How the heck do some of you feel like he's going to resign or that he should resign? He got plagued with cancer and we have no clue how the season could've been if he was healthy. It's only his first season. I highly doubt he will step down or that Rossell will fire him. He's staying for sure.

He should stay, every great team gets smashed once at least

Barçapocalypse NOW!
As culés he have a personal attachment to guy, so it's hard to point the finger at him, however, his health is a distraction both to him and the team...
Anyway, I do think we really need to shake the boat, so if he stays he better come up with some new tactics or system, or better ways to apply the current one, because otherwise we are going to keep making the same mistakes...
In my opinion a coach that doesn't have to deal with the shadow of Guardiola is badly needed at the club...

I fully agree with u. Just as how we need new players, the same way we need to incorporate new tactics together with what we already have. In that way we don't end up being 1 trick ponies and predictable. Let's see if Tito is up to that challenge. He failed miserably against Bayern in my opinion, but I'm going to give him another season with us and let's see how things go.

What makes you think he's going to resign?
Changes are afoot, however, I have no doubt...These next few months will be pretty important going forward, I believe...The choices the board makes will lay the blueprint for what will follow...Will players leave, even key ones?...Will the emphasis on the cantera wane?...Will we see a revolving door at the club again, whether it's coaches or players?
Perhaps I'm a bit cynical in thinking this way but I feel like the seeds for change were planted during Pep's last season from Rosell et al...But as far as Tito is concerned, yes he had to battle through cancer but there are no doubts questions being asked internally whether Vilanova is the man to lead the team that was inherited from Pep...Barcelona looked anemic on a number of occasions in the 2nd half of the season, the key stretch really - PSG & Milan were precursors to the debacle in Munich...Too easy to just point to injuries, there was a sharpness and aggression that has been absent too often
Plus, let's face it, many things were poorly handled...Bartra, why wasn't he played more and groomed into our platoon of regular CBs instead of buying Song?...Tello & Montoya, who decided to treat them like persona non grata for stretches of the season instead of maintaining competition and keeping a squad fresh?...Alexis, I mean I realize he has done great with assists but he's provided zero help in the scoring department or alleviating the burden on Messi dependence - yet he continued to play...Same could be said for Thiago who seemed to be out of the pecking order in favor of Cesc who still doesn't have a defined position in the team
Complacency is a killer in sport, which is why you so rarely see a team dominate for very long, particularly in football...And in fairness to the players, they've won a helluva lot in the last 5 seasons, utterly dominant...Just begs the question of what comes next

All of you who are against Tito Vilanova should stop it! Where was Barca before Guardiola & Tito Vilanova?? the tiki-taka football that we all like and because of which we dominated the world football for 5 years, how proudly we say look Barca is playing with 10 home grown players. Do you guys think a new coach will be able to continue all this?? The answer is No! no other coach can better understand the system that was created by Pep & Tito. If it was possible then all the coaches and teams around the world who try to copy Barca's style would've achieved it. What is the guarantee that new coach will continue all this and what if the new coach has his own ideas of football and refused to give LaMasia his top priority? would anyone of you like to see crown jewels leaving Barca? Thiago, Samper, Deulofeu,? Even Eusebio, the B-team coach cannot play implement the system in our B-team.

And how can any coach leave the shadow of guardiola, If the fans start crying if the team doesn't win a double or a triple every season and where losing a single trophy is a disaster to them.
It's been said many times, This team is a victim of it's own success.

tiki taka will continue because of xavi and messi and iniseta! it's not matter which coach be on the bench! also i believe this footbal is not tiki taka, this is just passing and passing, and because of that, i don't know whether tito had a part in our tiki taka style or it's just because of pep!
playing with home-grown players is a very good thing but not in any case, when we are losing our titles and creativity because everyone in the team are similar! all of them think alike! we are very predictable!and the worse thing is this: even our coach think like them, so our team hasn't any new idea!
we created tiki taka but there are a lot of coaches who learned it and their team is very similar to our team! like laudrop and klopp! BVB is not playing with passing system but as klopp always says barca's style has a very big effect on their football! they are pressing very fast and good, scoring with a lot of pass behind of penalty area, and... and we are losing all of these!
many teams can't play like us because they haven't xavi, iniesta or messi and ...! and what if our new coach's idea make a very very good success? next year w can win la liga again, because with these players we can easily beat osasuna and ... but in cl? so let's try something new! let's be brave! even water will be Stenched if stays in his place!
i think we need a new idea out of club but not far from our philosophy! i'm sure we can dominate europe with wenger or klopp again!
la masia is not club's top priority! la masia helps team to gain his top priorities! and be sure even a blind coach will not kick out someone like gerard or samper! but maybe kicks out someone like pedro!
finally i don't think club fires him (if tito doesn't resign and i know he won't)!
---------------------
the last thing: i read in news barca assured tito will be our coach, next year! even though i said we must change our coach, but if he stays, i support him an hope buy some world-class player for him!

lol Such nonsense. I bet Heynckes knows the Barca philosophy better than Tito. This is what Heynckes said before the CL draws:
Heynckes: “If we do draw Barcelona, we’ll be ready. I know them like the back of my own hand, maybe even better than my own team … I know their philosophy, their system, their tactics and all their players.”
Also Bayern play a lot more like Pep's Barca (possession with high intensity pressing and youth players like Alaba, Kroos, Müller, Shaqiri as central figures) than Barca does under Tito. Except that they are so balanced that they can even live without having the ball and execute counterattacking football. They have basically adopted the best of Barca (pressing + possession) and Madrid (lethal on the break). Can't believe Bayern are replacing him. If our board had some sense they'd immediately offer him a contract.
Let's not pretend that Tito is the best option because he's from La Masia. La Masia doesn't exclusively produce Messis, Xavis, Puyols and Peps. It also produces crap more often than not. Including players and coaches.
Valdes is hoofing the ball upfield all season long and losing us possession because we can't win aerial duels after his goalkicks and no one is telling him to stop it. Hello, Tito?! Are you watching?
Please remind me - who was the coach who said Alex Song could play as a centerback?
Laudrup would be another option who probably knows more about Barca's philosophy (having first-hand experience under Cruyff's management) than Tito. He'd also be a charismatic figure and footballing icon whom players would respect which would be automatic motivation (imagine Iniesta under Laudrup, he'd probably learn how to score goals).
People will be surprised when we'll invest big money in star names like Hummels and Neymar and the problems will still remain. The overall organisation of this team is leaving a lot to be desired since day 1, regardless of the players. You could sense something was wrong the day Madrid raped us in the Supercopa.
The last time Barca conceded 60+ goals in a season was in the Gaspart era.
