Cant argue with you about Rafa's personality really Mick.. dont know enough about him to argue the points your making... Havent seen enough of the 'has the club's best interest in heart' part... not with the Keane treatment, not with the Kuyt contract talks, and deffo not with his stubbornness when it comes to other footballing matters that obviously didnt work and cost us in the league yet and again...
As to 'trsusting' him... dont think he's earned that yet... not for me anyways... the fact that he's somehow managed to fck things up season after season ever since he took over (last season included despite the good end to the season) leaves very little trust in me when it comes to Rafa finally managing to do the right thing throughout the course of an entire season and in the transfer market...
Its not all bad though... i think hes a very good coach and is tactically better than anything there is in the English league atm.. Dont think he quite understands how things are done in England though compared to Spain... the whole Ferguson thing was a shambles, not going for games that are there for the taking, not setting the team up right against some of the smaller sides...etc.... You probably think that its all good now after our recent displays Mick, which is fair enough.... From our recent displays it seems like he's starting to understand things better and doing things the way we've been calling for them to be done for a long time now... we'll wait and see but i cant really say im as optimistic about the extent of change as you are...
