Yeah, that's right. There is just no obvious choice. For me there are just a few "top-managers"; Pep, Mourinho, Klopp, Ancelotti, and LVG. Klopp is really the most realistic option, but even to get him is quite unrealistic.

Now, if Manchester City are going to sack Pellegrini in the summer - could he be an option?

NO!

He is a very good manager but just lacks that something-that X factor.

I don't mind him as a stop gap replacement for Lucho but not long term.

You forgot Simeone but he's married to AM.

There is a dearth of top quality managers at the present time. This makes me think we will go for the flavour of the month eg someone like Nuno takes Valencia to top 3 then we will hire him.

Agreed but we speak about top replacements for this clueless Lucho but firstly there must be the will of the board to bring on someone else. I'm afraid they'll remain as deaf and as blind to the team's performances till the end of the season and that is worrying me the most.

Please no Pellegrini at Barca. I'd rather take Bielsa if Klopp won't come.
If Klopp gets Dortmund 12th place in B'Liga do you still want him?????


Oh yeah I'd want him totally !

1)AGree with you about the board!

2)Bielsa would have a mutiny on his hands in a couple of months. Our stars are treated with kid gloves.

3) Love Klopp but his style would need the sale and purchase of MANY players. Do you see someone like Busquets playing in a Klopp Barca??

Pellegrini, would make things only worse.

Anyways, sack the current board and appoint Frank de Boer. He. Is. The. Perfect. Coach. For. Us.

Klopp would probably implement af 4-2-3-1 formation. Why would Busquets not fit in there? I mean, he is used to play a doublepivot for his national side. I could see something like this if we brought in Klopp and gave him a transfer window (if we manage to shorten the ban to one transfer window...)

---------------- MAtS -----------------
RB - Mascherano - Mathieu - Alba
------- Samper --- Busquets -------
--- Reus ---- Messi ---- Neymar ---
-------------- Suarez -----------------

I like the line-up in theory but in reality this team would play the same counter attack style like Martino and people would whinge. Also, where is the creativivity from midfield?

Tata was crucified after winning 4-0 for losing possession against Rayo. Where the fuck is the media now why aren't they ripping Lucho a new one? We were playing great right until the Rayo game after which losing the holy possession turned everything to shit

This simple would not work, one of our wingers has to provide workrate. Perhaps not in every league game but in a high caliber CL game he HAS to track back. I simply just do not see that happening with this line up.

i'm the same. and now im against people who want koeman, de boer, rudi garcia, pellegrini, mancini, hiddink or any other second rate as our coach. none of them is top class. and unless we get a top class manager we'll always be in deep sh**

Well, getting a second rate coach would still be an improvement. Lucho is at best a fourth rate coach and Tata maybe third rate.

Hiddink, Laudrup and Rudi Garcia would help us immediately. At least they have a clear vision of play. And they wouldn't already lose the dressing room three months in.

Only Leo Messi (9) has given more assists for Barça this season than Luis Suárez (3). And the latter played only 4 games (293 minutes).
This shows how crippled our MF is .

"
my god... at least if you guys want lucho out don't mention another second rate coach as his replacement. lucho out and koeman in? it will be the same story all over again. the only current top coaches are klopp, mourinho, pep, simeone, ancelotti. anyone else is second rate and won't cut it at barca. and out of those coaches who i've listed klopp is the only possible choice, unless we can somehow get heynckes out of retirement which would be ideal if he hasn't lost his touch. but this will happen in a dream world, even getting klopp. we'll prolly get another pal as our coach with a history at barca and lie to ourselves that he knows how barca roll despite him having no background. f*** this sh**


You are aware that Koeman has done wonders at Southampton !??

They sold about 18 of their best players and Koeman has brought in 15 new players and they are a close second in the EPL !!

Exactly .
Crazy to keep Suarez on the bench when the ONE thing he needs is GAMES !!!

Also crazy to see that Suarez is playing better than anyone else in the flamin team and he's only been here ten minutes and had a 5 month layoff !!

There is no place for Reus in Barca anymore unless they're going to get rid of Messi and Iniesta to make room for him.

Also, where is Iniesta in your line-up? The guy is not dead and buried. He might have been rusty and poor for a while, doesn't mean he's done for good.
