“If there are no trophies, you’ll kill me!”: Why Xavi and Barça parted ways NOW
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 май 2024
- After another loss this past weekend, Xavi announced that he will be leaving Barcelona come the end of this season. As of June 30th, 2024, Xavi will have parted ways with Barcelona. He didn’t pull too many punches during his announcement, unafraid to highlight how he felt like he wasn’t valued at the club, and that it was a thankless job where no matter what he did, he was relentlessly criticized by the media storm that follows Barcelona.
Well, to the fans who called for Xavi’s head, they got their wish. But what happens next, given Barcelona’s financial situation? Can they afford to take the “German route” that Laporta wanted? And with Tuchel’s recent comments, will he be considered?

Xavi has physically aged 10 years since becoming the manager..
Like Pep aged quickly when he started vs when he ended his Barca job
Like Obama aged
I don’t see that at all, looks the same to me as he did when he played for Barça. Which is a compliment to him!
you can't be fr just look his annoncement vs the last matchs he looks like a dead man walking@@michaelgray5958
That job sucked
It's not just Ter Stegen missing but also the departure of Busquets that has the defense crumbling.
they have an 885 million dollar squad, when does the manager get some blame?
@@omgronny9572 $ does not = talent fuck people are stupid
Frenkie…
@@omgronny9572 did I say the manager gets no blame?
@@omgronny9572 Who said the manager gets *no* blame? It's a video about the guy leaving, and people are talking about things that contributed to the struggles of the club in the past few seasons - bringing up Ter Stegen and Busquets seems completely reasonable to me. Of course the manager made mistakes, and it's completely fair to say that he's too green for a job like this, but I don't think it's crazy at all to say that circumstances made his life harder
As a Madrid fan, i completly agree with Xavi. The barca Real jobs are like no others. This is why there was never a spanish version of Alex Ferguson. Even pep said he was tired after 4 years of managing Barcelona. If these clubs go 3 games without a win, then there's already questions about the quality of the manager. After Real's loss to city last season EVERY fan was calling for Carlo's head. Even if he won Copa del rey, fans still wanted him out. Only the unreal form of this season saved him.
this is a great point and i feel like people don't really understand how insane the Barca and Real jobs are. The fans are used to domination and competitiveness in a way that no other team really is - MAYBE Manchester United, but a decade of flops has made even that job seem a different beast. I honestly sometimes can't believe the stuff that some fans of Barca and Real are willing to say about managers, but you also can't blame them. Dominate so much for so long, domestically and in Europe, and both the floor and the ceiling are so unreasonably high
Nobody wanted Ancelotti’ head for losing last year against City... Most Real fans expected to loose, myself included. And after the previous year’s many upsets, he had more than enough credit to stay.
Real Madrid manager job is extremely demanding, that much is true, but not in this case.
Nobody in real Madrid questioned Carlo last season...having said that there is a huge difference between Xavi and Carlo
Madrid is like that... it's called accountability.
@@pablov1323 You haven't been on twitter/ Reddit
You’re always nice about how you talk about footballers. It’s really refreshing considering everyone loves being a critic and assholey. Keep it up Adrian. Love your videos.
Barca only have themselves to blame for their current state. Relied on Messi to carry them post xaviesta, spent the neymar money poorly, and didn’t know how to balance wage books once messi merchandise was no longer a reliable income stream. Bought players like raphinha lewa and torres for too much money to only have short term success. And most importantly, lacked accountability for their shortcomings, always pointing the finger rather than looking in the mirror.
Hope the guy gets a solid gig at a good team with less absurd pressure, and more freedom. At times has looked like a serious manager for the future.
I think for Xavi, the Barcelona job was too much pressure on him. He should have went to a mid-table team like Getafe for example in order to gain some experience coaching in La Liga. Hope he does well wherever he goes, because he's a likeable and respectable character
He will thrive in the premier league, his ability to unite the team is very good
Winning the league last season put a lot of pressure on the whole team. This is still a team with a lot of work to do with a lot of issues. We should celebrate that they won la Liga and accept that Barcelona aren't good enough to be in pole positions to win titles for the coming years. As fans we gotta have patience and humble our expectations. The club is in shambles.
In many ways, Barça winning the league became Xavi’s poisoned chalice. The fans wrongfully thought that Barça was back, when it was and still is a work in progress.
