Sorry , but I think there is a lot of bollocks being spouted at the moment.
What is happening is nothing new, he keeps making a pigs ear out of it, and getting out of gaol in the second half of the season, and that is not going to happen this year.
He does not learn from his mistakes, he is stubborn , does not know how to manage players or people, and does not know what his best team is or should be, four basics for a manager at any level. If it were one or two of those four it would be bad enough.
I knew that two years ago, Sheik knew that two years so did Oncey, who , for reasons known only to himself keeps giving him another chance, there are many people who know it.
I liked Rafa, I think he is a decent bloke with his heart in the right place, I am not having a go for the sake of it, I want him to succeed as much as anyone, but he is getting it wrong.
Rafa should get on his knees and pray to God that the Yanks are in place as the mutual loathing for them has diverted the attention away from him.
He will be gone at the end of the season , but it's all going to be a bit late by then.

No need to apologies albeit I think you're mostly dead wrong.
Rafa is stubborn that's indisputable, but it's obvious he knows his best team however. He stopped the vivid rotation a long time ago and would play more or less the same XI week in week out if/when available.
And he does learn something that's for sure, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get the team to perform so splendidly as it did last Season, taking us to a new level of performance almost, would he?
And with regards to your last point, well, according to Torres, Gerrard et all he REALLY does now how to manage players. Maybe there's someone who isn't satisfied with his methods, disagrees even, but at the end of the day the players are constantly backing him up in the medias. It's a bit of myth really all this talk about Rafa not beeing able to manage players and it seems mostly based on a few posters assumptions rather than facts.
And untill I've seen Torres, Carra or Gerrard or someone else important from the squad actually claiming that Rafa can't motivate them, manage them, whatever, I'd stand by him.

The only myth is when people can't see he is about as good a people person as Howard Fucking Hughes.
He is cold and calculating.
Everyone always talk your boss up, I even do it in confidential staff attitude surveys.
Particularly when they are cold calculating single visioned individuals like Rafa
