Would people really consider this season a failure if we won the FA Cup and finished 4th?![]()
Why?
Because it makes you sound fickle and that's for supporters of other clubs.
I never thought we would win the league this season but I must admit we have been poorer than I thought but Rafa has to be given to the end of the season I don't think we would gain anything by sacking him.
I can think of plenty managers I wouldn't want if he did go but the list to replace him is pretty short.
I'm more concerned about our owner long term.
I personally agree about waiting until the end of the season.
Fickle or not people will naturally judge him on current form. Played 7 lost 6. Some supporters will also bear in mind that millions have been wasted over the previous five years on duds. Leaving us where we are today. Some may even feel that it has taken Rafa a very long time to adapt to the English league and learn the hard way about his own methodologies. They also may feel that Rafa's five year plan has well and truly expired.
I can see where some of our supporters are coming from.
