No, not really, he inherited an ageing team, a striker signed for an astronomical fee who (a) doesn't fit in and ( is sadly no longer the player he was and a number of players who have too much power in the dressing room. In a way I feel sorry for him as he seems like a really decent bloke. There are two rumours doing the rounds, one is that Jose is house hunting in London, second is that Rafa is under consideration. If anyone can get Torres back to anywhere near his best then Rafa is the man.
