Tito needs to go. I can't count on him taking Barca far next season, the liga is won and he still don't play the youth players. When Barca had comfortable lead over Madrid in liga, he refused to rest players and over play them resulting in Barca losing to Bayern. Stood there and made no changes in the first leg against Bayern. Guardiola would not of made those mistakes and allow Barca to lose 7:0.

All I know is that if Tito does really make a lot of drastic changes this offseason (getting rid of Tello, Thiago, Cuenca and other youngsters) and fails even slightly next season... He will be crucified by every single Cule and every single newspaper.

Again, Guardiola didn't believe in rotation either. Guardiola also had no Plan B and stubbornly did nothing while teams parked the bus and Plan A wasn't working.

I don't think Vilanova's much different, just a little more conservative because he's new, he has to establish himself, and he had to at least win the league, since Barca lost it last year.

Of course, Barca has to rotate. It's a no brainer. I don't know what kind of quack sports medicine has convinced Guardiola and Vilanova that their teams don't need rotation! Rotation is necessary and they need to make whatever adjustments they need to to training and tactics to make this possible.

Mind you, this year, rotation was even more necessary because, apart from physical considerations, the team was stuck in a mental rut.

Having said all of this, I don't believe in 'fire him', 'sell him'. Sorry, I find that a bit difficult. As a fan, I state my case, and that's it! He'll fire himself if he's not successful.

He'll fire himself if he's not successful.

He wont cause he knows he cant get a top job anywhere else. If he cared about the team so much he would have resigned when he was ill. Which manager leaves his team alone for 2 months during their most important part of the season

There have been rumblings that a resignation might be a consideration...I'd be happy for it except I'm concerned at what the alternatives would be

Same, i want someone else to train Barcelona, someone with new ideas but keeps the playingstyle we have now. I think everyone wants Pep really.
I cant see anyone that would be a good trainer that is available. Use another old player again? :p

I think Laudrup would be a good choice, though he did leave Barca for RM as a player, so it could piss a lot of fans off...

De Boer maybe?

I dont wanna see Tika taka boring sideway passing anymore and nobody takes it serious anymore anyway.

Fast counter attacking with messi being the main guy in playmaking and scoring like in argentina.

Laudrup would be interesting. Romario lol...looking through the players..Koeman, Reiziger, Rivaldo, Kluivert..Stoichkov! lol..Kluivert is actually assistant in the NT right now, dont know how he would do in a bigger club though.

I always thought Luis Enrique did a fantastic job w/ Barcelona B. I really thought he was Pep's successor before he went to Roma. Even though he took a sabbatical from football this year, I still think he would do a great job here.

Laudrup would be a decent choice too.

It must be apparent that Tito is prepping Adriano as our back-up CB next season. He is a valued utility player and this is further enforced by Adriano's contract extension.

Tito believes that Adriano has done a good job as CB and that's why he will continue to use him there.

I can well imagine a scenario of a Centre-Back pairing of Adriano & Mascherano.

It'll happen, you wait and see.

I fear this as well. This makes D.Luiz to seem a great option.
