AVB was a terrible fit if Roman never intended to let him build and shape his team... Which is what AVB tried to do...

Tried too much, way too fast. Also, the players know him as Jose's video boy he was never going to have respect in that locker room.

Rafa was brought into a sinking ship, a lost cause and the results have shown that...

We were right in the thick of the race before Rafa got here, we had a few bad results during the Terry trial/suspension but overall the team was playing ok.

I cant believe you thought he was the answer...

I don't think anybody saw him as the long term answer but no way he should have been fired when he was unless they somehow had somebody in line to take over for him in the middle of year who was going to be the long term answer. Every single person in the world knew Rafa was a terrible hire and it has played out even worse than even most people thought it would.
