Well yes and no. If you are proven then to an extent the club will give give more liberties to build your project. Take Klopp at Liverpool, sure they gave him time to build the project having had huge success at Dortmund. But also, he had more freedom because at the point of take over Liverpool was a very (or at best modesty) pressured club. There was no expectation to win anything instantly compared to Xavi coming in here or Nagelsmann going into Bayern.

But even so, Klopp is/was capped on signings (notorious example of him wanting Brandt over Salah) while if he were at Dortmund or Maine, he would have probably got his choice.

I'd say Arsenal would be in the same boat where they were a top level club in name but not expectation nor pressure. Klopp and Arteta get the can at Barca or Bayern for having the type of seasons they had at the beginning of their EPL tenures for example, at these respective clubs.

Regarding the second part, it shouldn't and hopefully it doesn't. Hopefully the board keeps strong, pays its lip service to the press about wanting Messi (back because which president would deny the return of the clubs greatest ever player) but doesn't make these backwards steps, and instead continues to work intensely on the new projects direction.

And yeah, if after the 23/24 season there is no growth in Xavi managing, and with all the remnants of the amigos hopefully gone (won't happen, already talk of an Umtiti esque renewal for Alba, fuck me) we can look at another opton.

Good post.

At Barca, Madrid, Bayern, if you don't win big titles and play nice football you are out quickly.

It all depends on the desires of one person? Okay, perfect management.

It would be a fuckin joke to relax FFP for Messi, but not for the long term health of the club. One helps the league short term, the other long term.

Fuckin Goof.

Tebas probably thought that Real Madrid would sign Mbappe or perhaps Haaland and give La Liga another young marketable superstar, but when Madrid signed no one- media partners and sponsors probably told Tebas to get some more star power and make their sponsorship deals worth it.

Xavi: "Messi? Let’s listen to fate if it's so wise… Let's see what happens, there's nothing yet. Let's see how willing he is. We are doing a disservice to Leo, to the club… We are one step away from success in the post-Messi era that we were so afraid of. This is success."

Q: Have you changed since your appointment as coach? Xavi: I've learned to tell players no and that I don't need them.
He studies. Responsibility is on him.
