Wish I’d read this wonderful piece last summer. If Rafa had FSG at his back, our history would have been so, so different. A great coach, woefully underestimated in an English football landscape populated by idiots and Neanderthals. Thanks for writing this.

Didn’t even know Rafa was there in May. Great piece. A more detailed description of events can be found in Brian Reade’s book “An epic swindle”.
Fabulously written.
