Bill must be made up. Rafas press conferences are going to be like the Christmas episodes of Corrie.

He’s apparently begging Moshiri to bring back Martinez.

I’d take him back over Benitez. Well be playing like we did under fat Sam and Carlo (second half of the season)

More than happy to give Rafa a chance and support him. Above all else I think he's a decent fella. I would be thoroughly p off if we brought Martinez back he was absolutely woeful, worst of the lot we have had since Moyes imo.

I think he's a decent fellow too but that ranks fairly low in my decision making tree for manager

I also couldn't care less about the small club banter. Funnily enough it's never kept me awake at night tossing and turning and cursing him in my sleep

I just think the position is at least 5 years too late for him.

{Ed001's Note - you might be right on that, only time will tell. I would like to think that experience would have improved him and that he has learnt lessons he can take with him.}

Hopefully Ed but there's a time when all of us are too old to do the job

Whether it's because the knowledge required for the job has moved on, whether we are physically unable to compete at the top or whether we are too 'comfortable' that the hunger is no longer there?

It differs with everyone.

I honestly hope I am wrong as its my club we are talking about but I think it's 5 years too late. Please let me be wrong - please please please.
