The bloke had just shy of a third of the season and a few points to make up with everyone down there to play. He failed miserably and took them down. Journo on the radio the other day said Maclaren took them down. Look North Korea

there is no getting away from that. I think what fucked them mind is how many points we picked up. I think normally Rafas return might have just kept them up. Also didn’t lascelles have to give that tub thumping speech or whatever when Rafa was there. Imagine if that happened now it would be all...Look the players don’t respect the manager and have had to do it all themselves. Not 100% on the timing of that mind but sure Rafa was already there

Lots of these replies on here have the same comments....."I have it on good authority / A mag I work with says that blah blah blah /A friend of a friend who walked Rafa's dog heard it from the horses mouth / A bloke down the pub etc etc etc".

Then the best of all... "Rafa got you relegated / Rafa fucked off to China / All mags almost wank over Rafa"........the facts are, 1 He was brought in to late to save us from relegation, 2 He only started negotiation's/visa application when it was clear Fat Mike wasn't going to offer assurances/money etc, 3 He was best manger we've had since Robson and the only people who keep banging on how we supposedly worship the guy is sad Sunderland fans.

In fairness mate, there is a huge group of Nufc fans that do worship him. That's not me winding you up or being provocative for the sake of it, but it's true.

How do you know number 2.

You got it on good authority from a bloke down the pub who you used to work with.

No way a top class manager would get that team relegated? :lol: Behave yourself man. Look at Klopp's last 8 games. That form would have seen us go down with fewer points. And he's working with a much, much better side.

You must be joking Fish lad.
That team with Sissoko etc shud never have been relegated. You are nuts if you believe Rafa had a thankless task trying to do so. Ten games he had man.
Lost to Norwich and cudnt even beat us at SJP.

Little Dick saved us the previous season and he only had 9 games with a much inferior squad than you lot had.

Haway man, just admit it, Rafa's not the top boss he used to be.

Even di canio saved us with less games while destroying the mags 😎
 
I see Hayden out for rest of season now.
Big blow. Their most consistent midfielder, never goes missing like Jonjurr and Hendrick.
If Wilson doesn't hit the ground running really are in deep shit be even tho it's difficult to see Fulham picking up the points to overtake them.
