I agree and he would be a gamble, but no more of a gamble than Klopp for example.
I love Rafa and if we had any other manager i woul be calling for Rafa to come back but i wouldnt even swap BR for him tbh. Not because i think BR is a better manager but because i think in the big picture it would be better for us to stick with BR and let him continue building us up
Klopp, a gamble? are you shitting me.
You wouldn't trade BR for Rafa because he's apparently building something here? what is he building?
£200 million of new players, yet the only players showing something were bought by the committee 2 years ago, no trophies to show for it, a 7th place finish, a 2nd place finish, currently a 5th place finish, an abysmal European record, takes half a season to get going, in that time he nearly gets the sack, alienates half the squad, uses players as scapegoats when we're performing crap, says cups aren't important, unless we get through to the next round, the academy is a mess, has a tactic of trying to beat the opposition in the first 20 mins, that will only get him so far, teams who park the buss usually end up winning, tactically he's unbelievably naive....
Rafa has one 3rd place finish, currently sat 3rd in the league again, has won the Italian League Cup and FA Cup, is on track to win one of them again, one of the favourites to win the Europa League, has bought some great players, the only thing which is really stopping him is the lack of money. He's currently having to sell to buy. Napoli are desperate to keep him and have already had 2 rounds of interviews for a new contract, which Rafa has refused because he wants a return to the Premier League, he has already turned down offers, e's been widely linked with Valencia, LFC, Newcastle, Man City and PSG. He won't be shy of offers in May and I guarantee we are one of them.
