Clearly the situation behind the scenes is having an effect, but equally clearly we can't in all honesty go behind twice at home to a non-league team and seriously pretend it is anything other than an embarassment either. "At least we won", "we got the job done" and "we're in the draw for the next round" is all very well, but I have trouble taking seriously anybody who is sufficiently delusional to present the opinion that the peformance of the team in the first half was anything other than shambolic.
I've been saying for a little while now that in my opinion come the end of the season, the time will be right to move on as far as a new manager goes. The only provisio being that if Rafa's presence p!sses off the owners then I hope he stays for a good deal longer. From a purely football point of view though, the time has come. We've tried all the various theories, God knows we've tried, but ultimately they haven't worked. It is my profound belief that they never will in this country, and that we would be better served by a different manager. If he were available at the end of the season, I'm coming round the thinking that such is my desperation for a title challenge, I'd go for Mourinho.
Your right mick , assess at the end of the season would be best .Like i've already said ,i would stick with rafa . If rafa did get the boot in the summer though ,i personally couldn't bare the thought of Mourinho as the manager , just can't accept him mate. Feckin hell mate ,imagine him and hicks at the press conferance , they'd be killing one another for the microphone , feck me not another media whore.
