Tuchel would probably be great for one season but explode in the second. This job is even tougher than the Madrid one. So many Catalan clowns who want a piece of the club or who want to drive their own agenda.
Also Tuchel won't get any players so that's another negative factor.

Yeaaaah exactly that will happen

Personally, my opinion of Xavi is that he's a good manager, with a couple of red flags that he needs to really improve on. 1) In game management and reactiveness; 2) Not throwing tantrums

The Xavi out crew are treading a dangerous line in painting him as a complete bum, because that would mean the next manager we hire should be flying with this team...which I highly suspect will happen

3. having a brain for transfers and team selection
4 having a staff

Well that first season we spent 55m in the winter market on Ferran, and 6 months later 158m. So all being equal, the new manager should have the benefit of 200m investment to be compared on.

Of course things don't work like that.

Well you know by now, I'm not Xavi biggest fan, or rather I have seen his limitations earlier in the tenure than most. I also was for his signing though, and still believe for that point in time was the best selection.

My issue more than him staying (though the U-turn is an issue in itself) is that he committed to staying and three weeks later we have these stories break and still no denial.

It's a joke, it does the club no favours, it does Xavi no favours if he stays or goes, and it does any potential new manager no favours.

And if Xavi does go, valuable time that could be invested on strategising our new manager has been lost.

And lastly, obviously we can't linerally compare Xavi coming in after Koeman to this new guy coming in after Xavi. For one Madrid is much much better team and are signing the worlds best player. For two there are no transfer funds. So we are closer to the situation that Koeman was in post Messi.

Koeman had literally nothing except the kids he promoted. Nothing. No, the situation is bad but Koeman was absolutely playing with a relegation team and demanded to win it all.
It was not only the lack of players but even the few mid table ones like Bumbele was missing.
But the plastics totally came for our second biggest legend while they still suck it for Xavi.

Before judging if a manager has a brain for transfers, the club needs the funds to make those transfers happen. Then yes, if he gets similar funds to EPL teams, PSG, Madrid, and the club still can't match or even compete vs those sides... then we can say Xavi is clueless at this part.

But to say Xavi is shit at signing players... I can't do anything but laugh at it. He won a league title against Madrid with less than half their budget. I can only wish for the club to come back to normal top-team spending, fix the finances, and judge the current board and Xavi properly.

Transfer expenditure: €256,400,000. I presume this is without bonuses.
You are clueless as always. He had 200 000 000 to build a team for the future, he wasted 200 000 000 on benchers and bums to win a Simeone style liga for the plastics. Xavi put the final nail in Barcelona's coffin.

Such a bum, but the good part is that you have plenty of company.

200m is nothing today. I just posted a few pages ago the total squad cost in terms of transfers. It's lower than Everton. Madrid has a squad assembled for 800m - 1bn. And that's considering they are getting a 200m player as a free agent.

Why is it so hard to admit something so obvious? Making me waste time posting the same thing over and over again just because you are too ignorant to accept a bunch of easy to grasp, straight up facts.

Same period Real spent 200.

 

[Porque]

Xavi outspent Madrid in his first two seasons.

Even if you include this season, we still spent more over the past three seasons.

The fallacy is the manager being good or bad in signings. He should be needing profiles, giving input and then accepting what the SD brings.

Ancelotti doesn't chose Madrid's, Klopp didn't for Liverpool and Pep for City.

Xavi wanted Morata and got Auba who was a success. That should have been the sign.

While Laporta should have been wise enough after Cygrinskiy and season after season of Cesc si o si and rejecting the likes of Ozil and Modric. To know that the managers scouting is both limited and fallable.

The position of Madrid when Xavi came in the middle of that season was that of a CL + La Liga winner. Of course one of the top 2 teams in the world don't need to spend a huge amount since they already are the top dog in European football. Other teams need to spend to challenge the likes of City and Madrid and join them at that level. We're talking about the top 2 teams in Europe in the last 4 years by a distance.

It's so easy to dispute these claims it doesn't even provide any satisfaction anymore. It's just service job over and over again.

I will say, fans like us, who are sick and tired of the club's culture and politics, and want that to change. Tuchel is the perfect person for that.
We dont want another political and good-boy manager. Tuchel will be straightforward and will publicly criticize the board or the players if needed. We need that in our club right now.
The last time we had anything close was with Lucho. We need a straight talker and not this two-faced bullshit we be dealing with for so long.

 

[Porque]

Like Xavi, you are overrating yourself. The season before Xavi joined Madrid won jackshit while we won a trophy.

Also we were LaLiga champions so didn't need to spend this season either then I guess. By your failogic.

The squad Madrid had when Xavi signed for the club was that of a CL winner. Comparing the likes of Vinicius and Rodrygo with Demir, Jutgla, and Ilias Akomach or what was his name... Jesus Christ...

I hope for your sake you're trolling.
