And I'm gonna go all Disney movie and follow my heart. Dude was the living embodiment of our style. He was more Mr Barça than Messi himself. Hopefully we're not getting Catalan Solksjaer... As soon as I heard on radio it could be Xavi I hoped it was. Hope he's like what Pep was for you. Koeman has totally ruined Barcelona squad it feels. I know boardroom have had a shocker and debt etc. - but he was wrong person at the worst time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 The fact that Barca and Man U fans would be happy with Ten Hag tells me we need to sign him up immediately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also the whole chain of torch-passing from Cruyff to Guardiola and now to Xavi. As a football fan, I live for this shit. And yes, our squad is badly depleted but we're much better than what's been on display. Koeman was a terrible manager, with a terrible defeatist attitude and always making excuses. He lost games before the ball started rolling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Xavi has massive contracts with most of Qatar's major brands and he's pretty much all over their ads and media there, he's making an insane amount of money, so he won't be in a hurry to leave that behind anytime soon.

He's already absolutely minted one would think, and he'll have a chance to manage his boyhood club and one of the biggest clubs in the world. Some commercial deals isn't going to stop him moving home to Barcelona Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 And he’s won the *checks notes* Qatar Stars League, Qatari Super Cup, Emir of Qatar Cup, Qatari Stars Cup, and Qatar Cup (twice), so he’s not got much more to do there. Yes those are all real and separate competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Pilgrim Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) He’s only gonna get one chance at managing Barcelona. He can afford to come back elsewhere in Europe, fail a bit but get experience, and then walk into the job when he’s better prepared. If I was him I’d be looking at a small club in a big league outside of Spain and plan for Barcelona within 4-5 years.

Good thing is that there’d presumably be a ton of goodwill and hopefully a long leash from the supporters, being the legend that he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 it's an odd time for him to choose to go into it, the current problems would test the very best managers let alone a relative novice. But I suppose with the exception of Guardiola himself no one else is likely to get more patience and time from the supporters unless he makes a complete balls of it and is threatening to relegate them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
