  3. I am prepared to give the club a chance if they get this appointment “over the line.”

  4. The reason I am still only at 45% is because Rafa hasn’t met our esteemed board yet. He might change his mind sharpish!

  6. Sorry BB I used to have hope and faith etc but the last several yrs of this regime has knocked ot all out of me.
    But if we do get Rafa I can honestly say it will restore a lot of hope back for me, I would say it would be as high as when Jabba signed KK

  11. The question is, will Rafa have enough time to work his magic and keep us in the Premier League?.

    I’m generally very optimistic, but I worry about just how deep has the rot set in for this group of players?.

    He’s without doubt the right man, but is this task beyond Rafa himself?.

    I’m not being negative, just realistic. It took Hiddick and Klopp time when they first arrived.

    I agree with Stu, 4 wins should be enough, but can he hit the ground running?.
