What do you mean, what next manager? You guys really don't want me anymore?

Ten Hag is obviously a level above the rest given what he has shown already with Ajax.
But, mind you, Ten Hag or whoever it is, if not able to take brave decisions, like benching the old guard and breaking the locker room cliques and the 'Club de Amigos' mentality, and if not backed for those decisions by the board, then there is no hope...

This is Perhaps the biggest advantage Koeman has right now. He seems the only one with enough status to make those kind of decisions. I still feel that whoever comes in the summer (highly doubt EV will be sacked or resigns mid season), will be here only for one season, until the elections. Having that in mind, I wouldn't want to "burn" neither Koeman nor Ten Hag. Perhaps gambling on a wild card like Gallardo for one year is the way to go, hence my choice.

Well said! That's the most important job for the next coach.
Now Barca is known as a place where to go retire and make good money with your pals.

To be fair Koeman is maybe the most logical choice right now. As I said before Koeman, Gallardo and Ten Hag are my preferred choices but the more I think the more I see Koeman as the most logical choice at the moment. Currently we need a manager who can fill a 2-3 years gap before Xavi takes over and Koeman probably has the balls to make some bold moves which are necessity right now. I am not sure Ten Hag would be able to do that and as I mentioned above he has that language barrier problem. With Gallardo there is a big question mark since he hasn't coached in Europe yet. For example both Tata and Sampaoli failed in Europe big time.
On the other hand problem with Koeman and Ten Hag is that they won't be available until summer while Gallardo could be available after Copa Libertadores final (23rd of November) and that's his huge advantage right now.

Why am I left out of poll? I expect new contract. Until at least 2035. I deserved it. Better grabb me before other clubs snatch me, I'm wanted.

I would take anyone.
Give me Mourinho.
I don’t think I would even be mad if the results are the same. I just want Valverde gone.

This is like the biggest RM fan fiction - Mourinho going to Barcelona, making everyone there miserable and not improving the results
