    Oh yeah I know. I meant if Ashley had given the money he promised, we could have signed some good players and would probably be playing in European cups by now and attracting bigger names.

    A lot of players that Rafa wanted have stepped up a level such as Abraham, Plea, Praet.

    They haven't been appointed though.

    Where are the job offer links?

    Strange I get a reply a minute after I point out bots

    You said rafa facts hasn't said anything yet they posted a link yesterday to I think 90min regarding rafa being offered the job.

    There are dozens of other posts linking Rafa. Heck even Sky Bet are now promoting us and Rafa.

    Let's wait and see the flurry of bets being laid in the next few days.

    I liked Rafa when he was here but I don't think he's the answer going forward. I hope we can be a bit more ambitious!

    Dozens yet you still don't post any links?

    You've started mentioning @rafafacts once I mention them.

    There are literally thousands of options. Managers/coaches who are out of work or ones who would welcome a new challenge. Fortunately the list doesn't have to be restricted to people we can think about on a football forum.

    Indeed. I think it will be Rafa because he’s safe. But a more sensible approach from the new owners may be to bring in a decent board and for them to discuss options and interview to get the best man for the job, then for us fans to welcome the new setup even if it’s not what we think or want.

    I'm not a bot.

    I gave you 3 examples in Rafa facts, 90min and Sky Bet.

    I understand people thinking he is safe because he has been here before, but is he really that safe? Is he the safest option to go out and spend millions? I like Rafa, but at the same time we shouldn't get carried away and think he is some sort of God for keeping us up. He was far from perfect, and his transfer record isn't great.

    His transfer record is very good when he isn't penny pinching and scraping the barrel.

    I'm not sure Liverpool fans would agree with that. They certainly didn't when he was there. They love him every bit as much as we do, but they still recognise he wasn't the best in the transfer market.

    I missed the beginning of this conversation you're having with DPP, so don't want to get too involved, but most of the sources you have just listed are sites/accounts that repeat rumours rather than invvestigative journalists.

    Don't get me wrong, if we do end up with Rafa I will be 100% behind him. If the new owners decided to stick with Bruce I'd be 100% behind him too. If they bring in someone we haven't even considered I will also be totally behind him. I just don't think Rafa is anywhere near the best option - not even close.
