I just dont understand why Rafa gets brought up so much. Hes no longer our manager yet he still gets blamed for everything at the club.
And of course his name is never mentioned when we win. Did he get credit for Torres or his two goals against Chelsea, No, so why should he take the blame from Roy when we fall to inept defeats like today.
Its Roys team when we win, its Rafa's when we lose, Roy cant lose.
Likewise Houlliers team won the European cup in 05. Give me a break.
It is a common fact that you do need a decent level of investment in the premier league to compete. But I would also expect a top manager to be able to come to a club and before being handed significant investment organise / galvanise a squad of international footballers, 3 world class, to perform to a standard far better than what we have seen at Man City, Birmingham, Man Utd, Northampton, Sunderland, Blackpool, Everton, Napoli, Wigan and Stoke. Even seeing the list of teams we've lost or played horribly against is embarrassing.
