Josep Maria Bartomeu

[jamrock]

We will become the new arsenal under him, the same thing the win first segment of the Barca fan base would accuse the identity & philosophy first segment of the fan base of, is what we will become & to a small extent have become under him.

Except we don't even have good football & a few masia players we can identify with to ease the hurt when the results go south.

 

[Barcaman]

Lost me at Arsenal. Comparing club that never wins titles to another that wins every year.

 

[jamrock]

Barca are in la liga with a player named Messi, we are ways going to win la liga every few years, especially since that's where he seems to be putting in all the effort these days.

But just like arsenal we have been signing crap players recently and then is now forced to spend big on players to try to readjust, & just like them we are slowly losing our shine & fear factor in Europe

 

[BarçaBarça]

Too bad he didn't call elections, like it was rumoured earlier this season. Socis mood might have changed a little after seeing Valverdes way of playing and the CL-knockout.

 

[FC B]

Was referring to the CL. He's doing it with Liverpool, which are not as resourceful as Barca.

And also o did it with BVB which isn't by chance at all.

 

[DonAK]

MD claiming the board have set the CL and then the league as priority for the next season and while they appreciate the efforts of the team in the Copa del Rey, they do not want the team or the best players to spend too much energy on it from now on as the first team need to be in shape for the CL come April rather than the Copa madness during January and February.

 

[LeeRomeno]

Lets be honest though, there is not a single manager worthy of this club. Everyone sucks.

And the board suddenly realized that lol, its up to EV which cups he does prioritize over and i think its still league,cdr > cl for EV.

Stegen, Umtiti, Coutinho, Demebele are crap players. Ok. Carry on.

I think he meant we don't have a balanced team, Messi playing alongside players like Gomes and Paulinho. And with EV's tactics and formation, Barca's is not getting the full potential of players like Demebele, Busquets and Coutinho.

 

[Cule4life]

Maybe he meant our board is like Arsenal only interested in finances and no vision/courage to make brave decisions.

 

[FC B]

Sport says : Josep Maria Bartomeu: "It's false that we wanted to sack Ernesto Valverde".

Here it goes the 1% chance I hoped for though I agree there isn't much to chose from the available managers atm.

 

[pepi]

If every coach in the world was free this summer they couldn't choose a good one. The sad truth.

 

[Devils]

They cannot sack him after winning the double. It would make us look like a circus and we would be ridiculed.

Only way he leaves is if he steps down himself.

Winning a double is not of a big achievement for Barcelona for the past decade. Our aim is much higher and I'm not talking about trophies only.
