Rafa ready to bring success with or without money

Rafa knows that, although it helps, money does not guarantee success. His is convinced he can use his scouting network and coaching skills to make us great both domestically and in Europe:

"I am not the kind of manager who says we need hundreds of millions of pounds to improve the team," said Rafa. "I have confidence in my scouts. If you have more money it will be easier, if you don't have big money, it will be more difficult. "Before the transfer window, we'll tell the club: 'These are the players we want'. Then we will see if we have enough money. But I have an advantage in January that we didn't have last year – we are the Champions League winners. Sometimes, finding hungry players is enough. Sometimes you don't need big money to sign the best in the world."

Rafa has promised that our league performances will soon match the high levels we produce in Europe:

"We will change the situation. In three months, you may say we are as good in the league as we are in the Champions League. There is no magic secret, just to work harder."

We all hope you're right Rafa.
