Rafael's appointment was wrong, but it was also wrong to fire him. Benitez talked about him being there to make changes to professionalize the club, and there was a lot internally that we did not know about. However, it takes time. Changes lead to resistance, and it will usually get worse before it gets better.
I'm pretty sure we had avoided relegation with Rafael, and could have started building something. After all, Rafael is an experienced manager and is without a doubt a skilled coach. Although he's not everyone's favorite. Not mine either.
Instead, we hire a rather inexperienced manager, and throw him to the wolves. We roll the dice. That's pretty much what we do as a club. But now it's really time to roll the dice. Lampard is in deep water, and seems helpless. Relegation will be a disaster for the club, and it can take a long time to get back up. . Many of the same players will also play here next year, and the economy will not improve either.
