No he hasn't. He's statistically worse in every possible way. The data is out there, we're bottom of the table in every start. What is it 2 wins in 12 or something **** like that.

He didn't lose Rondon, Rondon was only here on loan.

Bruce chose to sanction the sale of Ayoze, just like he chose to sanction the purchase of Joelinton.

you just moved into a separate debate..

you argued koeman finished 2 places above poch having lost players

right now Bruce is in a higher league position than rafa was last year having lost players .

i assume you see your mistake and that's why you've started arguing other things I've not engaged in?

you all do this tbh ... it's frustrating


Bruce didn't choose anything
 
Bruce also said he has to use Rafas tactics as the squad is so well drilled that they won't play any other way, when he tried to change things, we lost.
 
This notion that Rafa is a boring defensive manager who's out of touch is borderline insane.

He broke every attacking start at Liverpool, Napoli and Real Madrid whilst he was at those clubs.

Have you thought, that he adapts his squad to what he has to work with.

Now I know you are on the wind up!

Your refusal to accept the obvious flaws in Rafa is undermining your arguments. I wouldn't be heartbroken if Rafa came back because I really like the man and the way he connected with the club, but he is far from perfect and one of the complaints at EVERY club he has been at is that he plays too defensive football.

I didn't even consider that worthy a response. Cos he was class at Real Madrid lol...
 
I can't be arsed going back and finding the posts to quote, but on the issue of which manager did best on the least amount of money, surely this is a moot point if this takeover goes through. We will be looking for a manager that has shown he does well spending lots of money, which is a very different skill to doing well without spending money!
