It's fair to say Rafa has been exploited by his last 3 clubs..Low spend but expectations were winning titles..
Chelsea where he did a 6 month stint saw him lift the UEFA Cup & qualify for CL spot when they looked like imploding..
Given the right environment the man would deliver trophies..
What is the "Right Environment"..?? Napoli, Inter,Real, Valencia, Liverpool...??
He spend most of his time at these clubs constantly moaning about not been given enough money to buy the players he wanted, and when he was given the money wasting huge chucks of it on players he then claimed he did not want ...
Inter sacked him partly for trying the same thing directly after they won the Super Cup...
Chelsea was always a standing job, but i have no doubt had he been given the role on a permanent basis he would have done the same, claimed that he was not being given the money to spend on players he wanted, until the Roman go rid. Hence the reason he took the role at Newcastle, no team top wanted him, he had to gamble on taking a lower club, hoping he could bring them success and in the meantime rescue his flagging managerial career
