Yup, and Valverde didn't and neither does Setien it seems. No way the seniors would have lasted this long under Lucho.

If they're not bringing in Xavi they're probably bringing in another EV/Setien.

Imagine only getting 1 more point in half a season than this bum :lol:

The top 3 beneficiaries of this format are City, Madrid and us, in that order. Empty stadiums for City, no home games for Madrid and no away games for us. Also Madrid LOVES finals and one-offs. Bayern will probably give us another 7-0 regardless.

No away legs is good for us. Empty stadiums is a wet dream for City. It's like playing every game at home for them.

Another 7-0 incoming.

If Xavi's not coming now we're probably headed for another wasted season regardless of whether we fire Setien or not. As much as I'm not a fan of keeping him beyond this season.

Lol he's the biggest bum of the lot

How exactly is this supposed to balance the books? Won't Pjanic have a higher salary? Is it the 10m cash we're getting?

Team needs to be built around him. Him and MATS should be the only sure starters from next season

One positive is it seems he won't be sticking around for years like EV.

Needs to be given full backing to clean house. If he is unwilling to do get rid of his old teammates, then the house needs to be cleaned before he is brought in. So yeah it'd be best if this happened under someone other than Barto. Although anyone else is probably going to be another EV/Setien...

This guy gets fired and the world goes to shit. The black magic is real.

Because even Tata or Setien would have won those 2 Ligas. Tata even got the same points haul as Valverde 18/19. The 81 points Setien is on course for (as was Valverde this season) would also have been enough to win both of Valverde's Ligas. There really isn't much of a gap in ability between...

Wouldn't look too much into their performance in a dead rubber.

Lucho wasn't perfect by any means. Still better than anyone else we've hired. If he's tier 2 then Tata, Valverde and Setien are tier 10.

Lucho was our only good appointment post-Pep. If Lucho is our coach, then at half time at Anfield he benches Alba, tells the other players to man the fuck up or get benched, and we win 2-1. Huge downgrade to go from him to the likes of EV and Setien.

We'd have a much better coach than Setien right now had we fired Valverde after Anfield like we should have.

He might as well go to a retirement league. No one in Europe is going to take him after his contract with us is done, unless he takes a massive pay cut and a mid table or lower team. He has no career left at Barca either, the rest of his contract will be spent lying in the hospital bed and...

No reason not to go there actually if they're willing to match his current wages and give him a longer contract. Other than the city I guess. His career is done anyway.
