No I haven't. The rest of your post could be picked apart, but I get told off for long posts, so suffice to say, it's bollocks.

You have like, he achieved absolutely fuck all and you hold him in very high regard. Even Sir Bobby, who transformed your team and actually built a decent squad, never received the same adulation as Rafa did in his tenure. You’d be scraping the barrel to think of something good he did at your club, as his time at your club was pretty much uneventful.

One week they’re boycotting Sky and cancelling their subscriptions because the Premier League are corrupt, the next they’re outraged, disgusted and victimised because they can’t watch their team on Sky.

its hard to keep up sometimes.

or what a decade of been ran into the ground by a wanker of an owner looks like.

Who took over a club that had about 7 top 6 finishes in 14 PL seasons and not one relegation battle and took them to 1 top 6 finish and 3 relegations. Great work.

Ran into the ground FFS.
Being ran into the ground is back to back relegations, failure to get out of league one twice, two consecutive lowest placed finishes in your history, totally gutting a category one Academy, going into the new season with no scouts, no head of Academy and no chairman.

I my be wrong, but wouldn’t they be considered non believers and thereby ripe for a lopping.

Serious question mate as you’ll likely know better than me, but weren’t you on the point of going spectacularly tits up when fat mick bought you?

No, I haven't. Benitez overhauled a squad to deliver an immediate promotion as Champions, then delivered a top half finish in the first season back, then bettered the previous season's points tally. Benitez represented hope of something more which is why the fans got behind him. Moreso than we did with Pardew, Carver, McClaren, and Bruce who all represent an absence of ambition.

Sir Bobby Robson is adored on Tyneside, a fact that is oft mocked by your fellow Sunderland fans.

But you know all of this and you're just being mischievous.

Apparently so aye. @Grumpy Old Man knows. Although we also had one of the highest revenues and turnovers in Europe in 2007 too.

This is why I have huge misgivings over the Deloitte "richest" clubs rankings, which are nothing of the sort. It's a turnover ranking. It doesn't matter what your income is, if you spend a lot more than consistently then you'll go tits up just the same.
 
Bruce could win the league for them and they would still call Rafa a better Manager. They have a remit of what they think is a Manager with a "Big name" to boss them. Put up with shit football and even a relegation and still wouldnt call him even though he spent a bastard fortune and was on £6M a year. Face it he fucked off when he demanded a 20% pay rise and Millions for players and academy to fund his project. Mike rightly told him to fuck off yet the WEGOs still exist. They havent gone very far
