Certainly failure to progress in the CL and improve on last seasons Prem finish Compounded with Rafa's decision to effectively let Owen walk away will certainly raise questions over his managment . I count today as Rafa's first major mistake . Let's face it ,he could have had Owen if he really wanted him ,but he's obviously decided he's not that bothered,for the life of me I still don't know why ,after all our current strike force is showing all the bite of my granny with her teeth out. . Lack of success this season and this weeks events will come back to haunt him . Having said that . you don't throw away a manager who has brought you the biggest trophy in club football during his first season just because he failed to sign a particular player.
good post, you made the same point that i was trying to make but much better
