You are referencing United as a way to suggest hes having a tough situation and not like Uniteds managers who have such an easy time. They dont and his situation here isnt as bad as made out in spite of less funds than usual. The important thing isn't only results (which have been bad enough)...

Imagine another top club coping with this leave and rejoin and leave and rejoin rubbish from an underperforming manager... would never happen.

He would be much less successful at United than he has been here.

Albert Blaya Sensat : Sergi Roberto's post game interview shows that Xavi's mentality has spread through the dressing room.

Out, without question. The team has problems, but is it likely any of them will improve the longer we keep this guy? He is actively making things worse by trying to force his own project onto the club, a project that is almost guaranteed to end in a sacking next season, so what's the point...

Won't be surprised if Xavi changes his decision for a third time 😭

A serious club would fire him. Our president is begging him to stay... utterly unserious.

He's just fine. For his role he brings a decent amount and he gives something different to the other midfielders. No reason to get rid of him. He needs to improve technically and physically going forward. He's quite weak and slow over long distances.

The commentary on Araujo here lacks context. Yes, he made a huge mistake, you have to consider his 'sweeper' role in this team where he is regularly making a ridiculous number of last man interventions and stopping clear goals with desperation tackles or recoveries. The way he plays in this...

You always have to put the results in context... Liverpool went from an average fringe Europe team to a perpetual top contender and top3 team in the world for a long period. Unfortunately, Klopp coincided with a machine of a City that was and is also cheating their butt off. Missed EPL twice by...

Spanish press destroying Xavi seems like a myth. Can someone provide any actual evidence the media has been extremely harsh to him? This seems like a bit of a Mandela effect where a myth has evolved into common wisdom, sparked by Xavis repeated whining about the media. The only outlets that are...

Chewing gum man gets results... and players more likely to want to play under him. I think less and less players will want to join us the longer this continues.

Why are we making demands to Xavi if we're the ones convincing him to stay... Sounds more like he was on the verge of being fired and did a you don't fire me I quit.

Its actually Xavi who has wanted to stay... as mentioned here before his leaving ploy was to try and garner validation and appreciation for his ability.

Most of those likely arent even fans of the club. They are trolls on social media who probably hate on players from different clubs and like to spread misery.

Not going to lie I don't think he is that committed, or, he has a serious physical condition issue. Anyone with a basic understanding of sports science knows that, with very few exceptions, basically any top athlete can significantly improve physically from their baseline. He hasn't improved at...

The idea of Xavi leaving was more a temper tantrum than ever a serious announcement and it's been obvious by the way he has spoken at press conferences. He hasnt spoken like a manager who is planning to leave and it just looks like he wanted to feel more appreciated and rated rather than...

That's the problem, he seems unstable and like he isn't mentally coping with the pressure of the job, and needing to seek affirmation by making impulsive decisions to leave the club and then reversing them. He needs to be more serious and more collected as a person and it will do him better as...

His body is built for stamina already, he is as thin as you can be without being too weak to run. His problem won't be cardiovascular, because if his cardio is bad with such a small frame, then it is unchangeable. The problem is going to be muscular fatigue and strength because his muscles are...

He's pretty good and he should stick around if we don't get any good offers. I can't see a team paying more than 10 or 15m for him and for that he might as well stay.
