So on the broadcast yesterday, they said that Rafa had initially planned not to stay if they got relegated, but after the outpouring of support from the fans, he's reconsidering. Since all such men are politicians, does that mean:
- He's going to quit and go to the highest bidder
- He's trying to get a raise out of committing to 1-2 Championship seasons
- He is genuinely touched by how stoked the fans are about the impact he's made on his club and he may be preparing to make an emotional decision?
The third seems unlikely, but I don't know what the news is saying up there. This is a guy who was managing Real Madrid 4 months ago, who's one of the most accomplished coaches in the world by any measure, as any Liverpool fan will remind us. The idea that he'd play for a second-division team, especially after the obvious impact he had in his time at Newcastle (which is great PR towards other interested teams), would seem to strain credulity.
