he wasnt exactly bring us forward to go back. he drained players indiviudal talent, confidence, and ambition.
i urge everyone : DONT BELIEVE A WORD RAFFA SAYS!!!
he is a fantastic wordsmith, and a stubborn and skilled manipulator. but the fact remains, he won a CL trophy by the skin of his balls with someone elses squad, and an fa cup by a one in a million strike from a cramped up midfielder. outside of that he promoted anti football, and the more control he got of the club, the worse we got. he is in no position to criticise because he failed. i'll say it again, he failed. he had control just like he wanted and he failed so he started to make ludicrous transfer demands to cover it up. he is a liar. never ever forget it and dont be fooled by the silver tongue.
purslow got the rot out of that club, and included raffa.
I think you have forgotten where we were before he came here;
Pre Rafa a point against the likes of manure,chelsea,arsenal was the best we could have hoped for and the everton derbies were always tough,yet by the time he reached the pinnacle of his reign we were expecting at least 4 points off the other top 3 and 6 points off the toffees,and all this in the midst of a blood thirsty media and boardroom storms.On top of that we went from uefa cup mediocracy to being the number 1 club side in europe in a matter of seasons,or was that down to houllier?As for cecil getting rid of the rot?who put hodgson in charge,what on earth could he have seen on his cv that would have told him that roy could take up the reigns and take us to a higher level?How you can call him a failure and a liar is comedy genius at its best.
