Looks like our gala XI next year will have a combined average age of >30 years. Not good. Suarez Busi Raki will play every single match again. Pretty fucking depressing.
Koeman ffss.
Guy failed at Valencia and Everton. We are dying.
People may criticize Madridistas for excessively booing their players, but if this happened to Madrid the fans would have made life hell for Perez in the Bernabeu if he didn't sack the coach immediately. Sadly can't expect the same from the old clueless socios and Camp Nou tourists.

Yeah they don't accept being mediocre unlike our fans. And that's why they have 13 CL.
Hi, I'm new here, fan of Barcelona.
Many probably don't agree with me, but I'm going to touch on a few complicated topics & the opinion that is shared by some forum fans in Spain.
First of all you have to bear in mind that there are elections in 2021 and the elections are not only to president over the football club but many more sports and business sections. I will give some examples:
- The "Grupo Godó" is a travel companion of this Board, they are a group of media of Barcelona among many things are owners of "Mundo Deportivo". It is the official pamphlet of the club from time to time they get exclusive news, interviews of players, the president, small favors, etc. His part of the contract is to defend this directive anyway.
- A member of the Board called Jordi Mestre is president of one of the most important hotels in Barcelona, the "Hotel Sofia", where most of the visiting teams stay, where events related to Barcelona are held, or for example where the meeting between Griezmann's sister and the board was held last year.
- Not to mention names like André Curys, Braida, the signings of Brazilian players, the commissions ... you already know.
There are many people getting rich thanks to FC Barcelona.
This Board and his close friends want to remain in power for obvious reasons and in 2021 they will resubmit, without Bartomeu because he can not, but surely with Cardoner as president.
Why are not decisions made? They are afraid, simply as that. They aren't going to kick Valverde because they don't want to look bad, they aren't going to throw or sell important players for fear of the "socis" but above all for fear of the most beloved person of the "socis", Messi. Messi, unwittingly & indirectly has become one of the greatest evils of the club. Not for his game, if not by the power indirectly given by all those around him. Board, coach & colleagues. Piqué, Busquets, Suárez & Alba, the biggest supporters of Messi are going to be starters until they want. As happened with Iniesta.
The players live very well in Barcelona:
-Piqué making documentaries, traveling all over the world in official training days because of his business.
-Rakitic in a party the day after the elimination against Liverpool.
-Alba pressing to renew.
-Messi renewing each year, the club paying his tax fraud.
-Suárez and Umtiti decide when to undergo surgery for their injuries.
-Messi, Suárez and Busquets decide when and how to rest.
This is a fucking joke. Of course they want him as manager. This coach will defend them and make them starters not matter what. I'm fully convinced that the club will not change until Messi retires, or there is a change of mentality in the club where each person has his role and nothing more than that. Can we win until then? Surely, and also many titles. But it's not the right way & more and more I feel disconnected from this club.
And this is not an attack at Messi, he is my favourite player, i'm a fan since Rivaldo days. This club is going to shit and we are looking the other way trinbking of past glories.
Of course we are going to sign De Jong, De Ligt, Griezmann, you name it. Piqué, Busquets, Alba, Rakitic, Suárez and Messi are going to be starters not matter what. One year older same old shit.
Don't understand why we're keeping this guy for? I mean, let's be serious, league form? Tata Martino and his barbecues almost won the double vs a much much better Madrid and Atletico (played the CL final that year) with fucking Pinto in goal. And that was with the worst Messi since 2009. We could have about 50 other managers in Europe at least and still have the most chances to win the league when Madrid implode like they've done in Ernie's two seasons here. Atletico and their 1-0 wins vs Levante and Huesca can't keep up.
What have we got to lose by sacking him? Very very little. Our league forum since Messi has been in hot form has been almost beyond reproach no matter the manager. In our worst seasons and with crap refereeing we almost made the domestic double. I think it's fair to say our La Liga form has been rock steady no matter the manager because of the quality of the players we have.
Only thing that a manager can really improve this team with, and bring his own unique value to the table by doing so, is the Champions League. And surprise, surprise, it's the one competition this guy proves he has no chance to ever be a winner in, because he's so god damn average in every department.
So why the fuck are we keeping him? That's like such bad management from top to bottom it's even hard to describe.
Only thing Valverde is good at is making us delay the much needed rejuvenation of this team by pandering to the veterans' whims.
keeping him for 1 more year in which time Koeman will be available after Euro 2020..
