People need to calm down. We have no money, we have too many young players, we are playing out of home until 2025. There is no club in the world that could compete at the highest level under this circumstances. I am not saying Xavi is the right coach, or that Laporta is on the required level as president. However, losing at San Memes in Copa Del Rey is not the end of the world.
We should let everyone do their job until the end of the season and than draw conclusions and make changes. Harsh decisions and quick solutions will destroy us even more. We have no room for mistakes anymore and every decision we make in the next 2 or 3 years has to be smart and reasoned.

We have no money right, so why pull economic levers and hand that huge transfer budget to an unproven manager? How is that a vision for long term stability? That's the issue here, not that Xavi is an extremely limited coach (that's another issue). It's that the guys in control of the clubs future are hedging bets with money we don't have on players/managers who were never going to take us back to the level we think we should be at.
At times of economic hardship the 1 important thing to do is bring in people at the top who know how to manage a situation where there isn't a lot of money. We didn't do that and now we're looking at missing 4th in la liga which would be a catastrophe for our finances.

I agree with you 100%. However, if we fire Xavi now we basically have no alternative and we can't appoint another inexperienced manager for the next 5 months (Marquez) and just wait for the miracle to happen. That's the reason I sad that we need to make smart and long term decisions in summer. One of them for sure is to appoint a top manager and together with him make plans for the next 2 or 3 seasons. Short term solutions would only make things worse.

It's not the losing at San Mames that's the problem. This result was coming and it was clear that the team is poor. We're playing shit football and struggle against any team with intensity.

I agree. However, we need to stay smart and find the right solution for our bench and not the quickest and easiest one. We did exactly that with Valverde, when we appointed Setien and that ended up horribly. There is no room to make that same mistake twice. I am 90% sure that Xavi won't be here next season. However, we can't just hire another Setien.

Joan Laporta encouraged Xavi after the defeat last night. Everyone, including the board, were very proud of the performance and believe that the team showed a good image and were very competitive.
@ffpolo
Have gone from Laporta saying Barca can never rebuild and losing has consequences when pushing for members to approve levers... to Barca having 4 teenagers on the park and praising the fact the team tried hard in a 4-2 defeat to Bilbao.
Guess it will be someone elses fault that Barca take off a 35 yr old striker they paid 50m for and have on huge salary and put on a 18 yr old that has barely played b team level football..
Someone elses fault have no DM, LW and poor CB playing RB etc.

The desperate lies are beyond embarrassing now.
GK position too. World class no1 and no backup.
They had no vision when took over and now there is no money either. Only Laporta's pals in the board and Xavi's brother as "expert advisors".
According to them it's ok if we win (we barely do) or lose ("we compete").
Very low bar these days.

They're coopting loser/underdog mentality now as it's a "new normal" as a cop out to their obvious failings. Damage control, as they say in PR speak.
