Yeh Vish, of whom Raffa's analysis of the club panned out to be bang on. He warned the president at the time they needed to rebuild the team with a young squad they heeded none of his advice and are now a train wreck of a club going through more managers than I care to count.
However, it sounds like the change at Real was not particularly liked by fans or players so it will be any excuse there I fear to be going at the manager hell for leather from day 1. Not quite like Chelsea but prbably not much in it.
He'll have to really come out the blocks with everyone firing.

lol..rafa can do no wrong. warns the club he is going to do crap..thats funny. mourinho didn't warn anybody ,he just won stuff Mourinho took over Inter which had won 3 Serie A's in a row. He spent 45 million in his first season and 90 million in his 2nd season. Rafa was expected to win everything with no money available to him, the squad was ageing and on the decline, hence why Mourinho got out of there fast. Quaresma was sold under Rafa's nose, Rafa was selling to buy and then they decided not to give Rafa the money from the player sales inc. 30 mil from the sale of Balotelli. He made it clear to them that they had to invest in youth. Apart from Eto'o, the team was dog [oops], but even still he managed to win the Italian Super Cup, the Club World Championship and had them qualify for the Knockout in the Champions League before he left. They've had 7 different managers since and have descended down the table. Perhaps Rafa wasn't the problem afterall, perhaps he was absolutely right and they didn't listen to him. Real Madrid is a whole different situation, he's taking over a club which has money to burn, he knows inside out, is good friends with the president, speaks in his native tongue.

Rafa is a good cup competition manager being an expert at not conceding. Winning leagues is more complicated for him because he draws too many games. That said, I would love him to succeed, though, IMO, Barca will win the league next season.

De gea, pogba and sterling all linked with them now.
Rumours are that we made an offer on a Madrid player and Rafa told Perez to block the move.

They've had 7 managers since.... 7 and it was all Raffa. None have turned it round and they have fallen like a rock. Spice has sunk your boat on that one mate, nothing more to say.

Rafa ha hit back on claims that his tactics are always too defensive, Napoli broke their goal scoring record last season with 104 goals and have scored 102 goals this season, Chelsea also had an average of 2.04 goals per game when Rafa was in charge, 3 of rafas seasons with LFC ended in over 100 goals scored.
