They're still well positioned but they'll be a little disappointed with the start they've had. Though they were unlucky to get beat by a late goal at Roma, they shouldn't have dropped points at home to Brescia and Sampdoria, who I suppose are about the equivalent of West Brom and Spurs respectively. For me he has to really win either the league or CL to restore some of his reputation. I hope he does, not because I'm an Inter or RBFC fan, but quite simply because he gave me some of the best nights of my life. I might think differently, but I don't accept the connection that Mick tries to make - that success for Rafa makes it harder for Roy or a future manager to get the backing of our fans. For a start, it doesn't stack up with the "blue sky denial" theory that would lead you to conclude that whatever he does at Inter is an irrelevance - since any failure at Inter would be explained away willy-nilly. If our manager does a good job, whoever he is, then by and large he'll get the backing of the fans.
