Switching from Koeman to Martinez, Pirlo or Xavi is fixing one problem with another.
Xavi?s top experience is coaching at Qatar level, which is basically semi-pro, Pirlo failed at every aspect of at Juve and Martinez had Belgium?s best generation ever and actually accomplished to make them look bad and underperformed.

Xavi will come sooner or later, I think Laporta realize that he has nothing to lose now and take the risk, but we might still have to wait until the end of the season since the whole money situation.

Entitled fans deserve this manager for how they treated Valverde
Upon reading all the shit that was said I've accepted this fan base gets what it deserves
I'm going for a break for a while until new manager is in.

We need a some wingers in this team, someone like Darwin last night. If you look at all big teams they all have someone who can punish you with pace and receive the balls in behind defense. We don't have these players. Last night, against Benfica, they defended with a high line, none of our attackers were quicker than their defenders, so when the through ball came (for Depay or Roberto) the defenders just regrouped. We are very one dimensional team, we cannot counter, we just build up from the back and lately we whip in bad crosses that never find anyone.
So, I don't think Xavi or Pirlo or Martinez can do something exceptional with this team. For 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 you need pacy wingers like we had: Pedro, Henry, Neymar or nowadays: Gnabry, Coman, Mane. You're not gonna have any results playing slow ass players like Gavi, Roberto, Depay on the outside and play (or don't) through balls to them. The only player with pace that we have is Dembele witch is injured all the time (and is dumb). So, lately, I kind of sympathize with Koeman, unfortunately he doesn't have the players to be at the top, he doesn't have the players needed to make a functioning system.

If we have to pay Koeman 12ME now or 6ME+salary until the end of the season shouldn't make a difference. And rumours were that we have the money to sack him after the Griezmann deal, but who knows.
I guess the only question is whether he's gone before or after Atletico. I can't see him surviving this (unless we truly don't have the money, which would be comical).

Laporta must have gone senile if that's the truth. He was a Juve legend and they booted him out in one season.

Anyone else bothered how he always blames the team and says things like "But what can you do with a squad like this?".
How come clubs like Young Boys who won against MU, Club Burgge who drew against PSG and Sheriff who beat Real don't have the problem of "having a shitty squad"? Have you ever heard the coach of Sheriff saying "But what can we do, we are just a poor ass club from Moldova?"
Guy has absolutely zero clue about football and coaching.

Exactly. If this is the case it's truly messed up.
Laporta needs to start consider move to farmers league (France).
LaLiga wants to bankrupt Barca.
