Marko - Can I ask - Like Rafa would you think another manager would need more then £50 million to turn this situation around?
Well RedBalls, that is a very good question, and my answer would be...... No. Am sure we could of made a top 4 place easily and made more of a cup run in the domestic cups this season even with this squad of players and the injuries we incurred. I really do think that if Rafa was more positive in his approach to matches, had better man mangement of his players, played players in there correct positions, and basically went at teams and made them think of how to stop us instead of Rafa concentrating on stopping the opposition we would have made this season more successful. A mixture of negative tactics, players out of position and rubbish lineups have been our downfall.
Give another manager a chance and i feel he would get the best out of what we have got, and also throw in £50 million to get a couple of world class players, plus get rid of the usual suspects to make more money for the transfer budget and give the youth a chance, and we would get back into the top 4 and challenge. Then we build on it again the season after.
