Opinions mate..... you have yours and I have mine.
Of course Rafa is the best manager since Kenny.... Good, but still not good enough.... Kenny was the last one to bring home the premiership.... I have no wish to mire in mediocrity.... we've done that long enough....
That's why I still hold the torch for his return...... failing that, I've long advocated Hiddink as well.
Let's see what happens in the summer. I pray that it's a good one and we push on from this season's effort. Not much time left.
Utd are perilously close to eclipsing our mantle as the best club in England (records wise). Ferguson is close to achieving his stated ambition of knocking us of our perch. Our captain and talisman is in his prime and will, in all likelihood, start his journey down the other side of the hill in a season or two. Carra has already started his journey. And we've choked on the best chance we've had in years of winning the premiership due to negative tactics, rotation, poor buys, injuries, bad luck, zonal marking or any number of other excuses/reasons we can come up with..... And we want to persist with the man who acts the goat in the press and, in recent times, behaves in exactly the same way that the whiskey nosed one has been doing in the past (much to our disgust).... losing the dignity of the club along the way?
I certainly don't. As far as I'm concerned.... we should have been rid of him at the end of this season. Seeing as we can't now, due the ridiculous cost of giving him a golden handshake, we'll have to see how this all pans out. Evaluate at the end of the season yet again.....
I'll tell you now..... my patience has all but run out with Rafa.
good post... probably earned himself another season given how far we've come this season but i think that next season could very well be his last unless we go out and buy the right players this summer and approach next season's fixtures (especially against the smaller sides) in a more positive manner... despite what we've seen in the last couple of months or so im still not convinced that Rafa has it in him to change his ways so drastically over the course of an entire season... lets face it, thats what he needs to do and thats pretty much what hes failed to realize or agree to ever since he's been here...
