Makes sense, but I hope the fans don't eventually turn on Xavi.

tlona1 hwfar....how market??
Ur club seems to be even more useless than my own

My God never flops
My God never wear flip flops

Bye!

Even Don Valverde would be shocked at Koeman's naivety and ignorance.

Now Laporta must make the best decision in the interest of the club, get an interim Manager and Poach Erik Ten Hag by the start of next season(that's if Hag wants to complete the season with Ajax).
I don't want Xavi to become another Solksjear who comes in and steady the ship but can't take us to the necessary height needed due to the damage already done and his lack of experience managing a big team.
Barca appears too damaged for Xavi to manage, we need a more experienced Man in my opinion.

All the same thank you Koeman, no one can deny your love for the club but you can't give what you don't have.

TheHulk616:
Laporta is back Barcelona is back.

Virus99:


Here's the complete fact girl

homesteady:
I had already lost all hope. I was prepared for Keoman to stay throughout this season.

Moura7:


What about the river plate coach..Gallardo?
I'd prefer Ten Haag sha but it seems unlikely.

I don't know if I am the only person that feels Xavi coming in now is not a good idea. No disrespect to the mastereo, but this Barcelona team isn't just riddled with coaching and board problems, there's need to phase out some players ( especially those he played with, and who are obviously not just it) out from the team. Experience is vital, no doubt but ehn, let Xavi wait till things are close to stable. E no go make sense to ridicule another legend of the club, much more, someone of Xavi's caliber.

jpmoriarti:
Who then do you have in mind?

Remember that it would be difficult to prize away coaches from their current club especially someone like Eric Ten Hag. No sane club will let go of their manager mid-term unless Barca has the money to pay off the contract.

So you see, our options are pretty limited right now.

If Xavi is tactically sound and ready to take the difficult decision, then I don't see a better time than now.

FirstbornWds:


To answer honestly, I don't know.

But if Xavi is convinced that he can do something with this team ( not entirely that bad as many think it is, if not for Koeman's MASTERCLASS coaching), then he should plunge.

I just don't want to see another of our footballing legends thrown into the chaos of sack after a few games.

Payporte1:

let's try this with our B coach and see what he can offer to the team.

I don't want Xavi to come for now

Payporte1:
so xavi , I don't like this

Pimenta ( former B coach) thinks he can do quite well with this caliber of players. According to him, they might not win the UCL this season or win the league, but they definitely will fight in/for all competitions.


According to Mundo Deportivo

abduleez1:

Pimienta would be my first choice for an Interim Coach.
But Laporta's arrogance won't let him come.

abduleez1:
Ahh, what am I seeing...


This people wan kill Xavi sha. With these useless and weak set of players.

FirstbornWds:


I was following up on Barca Tv and was seeing where they were already in talks to buy Xavi avay from Al Sadd. I no watch again biko.

Let's trust the board.

abduleez1:


Ahh, wahala.....

I would have so much preferred an interim for now.
Xavi can come end of season when things have been mopped up.

Anyway, if Xavi can be strict and adhere to Performance over familiarity or petty favouritism them this team will thrive. Equal chances for all and dead weights moved out.
The clean up would mean Roberto, Busquets and Pique.
Players like De Jong, Depay and Pedri would need to be benched to bring some senses into their brains. Everyone should know mediocrity won't be tolerated.

These ideals was what made us happy Koeman was coming back then. But it turned out that those braggadocio na audio.

FirstbornWds:
Sergi Berjuan is our new interim coach.

The former Barca Manager is expected to be at the helms of affair whilst the management continue talks with other top candidates, with Xavi and Ten Haang leading the choice of prospects.

I am not comfortable with this guy's appointment. His winning percentage in each of the teams he's managed is less than 45%

Even the Barcelona B team he's managed, he has 40% winning games. Let's not raise hope on this guy.

FirstbornWds:


I am equally worried. But what can we do for now than hope that our board gets someone competent enough, soon.

Make we no turn to investor "SOMETHING HOOGE" next week.
