He is not ready! This idiots will now ruin him as a coach because he has slim chances of succeeding with this team. IMHO he is dumb as fuck if he accepts the job right now. He should prepare himself first for at least 2 more seasons and than take over when his former teammates retire. As much as I would like to see Valverde fired this is horribly wrong!

And when exactly is he ready? There are absolutely no metrics what makes a coach succeed. You can have twenty years experience and dont work out. Its all about how he clicks with the club and players. And you will only know that when you risk it.

We will hopefully rebuild our team next season and for that I would prefer Xavi over Ten Haag, Koeman, and half a dozen other guys (including Klopp). I want a coach who stands for Barcelona.

Its always a good sign when BBZ is opposed. How often did his predictions actually came true?

Lol.
Alexis being dumb.
Adama being dumb.
Bartra being average in skills and mentally shaky.
Samper being average in skills and mentally shaky.
Saying that Halil the new Messi is average on skills and very dumb.
Recognizing Dembele's IQ after two matches.
Malcom being Crystal Palace level of a player.
Semedo being braindead in attack.

My mistskes have been:
Mats, during his frosty days.
Having faith in Coutinho.
Defending Raki and Ev, but let's see what a future will tell about those two.
And a forum thinks that I am wrong about Arthur being extremely overrated. Again, let's see how that story will develop in the future and under a new coach...

I was wrong in some cases regarding player's skills and iirc, I was never wrong when I called some player as dumb, mentally scared or being a poor leader.

So, I'll repeat again and feel free to quote me in the future: Xavi doesn't seem to be a leader.
He was a master player in terms of technique and technique.
But he is a textbook example of a choir boy.

Our problem was always that we had too many choir boys among players.
Now we will have a choir boy coach leading choir boys players.
Sounds a perfect combination for a rocky times, lol.

Btw, Pep, Klopp, Zidane, Mou, Poch, Rijkaard were never choir boys.

Again, people will get angry and say that this is football and not boxing.
Still, Zidane, Rijkaard, Lucho, Pep were all kinda assholes as players and weren't pushovers.

You have to be kinda of an asshole and willing to fight to succeed as a coach:

Xavi was always the nicest person on a field.
Again, many will disagree.

But let's see how the nicest person on a planrt will lead the most expensive and the least motivated dressing room in a modern sport.
Football and coaching is way more than tactics.

I am not saying that EV is a great leader, btw.

And what is Valverde doing to change that? This set of players have some serious flaws, but the reason they're not utilized better either is because Valverde is garbage.

I've never seen people make any excuses for Tata Martino who had an inferior Messi who was throwing up on the field most of the time, first season Neymar, lots of injuries including Valdes which prompted him to use a DJ in goal.

Very very true. The amount of shit Tata got from Catalan video was insane. Guy got slaughtered by every pundit. Not only that, but he had to deal with a broken Cesc, Alexis who would destroy every goal scoring chance, and the midfield trio who were clearly fatigued since we had no proper backups at the time.

Valmierda has gotten a pass for everything. What else is remaining? Getting eliminated to Napoli? Losing La liga? We shall see just how much the board and the players will lick his ass

Remember when Tata got slated for having less possession than Rayo Vallecano? 5-6 years forward and no one bats an eye when Ernie parks a bus against anyone.

Give it a couple of months and BBZ will claim Pepe was the nicest person on the field as well.

For BBZ you're a too nice person and not worth having around if you're not pulling other players' hair, kicking them intentionally to break their legs.

Then why are you clinging to him? At worst we have one choir boy succeeding another. But we just dont know how cynical Xavi is as a coach, so its ridiculously superficial to call him soft. Thats my biggest gripe with your opinion, its all just assumptions while being incredibly self assured. I wont claim to know how Xavi works out, the only thing I have confidence in is the otherworldly ineptitude of Valverde.
