I voted Andre, in the hope he brings that fit Physio from Chelsea, or club Doctor, whatever she was!!

 

[Skullflower]

VERY LOUD noises about Rafa now

from who? ros?

 

[Richey]

Seriously, Rafa has 12 votes

Are people full on fucking thick?

I think its a bit like when you split up with a partner, and the one you had before that is still around and still interested. Its easy to forget how annoying they were at the time.

 

[Sunny]

from who? ros?

Mind yer own you

 

[Skullflower]

you are such an enigma sunny.

 

[Richey]

I didn't want Kenny to leave, but it can't be changed now.

I want Rafa back.

What we need is some form of consistently good leadership, without having to reinvent football. Kenny could have given us that in spite of the poor results this term. But we didn't want to wait and find out. He made a lot of changes to the team that finished on the up the season before, and there was always a chance that we would encounter some kind of trouble.

I don't want a new manager who comes in and thinks he needs to do a complete revamp of everything from the youth setup to put his stamp on it....that would be another 10 year project. The quickest way to the top is to give the job to the man who was reasonably successful the last time he was doing it and back him.

That's quite extraordinary. You said you want Benitez as manager then went on to give a list of reasons why we shouldn't get him!

The last time he was here he made pretty much all the changes that you said you didn't want, and since then he has claimed that the (then) owners went on to change everything again, plus you have admitted yourself that Kenny made a lot of changes even after that.

So surely if we were to get Benitez back, he would want to make all of those changes again wouldn't he?

 

[Sunny]

Racist

Racist

i'm proud to be a racist. just sayin what everyone else is thinking.

Yeah but when you have ever gone back with a bird you haven't seen for ages after flirting with each other for a bit it's always for that one boss thing she did, and she does it straight away. Whether it's the finger up the arse or getting a load of beak and phoning her mate, you don't have to go through all those months of wondering whether you dare ask.

Doctor, doctor *ahem* club doctor !

I believe.....

No- because as Kenny said recently, the whole youth set up, envy of the PL, was Rafa's initiative. It is his set up.

Also, a lot of these decisions would no longer fall under his purview. and he'd be hired under that understanding.

 

[Mamma Mia]

I voted Rafa. I wasn't sure until today.

Most disagree, but I still feel that he gets this club more than any of the other candidates ever will.

If I can't have the slim chance of seeing Kenny lift another title, I want Rafa to be the one doing it. Until Carra is ready to have a crack.

And y'know what? I think I'd honestly rather see him try and fail than have the likes of Mourinho at this club.

He was hired under that understanding before though. Didn't stop him blaming others and demanding more power later though did it?

And he said himself in one of those many press conferences he did about us when he was someone else's manager, the owners 'changed everything'. So if everything is still in place, what was he on about exactly?

 

[Richey]

And y'know what? I think I'd honestly rather see him try and fail than have the likes of Mourinho at this club.

Seriously? If there was any chance that Mourinho was available and interested then the owners should have got him on the first flight and we shouldn't even bother will all of these threads.
