Josep Maria Bartomeu

[JerseyAddict]

Imagine Capello or Mou or LVG or Magath...
Players that came to them to "exchange" ideas and "discuss" tactics?

What a sad way to run the team. Defuse the situation. Jesus... What a downfall.

 

[Barcaman]

It's basically to Setien: "Look we'll keep you for another year if you don't rub the seniors the wrong way".

Basically like a supervisor.

This wouldn't work if we hired managers with many options. This works only with likes of Valverde, Setien, managers who don't have anywhere else to go but way down after Barca.

Top managers have a "my way or the highway approach". You either give them full powers or they don't even come in the first place. Because they know they will soon get a managerial job at some other top 10 team.

Likes of Setien, Valverde, are easy to corner into a situation where they accept compromise. Resulting in them being only half-managers. If they want to change some things that rub the veterans the wrong way, they'll not even mention it, because they know the veterans will react in a negative way.

There is a reason we don't have this type of managers anymore. For better or worse their approach won't work nowadays.
Managers ability to handle the egos of players is like 50% of his job in big club.

No offense khaled_a_d, but our veterans are a combination of ego, laziness and self-entitlement that is impossible to be handled even by likes of Pep or Klopp.

I give them this next season to prove us they can still win, at least on domestic level. If Madrid repeat the Liga next year, the veterans are totally done.

Right now, things are pretty clear. The pressure is on them big time.

Also, I hope you don't think EV had the ability to manage egos. The ability to manage egos is to impose your ideas and make the veterans apply them on the field. This is not what EV did. EV gave them the reigns of the team.

That bit with Pique flat out insulting EV and then bragging about it in the media tells you everything you need to know about how respected or valued EV was in reality. They loved him because they could do pretty much as they pleased with him.

I didn't even speak about our veterans, just stating that this type of coaches went to extinction.

Not at all. It is one of the defining traits of elite managers. That profile of manager is very rare. True. Extinct? No way.

Pep, Klopp, Simeone, Zidane all share power and ultimate executive decision in the team.

They should be done either way. Our veterans are pushing 35.

"We already have seven new signings. Pedri, Trincao, Fernandes, Pjanić, Araujo, Fati and Riqui."

What are the odds of Fernandes staying out of that group? probably low I have to imagine but I will be shocked if he ends up staying.

Non of those are same characters as aforementioned coaches. Like at all.

 

[El Gato]

Not true either. Zidane has as much power as the managers before him.

 

[DonAK]

Piece of shit.

 

[Vilarrubi]

A group of socios are preparing the launch of a vote of no confidence against the current board of Barcelona. [via cadena ser]

 

[Andresito]

A group of socios are planning a vote of no confidence against Bartomeu. They want to do it digitally (because of the virus) but I also think this is a very good way of collecting signatures, which is also why I don't think the club will allow it.
