Big Sam came in after 8 games and only managed to keep you up by one place and you thought he did an awesome job , Rafa came in with 10 games left.
lol you are thick as fuck you mindWhen you are talking about how much has been spent on transfers it is irrelevant how it was funded. You are trying to make it appear as though Rafa is a genius in getting you promoted on a show string when the opposite is in fact true.
Again, thanks for making my point about how easy you lot are to wind up

1. chomp
2. I never said Grayson is better
3. sugar coat it as much as you want, your hero Rafa failed to keep you up
100% this. The amount of mags that mention £30m for Sissoko and net spend etc, it just doesn't make a difference. He was allowed to invest over £50m, simple as that. Theres even some mag on twitter keeps repeating 'easy league lads', aye, it is if you spend £50mWhen you are talking about how much has been spent on transfers it is irrelevant how it was funded.

Rafa got us promoted because we had a valuable squad and he was allowed to sell some of those assets and use that money to buy a team he felt equipped for the championship. I don't claim he won promotion because of his genius, with the squad he had available he should have got us promoted as many managers would of.
I do think he happens to be one of the worlds top managers as well but that is simply subjective opinion.

Apart from the last line, I agree, he was given substantial money to spend by Championship standards.

True. If that had Rafa they could have won the league by the skin of their teeth thanks to Brighton.
50m or 1.25m? It's pretty much hard to say who would do better.

here we go , so you are saying with the same amount of money, which was the argument last time, Grayson would do a better job than Benitez yes? thats what you are saying?

Would you rather have Rafa with 1.25m to spend or Grayson with 50m to spend?

Grayson. Benitez wouldn't have got you lot promoted with £1.5m to spend. He nearly fucked promotion up with £50m to spend. Aside from that Benitez has been relegated before and Grayson hasn't.

Do we just get to lose Cisse (Defoe), Gouffran (Borini) and Karl Darlow (Pickford) from our 2015/16 squad in this hypothetical situation?
Imagine Grayson with £50m to spend.
