That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Nah, don't want Rafa back. Good luck to Rafa and hope he recovers from his illness, but don't want to see him back here.

in business sometimes you have to make deals with people you don't like if it serves mutual interests I guess.
From Rafa's perspective, FSG can't be worse than Ashley. The fans would back Rafa and he's be back home with his family. Even those who aren't keen on Rafa will surely understand that we've tried Kenny, Roy, Rodgers and Klopp.... all messed up (albeit potentially in Klopps case). Rafa is a proven professional. Even if he fails to win at least we would be assured that he's a serious football person who tries to win but also knows how to get results when needed.
From FSGs angle, if Klopp continues with his bizarre approach then FSG may soon need to play their usual trick of replacing the manager to buy another couple of seasons of quiet from fan. What better choice than Rafa? Just explain the working conditions up front and then it's up to Rafa.

Simeone would be a back to square one choice. He'd be another Klopp but in a different way. Yes, his style would be different but you just don't know if it would work.
I'd stick with Klopp rather than Simeone or Pochettino.

Always got love for Rafa, but Klopp will get next season too with Keita coming in. Unless this season is a complete disaster.
I think he knew if we landed VvD/Keita, Coutinho/Can would've been sold to balance the books so maybe he stuck with what he had. He's tried a cheapie before with Klaven, though the Ox was a strange purchase... Maybe he thought Phil would be off, no idea I'm amazed some think FSG would sanction a £200m net spend. Never ever.
People talk about wanting more than top 4 but City and Utd will just buy dream teams now so no point wasting energy.
Pochettino's a great but they're doing worse than us. Wonder if spurs fans have started 'Poch Out' threads?
