Garcia Pimienta is the answer. Sack Valverde.
He cannot stay after the Xavigate. It´s embarassing.
Or even better, get Jorge Jesus.
He can and will stay for the remainder of the season at the very least.
Neither party has any shame. Valverde will want to stay due to his enormous salary and the potential of building his CV further with some more titles. Bartomeu is just an all around muppet.
Personally I don't think Xavi would've put us in any better position than EV had he come in now. He'd have been out of his depth and most likely crashed and burned. The summer is a better time to look for a replacement. Valverde still has this team in a decent position and it's only fair he finishes out the season. These theatrics over the past few days have been shameless however.