We need Laporta to tell it like it is, but he won’t do that because he wants to get reelected. I agree, though that we need to be realistic of the situation at hand and rally behind the boys. Hopefully, some of the Messi fanboys and glory hunters will fall off the bandwagon.
Winning the league last season was too soon. I’m glad Barca won it, but I wasn’t expecting it tbh
what? XD, he had no form from the beggining, watching him play was aids, he shouldnt be ever signed, HE IS WORSE THEN KOEMAN
What Gündugan said after the 2-1 loss against real Madrid is enough to know it's not Xavis fault, well except for the not benching lewandoski part
Feel bad for the guy. Decent young manager who has gone through a lot because of shitty higher ups and players letting him down
lmao shut up, watching him play was aids, he shouldnt be ever signed, HE IS WORSE THEN KOEMAN
It NEEDS to be Mourinho... FINISH THE STORY!!!
Similar events but contrasting situations define the differences between both clubs.
Liverpool has a sense of unity and acceptance over Klopp's announcement.
Barcelona has a sense of foreboding doom and disunity which has plagued the club since Enrique left the club.
The reward Xavi got for winning the club with the most mediocre Barca team vs the patience and support Klopp was given after a torrid season.says a lot.
Greatly summarised as always by Adrian. CEO Steve has Developed you well.
It's because of the club always feeling entitled to success no matter what the situation is. If this squad was European giants like the old, it would have been justifiable. But when they are not, and still feel like this, is delusional.
Klopp came at Liverpool when the club was at their lowest, and fans were accepting of that reality, something you do not see with Barca. This made Klopp's job easier, as expectations were low and so the pressure.
The only time I felt like that with Barca was when Koeman was sacked and Xavi first arrived at the club, and that is the time that he actually thrive at the club, barring performance in Europe, obviously.
Busquets leaving was a massive blow to the team. Romeu and Frenkie doesn’t work. Frenkie plays best in a pivot and he’s never been able to play in that position throughout his whole time at Barca and I don’t see it happening if you have gundogan, Pedri and Gavi in midfield too. Selling Frenkie would probably be the best financially. Who will take over Busquets role? That’s something the club really needs to ask themselves
Using injuries as an excuse for your defense falling apart is rich considering Real has the best defense in the league without the starting GK, both CBs and Mendy, Carvajal and Lucas all having missed games too. And they've collectively missed more games too.
Either you make it work or you don't, but no excuses. He knows this can always happen in football, injuries are part of the game.
Spot on
As a Madridista, I feel bad for Xavi. Not his fault that higher ups ruined Barca financially. Look what Xavi has to work with, plus not to mention injuries to Gavi and Ter Stegen. It’s a terrible situation. Madrid needs a strong Barca and Barca needs a strong Madrid to push each other.
xavi is an mr excuse. youre not a real madridista if you tolerate lame excuses like the sun and grass not being perfect
Same ngl.
I can live with Real Madrid winning the league 10 years in a row
I agree in a way. Barca’s mismanagement has crippled him and it’s not his fault; my brother is a Barcelona fan and I always say it’s a shame that there’s so much wrong in the pitch and they can’t even fix it cause they need a DM, a competent right back, expansive wingers and a quality striker. They can’t get any of that without selling Araujo, or De Jong which would make them even worse, and then it would cripple them elsewhere. It’s just a huge clusterfuck. And now how can they even get quality players in when they look like such a dumpster fire?
As a Barça fan, I totally am in agreement with you, and echo your sentiment that we need each other in order to push each other to the next level. Spanish football wouldn’t be the same without your team🔴🔵🤝⚪️⚫️
Lol Im glad you poured a little cold water on the Klopp prospect but not enough. The chances of him going to Barca are essentially zero. He worked hard to keep LFC both successful and within FFP limits. The idea he'd move to an absolute financial trainwreck like Barca is really a wild thought to imagine. I knew his resignation was coming sooner than later, no matter when he announced it to the wider world, those of us who've watched him for the better part of a decade could see the body language. It was coming.
Barca fans have truly lost their minds
It is the casuals nowadays. Who have no patience, no understanding of the process and no understanding of how managerial football works. It is happening at every club. This casuals just want their club to win so they can 'maybe post on Instagram, or on their story about how their club is the best in the world'. I have been a supporter of Barca for a long time. It pains me to say that Xavi is going. We did not win a League for 4 years, he won us that, we started dominating against Real. And 5-6 bad months filled with injuries, players not performing and suddenly he is not good enough? Just down right embarrassing behaviour from Barca fans. Deserved so much. Not because of what he did as a player but because he indeed was doing great as a manager. Hopefully, one day he comes back. Modern football requires time. Pep took 7 years at City to complete a treble winning team. Kloop has been at Liverpool for 9 years. Football needs TIME. Football fans has a short memory. Unfortunately. 💔

Feel bad for Xavi. The way the board are acting they're bound to put off future managers at this rate.
