Ok so this may be all conspiracy theory but: AVB has only been in the job for 5 mins. Sacking him now would just be bad press. However, he does seem to need some asistance - even with only the blood-letting that has to be done in the Summer. Hence bring Rafa in as a consultant (Dir. of Football if you like) who can assit with the long term planning, stand as a barrier between the manager and those players who have an 'alternative view', let AVB get on with coaching/team selection. Stranger things have happened at sea! One thing I do know is that if Rafa took any position at Chelsea he would do the job professionally.
What's wight wif Wafa ?? Bad haircut, big belly, too much paella, laughing stock, many years since he achieved anything, like our players. Get the best out of Towwes ??? Only a creative midfielder could do that, and that's NOT Wafa. He is a ranker, but not even a top ranker.
