I find it a little disturbing how hypocritical people are. It's astonishing.

Lets look at the facts:

Barcelona had not won a trophy since 1999 when Rijkaard took over. He has won 2 La Liga titles and 1 Champions League in 4 years. For those who speak about spending money, he hasn't spent as much in comparison to Chelsea, United, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Real Madrid. So why is it that a manager with that level of success at a stagnating club when he took over be sacked and people on here say "he hasn't done well, he needed to go"... even this season of utter turmoil he has had a season similar to ours. So either their standards are higher than ours, or our fans are more patient - but it can't be the latter as many of you are saying Rijkaard should go.

Ian Sea - how can you have a go at his team for going backwards? He won La Liga and the CL - how does he go forward? A period like that is sometimes followed by some years of decline due to complacency. We won the CL in 2005 but not a sniff of the league and no CL since then - have we gone backwards? In fact we have gone from 5th to 3rd twice and now 4th - have we gone backwards? The logic is pathetic and immature not to mention totally two faced.

A little consistency wouldn't go a miss, which makes me think that people on here just chat the shit they chat to try and fit in with the mob when it comes to our own club. He has played good football - Tick, He has bought through young players - Tick, He has won the league Tick, He has won the CL - Tick, He has spent less than his rival in Madrid, Manchester, Chelsea etc - Tick... but he is a shite manager? Right, please give me the logic in that cos I don't get it.

As for those having a go at him because he moans about long ball teams - where are you lot hiding when Rafa moans non stop about Bolton?

The hypocrisy as not even a joke anymore... wake up and grow up or have some balls to speak your mind.
