Re: Rijkaard Sacked.
Rijkaard will bounce back and get another job elsewhere. I suspect then we will see his true mettle. It's hard to judge how good his is/isn't given the resources at his disposal at Barca.

As for what any of this has to do with Rafa is anyone's guess! I'm glad we have our manager and the sniping/comparison is immaterial. If we do like comparing, let us compare with Martin Jol's Tottenham. They were a very good Prem outfit, with two 5th place finishes under their belts. Cue board interference, and see the whole thing fall apart.

Rafa had us coming in third for the past two seasons. Cue board interference and we finish fourth with a CL semi final thrown in.

Who knows how things might have regressed should Rafa (quite justifiably) decided to go elsewhere earlier in the season when his bosses proved to be incompetent?

I'm glad we have our man, and even though I wavered earlier in the season (and shame on me for jumping the gun) I am 100% behind Rafa and eager to see what next season brings.
