Shocking anyone can compare Rafa with Mourinho. Jose is overrated, and is basically been handed the two most expensively assembled squads in the last decade (Inter and Chelsea). His teams play awful, awful football, far worse than Rafa's teams, he hasn't a clue tactically. And he's never cared for his club. He won't stay at a club to build a dynasty. He simply whores himself out until a club has resources, then goes away.
And don't give me that Porto bullshit. He had world class players like Carvalho, Deco. And players like Carlos Alberto, Costinha, and Maniche who were one of the best during that time.
Talk about replacing Rafa, you talk about replacement, and who do you have? I've said my views on Jose. Who else? Mancini, perhaps, but he's struggled in Europe. Rijkaard, who can't man manage, and again, zero tactical awareness. There are no alternatives.
I'll keep it simple, when Ferguson goes, we'll have the best manager in the league. Rafa has a vision, a project, and he needs to see it through. Nothing, NOTHING will be achieved by sacking him. He'll be given true control from the summer, and then we'll see how he plans his project. He's not perfect, but there's no one else I'd rather have. I've presented my case. I won't listen to the rotation, zonal marking, negative, cup manager, yada, yada, yada of Sky. Don't care, I have an opinion of my own. Rafa's in the top league of managers. Him, Ferguson, Capello, Ancelotti. That's the top league of managers. He's there. He's taking Liverpool there as well.
