Couldn't disagree more
It's his first year of building a new and very young team, and he is not doing badly.
Look at the underlying stats (xG for/against, and xPts) to see that Chelsea should have been 5 or more position above in the table if his players were not finishing terribly
In any case, he needs at least all of next season to make even a first proper judgment of his stint

Javi Martínez: "Flick's way of playing is total Barça. We played with him in the Pep style, with the centre-backs at the back and the ball coming out from there."
But do we give Xavi the same honour?
Cesc on being Barca coach
To be Barcelona's coach? It's something you can't know. I think I have to grow first, take steps... That's why I'm happy where I am, because I don't have a very high pressure," explained the one from Arenys de Mar.
on Xavi
"We have been in soccer for many years, we have seen everything and the truth is that it is difficult for you to be surprised by something, but I know Xavi person and player, but not as a coach. He is a very positive, cheerful person, he always wants the best, to win. He always believes in what he does, he looks forward. I thought Barça needed a person like that. You see his games and you see a lot of young kids, as Koeman did with Pedri, Gavi or Araujo, but he has made them go to another level, one step ahead. His moment has not been easy, but it is Barça, it is one of the three largest clubs in the world and, in the end, if the pressure of this club can with such a positive person as Xavi, obviously, it means that the pressure is very high," he said.
on Motta as next manager
"Bolonia de Motta does things that Barça has not done in recent years, he knows the house and I really like the football of his teams. I'm sure it could be adapted to the Barcelona system. At the football level, he is demonstrating a lot.

That is what I was thinking when read the reports that Deco is for Conceicao and Laporta for mighty FlickCan't believe what I'm reading here. Flick as Barca manager
Who ever thinks this is ok needs to be fired immediately. That absolute bum is just a Di Matteo 2.0
Conceicao is another bum. So not much to choose between those two.
