The nerves are tingling already. Everyone wants to sign the big players, yesterday.
Don't forget, last week was international week, so anyone we would hope to sign would, hopefully, be playing in their national team.
At the end of a long season.
Now the majority will be on holiday and want a few days to just chill, like we all do at holiday time. The fact rafa took is hollies a week before everyone, and is now back in work should tell youse something.
The work will be going on behind the scenes. Rafa will never be held to ransom.
He'll be building a squad first, cos we never had a great squad. That takes time.
Next year is one to soon for me for winning the title. Really hope I'm wrong, but just felt this club was always a 5 year job for a good manager and 7 for a mediocre one.
I believe we got a good manager.
4 finals in 3 years suggests better than good.
But he knows what his job description was when he came, otherwise why would he?
As for the new owners, forget the sound bites, they mean eff all till there backed up.
I think they'll have to be or the warm welcome will turn bitterly cold very very quickly.
And they must have known that before they signed the deal.
