I wouldn’t be happy. He’s up against it from day zero.

Been searching for a quote that's in Lawrence of Arabia (a film I know very, very well, so I should be able to locate the scene, by rights. I think it's after they take Aqaba) — someone says to Lawrence*, “amongst Arabs, the man who gives victory is revered like no other”. Or words to that effect. It seems perfectly apposite to Rafa's position. If he gives them victory, they'll forgive him anything. He could have been a lifelong Koppite. That's the way it works with football fans. If he fails, he'll be thrown to the dogs to be ripped to pieces.
Perhaps among all football managers and all clubs, the only absolute no-no is Pep to Real (a no-no on both sides, need it be said). Even then, that would be interesting… the hostility would be tasty.

*It's come back to me. It's Prince Faisal (played by Alec Guinness) who say it to the American reporter, Jackson Bentley. I'm pretty sure it's in the first scene after the intermission. Not that anyone gives a toss! But I told you I knew that film obsessively well ;-)

I do not want Rafa anywhere near our club.

But the idiots who put this outside his house need to get a life. The guy has a family and does not deserve this. No need and very shameful for the club. Can these idiots kindly do one and support another team.
