Pep and Lucho with the PR statements lmao.
There hasn't been a manager on this planet who has been treated better than Valverde over the last 3 years.
Poch for 2.5 season then Xavi when every veteran is retired is not that terrible. Anyway, Poch is lightyears ahead of Valverde. But stylistically, he's not my favorite choice.
No way Pochettino comes here and especially for six months.
Hire Heynkes. Speaks Spanish, great record, experience. Tactically flexible.
Luis Enrique: "There is a lot of speculation after the defeat, but I don't think anything has been done. The coaches know that football is risky. Valverde can still win several titles this season. He is one of the best Spanish coaches in the world and he's doing a great job, and I'm in solidarity with him."
Pep Guardiola: "Barcelona is a very special place where winning La Liga is not enough. I feel very sad for Ernesto Valverde, he doesn't deserve this. I hope the situation can be sorted soon."
Poch is right up BBZ's and Tackle's alley. But the board is all over the place if they follow two opposite managers like Xavi and Pochettino. It means they're scrambling big time.
Pochettino means Valverde but much better at everything. Xavi is something new and reconstruction.
Another case of lacking proffesinalism, its just so messy. First not informing Valverde, leaking stuff to media, go for a surprise visit to convince Xavi who denies us, now reaching out to all kind of managers begging them to coach us...
