    Rafa's next job ?

    En route back from China, so a few doors opening up for him.
    Would he return to Newc ? Ashley still there
    Chelsea, still got the fat waiter vibe from the fickle fans, oops too late Tuchel grabbed that one
    Liverpool, if for some reason we keep going backward
    Once a Red,
    you'll never walk alone

    Rafa wouldn't work here now, namely in terms of the league. Two of the reasons we didn't win the league under him, and why we started looking like we could miss out on CL football is because we weren't 'attack minded' enough (causing us to drop too many points against 'smaller' teams) and because he wasn't backed by the cowboys.

    He would now have to compete with teams such as Man City, and we are currently seeing (City have just gone ahead against WBA) what happens if you drop points in just a few games. That would be bad enough, but with FSG in charge he'd possibly have even less to spend, and he'd yet again end up relying on a very small group of players.

    If he sits tight no doubt there will be some decent jobs coming up sooner rather than later. The life of a Premier league manager on average is only about 18 months.

    I'd love to see him here as an assistant to Klopp and general of the youth coaching staff.

    I'm not so sure about that. The competition is stiffer (if from just Man City alone) and we have owners who operate on a 'sell to buy' and 'as cheaply as possible' basis.

    As I keep saying, that for me is one of, if not the main reason why they hired Klopp i.e. being able to be successful without spending much.

    Rafa should have his eye on Dortmund.

    Talking of Rafa,
    15 years ago today Rafa signed Robbie Fowler. Arguably on a personal level, one of the best signing we've ever made. I was watching my kids in a swimming lesson when I got a phone call to tell me he'd signed. I honestly couldn't believe it. I had a tear in my eye when I watched SSN with him signing.
