I don’t think he’s the right person for the job. Would love him as someone’s number 2 though.
Still, I’ll take anything to get rid of Valverde.
Not entirely sure I buy the rumours though. Sure Valverde is shit, but he’s always been shit. So why the sudden change in heart from the board?
A little too late. Last summer was the right time to sack Valverde and give the whole off season to Xavi or some other manager.
Not sure what anyone expects of him at this point when the team is physically destroyed by almost 3 years of Valverde ball. He could get the midfield more organized I guess but everything else will be the same shit because it's hard to change the team mentality and intensity overnight. IMO, we shouldn't have great expectations for this season, both in terms of silverware and teamplay. He needs an off season or two of training, to clear out the dross, bring in player suited to what he wants to do and only after that we should expect results. This half a year should be used to lay the foundations of our usual style, to asses the players and together with the board(lol), conjure up a strategy for the next season. If we win La Liga/CdR/CL(lmao on the last one) good, if not it shouldn't be a problem as long as progress is made on other fronts.
Of course, all this is assuming Xavi accepts.
Exactly.
What happens if we're real shit and don't even make top four? Do we give Xavi the boot? Not only is it a steep learning curve for Xavi but there will be players who will not fit into his plans?
I think a Xavi appointment would raise more questions than answers but at this point in time I just want to see the back of Shitverde.
He really doesn't have to be next Pep, what I expect him to do is drop these slow players like Rakitic, Roberto, Busi and play faster football. I remember he said that if he was Barca manger, Puig would be a starter or in the first team, so there is a hope that we'll see some positive changes.
