Newcastle beating Arse.
Stand by for Rafael shouts.
I dont really understand the angst against Rafael. Hes an excellent coach.
Hes won the CL, Europa Cup abd EUFA Cup.
and he lives on our doorstep.
Hes built a good organised team at Newcastle with very little money and championship players.
He has a wealth of coaching experience in the PL and Europe....and his record speaks for itself.
He enjoys improving and coaching players and given a decent amount of money he certainly would develope players into a very good team.
The recent takeover attempt of Newcastle was only ever going to go ahead if he remained manager.....that was the stipulation and highlighted his importance.
You know what youre going to get with him and he would be available.
I couldnt care less who he managed before.
Nose faces and spite come to mind.
I do realise that it wont happen but I suppose my point is that when big decisions are made you have to do whats best for the club...whether thats hiring or firing managers, players or board members....sentimentality or who someone managed or played for previously shouldnt come into it.
