Martinez or Koeman would be two atrocious appointments. And Allegri doesn't suit us at all.
Look how vital Klopp, Guardiola & Pochettino are and have been to their respective clubs - yet we are here, as the greatest football club in the world, collecting a bevy of bums.
Those 3 top-coaches has been given very much autonomy from the club. The clubs has shaped their institutional setup/sporting direction/transfers toward the managers wants.
Can we guarantee that? No, we can't. You need a 3peat to be guaranteed that at Real, probably something like that here as well. That is a great reason why top coaches are not keen to join us at all time - it is to be with the right timing. Even Valverde said no 2 or 3 times before accepting.
The patience of this club is only so long that maybe club legend and Cruyff reincarnated total football[SUP]TM[/SUP] Xavi will get 1-1,5 seasons without results before getting sacked.
We are so big and so demanding that even Pep doesn't want to coach us. That says something, because we are his loved club. The demands of the coach in barca are INSANE, and therefore not all want to do it.
If Pochettino was barca-fan I would buy him in a heartbeat, but he isn't, so all this "the board is retarded" is quite hollow when we can't even point to better options out there.
Maybe Setien can bring the better style back, but also the constant excuses when we lose (no class), and can he really bring in titles? Really big question. I've read that he is quite authoritarian, and that could be great in terms of benching Suarez/Busquets etc. and telling seniors to shut up and perform. Still, that appointment is risky, and I'd say there is as big a chance that Setien stays for 2 seasons as there is for him being fired before that - and that is not really rebuilding anything longterm, to me.
Oh, well in the end we can look forward to Xavi as headcoach and Pep as youthcoach in 5-7 years time (Victor Font as president), so after all there is something to be happy about after Messis retirement
