Rafael and the small club comment

[MrGrumpy]

So people are saying they won’t have Rafael because of his “small club” comment a long time ago.
Let me ask you this, when did this club last actually act like the big club it is?
Martinez- Relegated
Koeman - won nowt came from Southampton
Allardyce- need I say more
Silva- relegated

build a new stadium that’s 2 small

 

[Lelouch]

no, I don't want Rafael because he's managed Liverpool.
Simple.

Couldn't care less about the small club stuff, just think he is very very overrated. Excellent self publicist currently being outperformed by steve bruce

this in a nutshell

a massively overrated balloon

 

[Davidoff]

His career is spiralling down, that's why we shouldn't go near him

 

[blue to the bone]

He had done nothing in the last 10 years to suggest he is still a top manager.
No matter what he said

 

[cronullasharks]

Pretty much everything that's been said in this thread already.

Fat kopite

If somebody came along and called me an idiot it registers zero emotional response from me because I know I am not one. The accuser must therefore be wrong and I pity those who are often wrong.

If anyone calls everton a small club then they reveal that they have no in depth or historical knowledge of football and I pity them in the same way.

Hatred isn't the answer.

If Benitez has since learned and grown up a bit I would consider him - so long as he said something derogatory which was truthfully and factually correct about the rs. That shouldn't be too hard.

This + the comment
Steve Bruce is doing what his supporters raved about at Newcastle...quickly glossing over the fact he took them down
Would you want Steve Bruce?
No !
Nor rs Rafael.

Is this the Moyes thread?

 

[okellypj]

He made the comments ten years ago. We haven't won a trophy since (or the ten years before).

This. A perfect fit for West Ham, as it’ll cause another meltdown on here yet they’ll stay crap.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I don't want Rafael because he's a kopite and I've had enough of appointing no marks with relegations on their CV.

Not to mention his football is extraordinarily dull and he's an arrogant bitter man.

Anyone who wants Rafael to be our manager is deluded and it makes me extremely annoyed to see his name bandied about.
