1. I brought in Pep as an example of a good coach that can improve and develope his players. Don't have to be a new Pep, but a good coach with clear ideas. If you watch Barca B you can see that Lopez doesn't have any clue on what he's doing.
2. Yes but we had more than just Pep and Lucho. We had Oscar Garcia? He's wanted by many european teams, even by Chelsea before they brought in Conte. Lopez won't get a offer from big teams. I doubt he will even get a job by a mid table teams in Spain and he's coaching a team that plays in Segunda A. Not many teams will recognize Lopez as a possible candidate to coach their team. Pep got offers from Getafe, Real Betis and Deportive La Coruña. He was close to Getafe until Barca decided to promote him. La liga teams recognized his coaching abilities even though his team played in fourth division in Spain. Do you really think Lopez is good enough to coach Barca first team? He has even a better squad than what Pep had + players with high confidence after promotion to Segunda. Chat to me when Lopez get an offer from a team and succeeds. I know there is a difference between second and fourth division but you can still play well even though you are loosing games. Players develope also by playing well, but as you can see Lopez team plays like donkeys.
3. Pep never took over a brilliant team. He took over a team that finished 18 points behind their biggest rival which is absolutely disgrace. And not only that, we also finished behind Villareal which leads us to 3rd place. Our fans only accept second place if we are not gonna win the league. We could also have finished behind Sevilla and Atleico too because they were just 3 points behind Barca with 64 points and that would lead us to 5th place. So Pep took over a brilliant team? You mean the same brilliant team that finished 18 points behind their biggest rival, won nothing that year and almost played Europa League? Please don't talk rubbish. Pep took over a team that needed a big revelutionary change. You call it a brilliant team because you hear famous names like Messi, Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi, Iniesta, Thierry, Abidal, valdes, Puyol, Eto'o and yaya toure? To be honest it looks like a brilliant team, but they never performed in 2007-08 season so no they were not that good as you say. If it's so brilliant as you say then I don't know why they couldn't perform under Rikjaard, but did it under Pep. Now you see? The difference was just Pep so yes my point is it doesn't matter if you are coaching a brilliant team if you don't have clear ideas. Not gonna say Rikjaard wasn't good enough because I love him for what he did for Barca, but Pep was the real deal. Players like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Eto'o, Puyol, Abidal and Valdes were starters under Rikjaard, but never showed big improvments until Pep arrived. Pep made Messi the next leader after Ronaldinho and improved him so well, denied Xavi to leave Barca, sold Deco to focus on Iniesta, promoted nobody players like Busi and Pedro from fourth division, improved Thierry, Abidal and and Valdes, and even Puyol by giving him a good CB Partner like Pique. Also bought player that can imporve his squad. And in Man City he's giving a massive improvments to all the players there. The Man City teams looks good on the paper based on famous names, but still they were not playing brilliant until Pep arrived. Sane was not that good in Schalke as he's now and Sterling scores more goals + playing brilliant. Both are big improved by Pep. So no Pep never took over a briliant team. Rubbish from you. I hope you watched Barca Before 2008 because it looks like you are saying they were brilliant because they had many famous names in the squad.
4. I don't blame Lopez for relegating us the year we had the youngest Barca B ever. I blame him now for not playing well with a more established team. He has good experienced players + super la masia talents that is good enough for this league. Yes players like Aleña, Palencia, Cucurella, Oriol Busquets are good enough for this league like Thiago, Bartra, Roberto, Muniesa once were in the same division. Busi og Pedro were also good enough for Segunda A even thought they played in fourth division. Youth players or not you can still perform in this division, especially with a proper manager. With players like Aleña, Palencia, Cucurella and Oriol Busquets + experienced players Barca bought to improve the squad I expect more. This shit board care about staying in Segunda A so they are buying players that can help them stay, but Lopez still can't deliever. I don't mind Barca B playing in Third or fourth division if we had a coach that cared about development of youth players + play well with some experienced players. Doesn't have to win games unless I see improvments of one or more possible youth players that can contribute in the first team. Lopez has more experienced players bought from the same division than la masia talents, but still can't deliever. I don't see him developing players either. The man cares more about results so he can get a coaching job in la liga.
5. I give him credits for the promotion, but still not good enough when you are not developing youth players. When the board was clear that no youth players will have a chance in the first team unless they were promoted, then I don't doubt Lopez to beat those farmers in the third divison. The board signed plenty of experienced, also one of the best players in the third division to only reach one goal: promotion. The board never cared about the development until they reached promotion. Please don't compare back to back UCL with promotion to Segunda A. It's normal for Barca to get a promotion in Segunda A and stay there for a couple of years. When you are the biggest team in the third division and you want to imporve the squad to get promotion, you will reach that goal. You will most probably sign the players you want because everybody wants to play for a big team. Winning back to back UCL is tougher because competing with other strong teams are so difficult. Lopez won the promotion because of individually performance by some of his players, but now he struggles because it doesn't work in Segunda A.
6. Don't have to watch other Segunda teams, neither previously Barca B games to understand that Lopez is average. I'm sure that a good manager can manage this squad, especially when his players have experience to play in second division. You will be proven wrong when Lopez leaves. This squad is good and can be improved by a better coach. Easy to understand that.
7. Maybe Lopez played a little part of Aleña's development, but I don't think he made him outstanding. I think Aleña needed time to become a complete player in the reserve team and is it now thanks to him improving. I think he needed time to become a more established player in Segunda to grow more and become better. I agree with you that it's competitive, but it's possible to develope here. Thiago played in Segunda A and is now one of the best midfielder in the world. I just want a coach that can develope La masia players.
