Rafa would be a smart stop gap for them or the usual Gus Hiddink but I'd prefer they persevere with lampard until he cements a bottom half finish for them. Nor do I, there ain’t none there and probably won’t be until next season, in which time Rafa could turn them round and start building something. By the time the fans return he’ll either be hero or zero, but either way, it won’t matter. Edited 23 January 2021 by yorkie1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 23 January 2021 Share Posted 23 January 2021 I hear Arsenal want Nuno or Bielsa. Can’t see Rafa at either Wolves or Leeds. Frank has a couple of games max before he gets the bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTY_FOX Posted 23 January 2021 Share Posted 23 January 2021 (edited) Credit to David Moyes. Loads of their fans moaning how they'll have 0 points in November and theyre certain for relegation and he has them 2 points off 4th.

The Bear Posted 23 January 2021 Share Posted 23 January 2021 (edited) Not really. Pre-Nuno, Julen Lopetegui agreed to manage us before he got the call for the Spain job. * and yes I realise it was a joke.

Hoopla10 Posted 23 January 2021 Share Posted 23 January 2021 Surprised I haven't heard a lot of chatter from pundits that seemingly love stirring it up suggesting Chelsea should hire BR. Last season while we were doing well he was linked with Arsenal and I think ManU. Rafa I'm sure is looking for an English club but there's no chance he'd take NUFC. He knows Ashley can't be trusted to provide proper funds so it's a no win situation. Besides Bruce is a good yes man, he never diverts blame at Ashley even though everybody knows where the club's problems lie. Surprised @The Bearwouldn't think Rafa would go to Wolves, or that Wolves would want him. Is there anything behind that? Seems like a good fit. Not that I think they need to change managers yet.

I think they would be silly to get rid of him. They must have bought him in with the idea that he was new to management and is going to get better. If they bought him in to be anything but a long term project then they are a big silly goose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 23 January 2021 Share Posted 23 January 2021 "Bonus" game this evening then Second game in a row Bruce has been able to play "The way he's wanted to"... 8 changes on the first occasion and made 4 changes tonight... so not entirely sure what the **** that means ASM on the bench might be the saviour in this one but can only see a comfortable home win personally, especially given Villa looked great against Man City until that weird goal.
