No, no, no Oncy. He was 'forced' into buying poor players for £20m, had to deal with the horrendous problem of only having £80m to spend in two seasons after selling players he pissed off and completely ignored once he'd decided they were unwanted.
He wasn't stubborn to the point of us losing a European Cup Final because he had to play Dirk Kuyt and couldn't put Peter Crouch on or Craig Bellamy because he was already dead set on them leaving.
We can get close to domestic success just once in 6 years, 5 years more than kenny will have, who many of the Rafa fans are claiming to be a disaster after one season at it.
Bring him back tomorrow, he can find his feet straight away after some time out the game, and get over the fact that he will now have to compete not only with the standard big three, but City, Spurs and Newcastle. We'll have Champions League Football back in no time and we'll be brilliant again in games that you have 180 minutes to win. Our players will be super fresh for the run in after being rested, rotated and wrapped in cotton wool between August and December and we can look forward to five years of ranting, sniping and excuses while we continue to flatter to deceive, play lineups that even confuse the players and we can constantly look like headless chickens when defending setpieces again.
I can't wait to see how Andy Carroll does on the right wing.
