Because the last time we hired someone just because he was the assistant coach, we lost 7-0 to Bayern. It's an incredibly lazy pick.

You should be more respectful. Tito was ill and came back from therapy. While he was coaching the first half of season we looked very good.
We also won Last Liga with record points fyi.

If it is Unzue, then it will be very underwhelming, but I will at least give him the chance to prove me wrong.

So how's Unzue gonna improve the team ? Im pretty sure he's defensive person kind, I assume he has no plan to get team better at attacking stuff since him and Lucho got hired their whole offensive strategy been msn hence, rely on msn again.
And speaking of defense, after the treble we've been pretty much sucked at defensive part I don't know how he's gonna get it worked again.
And Im just talking about tactics and the team we don't know yet what kind of plan he has for signing players, does he prefer players like Arda/Gomes same as Lucho or he has other ideas.

Don't know why people hate Unzue that much. I actually believe he'd do very well.

People hate what they don't know. And also hate those who aren't look perfect solutions
It isn't like they just hate Unzue,they hate on Valverde when he was top candidate,they hated on Eusebio on B team despite being very good coach but didn't show the attractive football they loved and if he was the candidate he was gonna be hated. people also hate on Koeman.
In other words unless it is Jardim,the next coach is hated,a stupid choice,the board is incompetent etc.
I mean look at the poll man,3 of every 4 voted for Sampaoli because of half good season and the guy is leading the team to a downfall in the 2nd half,he is good for a short run but not for a marathon like we face every year but no one liked to look at that.



Do you know why players support the idea of Unzué becoming the next coach? Because they know him and very probably won't need to come out of their comfort zone. Could be that Unzué changes a lot, but I don't think that this is very likely.

I think Guillem Balague was right in answering Q&As:
@GuillemBalague Who do you see as the natural successor to Enrique at Barcelona?

GUILLEM SAYS...

"There isn’t such a thing as a natural successor to Luis Enrique but Ernesto Valverde will fit and tick more boxes than anyone else.

"Juan Carlos Unzue is backed by the players but you have to wonder what that means when players want the continuation of the idea; maybe they don’t want to be challenged in a different way. I have no doubt Unzue is a very good coach though."

Backing Unzue could be for very different reasons,those players are asked about next coach in every interview. if they don't back Unzue and he is hired that will backlash tbh. It is the nice and safe thing to do. I think few also gave some diplomatic answer.
Also assistant coaches doesn't necessarily follow same exact ideas their coaches used.

Winning the league with record points caused us to lose Thiago. Not a good thing.

Not sure I understand the correlation: how us winning the league with max points caused us losing Thiago? What Tito should have done: lose some games on purpose?

We had the league basically secured by November we had such a huge lead over both Madrid sides, and had in won in like, what, March? Even still Tito was actively chasing the 100 point total while sitting Thiago on the bench because he wasn't part of our starting XI, even though playing him in those games would have prevented him from leaving for 18m.

Educate yourself, really...

I got you... So it's not really the fact that we won the league with huge margin, it's the fact that there was missed opportunity to play Thiago on later games. As far as I remember Thiago got injured in the first half of the season and was given decent opportunities to play in second. On top of that he was not really a loyal Barca type of player in my opinion. We lost some money on him that's true, but players are not slaves, if they want out nothing you can do. Tito wasn't the manager I liked , because he started very well and he got sick, it's hard to tell what he was capable of, but I can't blame Thiago on him.

Thiago started something like two thirds of league games from February on in that season.

It is rubbish to say he was ignord as Barca went for 100 points.

That 7-0 should have happened long before it actually did. All the way back in the second leg of the supercup, when Tito was perfectly healthy.

Tito, Tata and Unzue type hires are exactly what we need to avoid. People will point to Pep and Lucho but they were not only notable players for us, they also did a great job with the B team, and Lucho did a decent job at Celta too. They weren't exactly well-known world class coaches, but there was some merit to the hires beyond muh Barca DNA. Even hiring Xavi would be a better idea than hiring Unzue.

Tito was hired for no other reason than being Pep's assistant coach and muh Barca DNA, Unzue would be the same, and Tata was hired out of desperation.

I'd take Valverde over Unzue.

It's time to put an end to the fact that Barcelona is the only big club in Europe basically not to have a real coach on the bench: names such as Conte or Klopp are necessary, in order to give this team a real wake-up call and to stop beating up a fuckin' dead horse.

No it didn't.

Thiago played plenty that season.

Not enough to stop his buyout clause from dropping, which could have easily been done.

He was as loyal as we could have hoped for while being logical. We had ample opportunity to play him more than he did, especially if we actually desired to keep him at the club and prevent his buyout from plummeting. He even came out and said the club did nothing to assure him things would be better next season, nor did they ask him to stay.
