Have you lost faith in Rafa as manager?

[Rashid]

That's a vey good point Stu but the Kudos of him winning it would buy him more time to try and crack the Premiership. It is like in any job, do one job well get opportunities in doing other jobs/areas. I'd also say Ancellotti comes close to him in Europe too....

[Thants]

Rebel23, after the Premiership debacle of Directors of Football this season do you still wish us to have one?

*this isnt a bump for views of rafa, just DoF*

[redrosetints]

Sack Rafa.

 

Rafa out.

 

He can't stay, at this rate we'll win the league and then you'll have nothing to moan about........ Forums will cease, noone will moan, poeple will rejoice, Rafa must go before we win the league.

[Guest PaddyBerger15]

He's fucking shit that Rafa, we should have sacked him and got some bald cunt who knows fuck all about football in to buy players and then let some other cunt who has never managed before coach them and that. Its the way forward.

The beauty of public polls.

[hamstrung]

Some depressing, negative shite.

 

You haven't been on since July, but if/when you do you may notice that your one green is now 2 reds.

 

Dead hard, me.

[dennis tooth]

I really hate the 'I would support Rafa if/when X,Y or Z' brigade.

 

Get behind him you shit house cunts or condemn him don't friggin sit there waiting for the bandwagon to roll in before nailing your colours to the mast.

[philyhamann]

Why would you bump this? Some people are really fucking petty. What if we end up finishing fourth again, would it be ok to bump it then and shout "haha rafa failed im dead boss me".

[Guest TK-421]

I had the first sneaking suspicions of doubt over Rafa when we crashed out of the FA Cup last season. However I remember saying at the time that it would only take one great performance against Inter to turn it around. Since then we've seen the real Liverpool and I think Rafa should be rewarded with a new contract based upon performances since February.

[philyhamann]

I would still leave it to the end of the season before offering a contract. Some of our fans are going over board like we've already won the league. Again. I'm made up, but at the end of it, it is three points only and we're only at the end of October. The same thing happened a few seasons ago when we crashed in November, but we've beaten Man Ure/Chelsea we just need to keep ahead of them until after Christmas which is the most vital part.

I respect that view as well but if it were up to me I'd get him signed up.

Let the thread die, and I am probably one of Rafa's biggest supporters here.

[zigackly]

It's important not to let a couple of games affect your overall feelings about the manager or an individual player, and I would say that's as true now as it was last February. Shit thread, inadvisable bumping of it as well.

[Code]

I`m not sure why this thread is bumped at all.

 

If its not because someone`s trying to be a smart arse but because he wants an answer if a DOF is a good idea or not I`m not sure the answer is as obvious as the one bumping the thread thinks it is.

 

Whats been the main stories this summer then apart from Rafa trying to flog our best player by some distance this season to make way for Barry and then using £20mill on a striker who has not scored in the league yet?

 

Not exactly superb arguments for not going with the DOF model is it? :ermm:

 

I answered NO by the way.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

I have read this thread from start to end, I have been the pub all day and I miss rash, if you engaged in a debate without calling him 'whatever the fuck you wanted' it would be ok.

 

Rafa is the man to build our future on, plain and simple.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Sorry guys.
