    Which prem clubs will be looking at him? I bet fat Frank will be looking over his shoulder.
    Or even Newcastle.
    Or even Arsenal!
    Why would he come to the worst country for coronavirus then?

    It's like a second home to him. He still has property on Merseyside. And I am guessing the bubble for premier league is much more comfortable and rigorous than in the Chinese league.

    I think it's a good excuse to be honest, it's not exactly gone well for him in china if you see how his team have been doing, just avodied relegation apparently via a play off however it works in that weird league

    I can't see him going back to Newcastle while Ashley is still there. He wasn't getting the required funds from him so he got out of there.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Thats if you believe the Chinese communist party. Which i do not.. to suggest just over 4000 people died in China is iffy to say the least.

    That's not an intelligent move for Rafa in my eyes.

    He is the assumed "Master" in the "Master v Apprentice" scenario and would be walking into a job where there's work needing done and you feel he very much needs consummate professionalism from his players (whereas a Harry Redknapp/Sam Allardyce type would probably understand the "culture" of that type of dressing room better) and ALL the pressure is on him to be superior to Stevie in the League+Cups, which could fall apart quickly of the Celtic lads didn't take to his methods.

    Think it would be an awful fit.

    I'd love to see Rafa manage in Germany.