Adrian I started watching your channel from 2 years , I have to say in my opinion this is the best youtube channel around football . May god bless you and hope you keep doing good.
The biggest misses for Barca defensively are Alba and Busquets. Those two knew when to be aggressive and when to drop off due to their experience and how to slow the tempo of the game to their teams benefit.
Garcia Pinienta is a great candidate but Laporta will have to grovel and beg to get him to join after his sacking from Barca B
Alba wasn't playing last season, it was 80% Balde already. Busquets was huge though
I think that they were also strong presences in the locker room. They were also good friends with Xavi, so they would make sure that everyone gave their all on the pitch in order to see Xavi succeed. Now, Barça is greatly lacking in that kind of player leadership which is why the team is so lackluster.
Another factor is dembele, man was the only player who took 1v1s and succeded
Ironically Barca fans were calling to get rid of both Busi and Alba last year non stop lol Calling them liabilities, "too slow", "finished", etc. Now this season they are claiming their absence is the reason of the decline lol These lot just talk for the sake of talking. They don't even know what their own opinions are. They just attack players for the sake of attacking them. Too feel like they're relevant somebodys. To have a go at some successful famous people....From the depths of their basements on their smart phones and computers. This is the modern generation. They haven't been punched in the face enough so they have zero respect for others and all talk like they're KING SHIT. Everyone to them is a "clown" or "fraud" or "finished" and should "cope" or "cry" if they disagree with their retarded hot takes. This is the intellectual level of these lot.
Thank you for the work you do & creating such great content like this. Your videos are a breath of fresh air in the current climate compared to the coverage from mainstream syndications. Great vid as always! 🫡
Even as a Madrid fan: Respect to Xavi.
A legend of the game, one of the best ever players and someone who stayed loyal to his club.
Now even leaving on his own to save the club some money.
The Barca fans should show him some love and thank him for everything he‘s done, even if the results weren‘t always perfect as a manager.
I wish him the best.
I think it’s hilarious that in the middle of all of this mess, Laporta finds time to specifically dedicate to trying to baselessly slander Real Madrid for absolutely no reason. It’s ridiculous 😂
I’m a Barca fan but I think that Barcelona is too focused on Real Madrid than Barcelona
Baselessly?? All of Spain can see how favored Madrid are lol. Like they don’t even try to hide it anymore
Crazy that Tuchel cares so little about Bayern... that was blatantly shameless to say that at a fan convention
And that's coming from a manager that, relatively speaking, "had it easy", as he is a legend of the club and the press and fans have gone easier on him that they would have with any other manager (to clarify, I'm not saying that he's wrong, just that other managers have had it much worse than he has).
Plus he’s a Catalan
It's actually sad to see this happen again and again to our legends that go into coaching. The amount of pressure on their coaching career based on their playing career is insane.It's not secret why managers like De Zerbi or even Iraola have made great progress with their teams.
I feel bad for Xavi... Honestly it was a dream that was talked about for years and some thought he could bring the glory days back to Barcelona. But he came at a time when the club's finances are an absolute shambles and couldn't find proper players of certain quality to fill the gap of some important players like Sergio Busquets.
But people need to understand that the Barcelona job isn't like any other Job. Managaers like Sir Alex Ferguson, Jürgen Klopp, Arteta were given time and patience to build their teams and projects, and these managers achieved amazing results, or in the case of Arteta... Still building his squad. Xavi didnt have the pieces lined up like Pep Guardiola did and no one can say he didnt have the mentality, as the mentality of being the Manager for Real Madrid or Barcelona is too much. Even Pep, Barcelona's most successful manager after 4 years of a mountain of success was exhausted.
Regardless, I wish Xavi all the best.
As a barca fan this perplexes me. On one hand I get that he's to blame for the poor tactics and performances this season. However, on the other hand, he won us La Liga last season, Gavi is out for the rest of the season, Lewandowski and Gundogan aren't performing, Ter Stegen has just gotten back from an injury. Overall it seems unfair to him especially with the financial constraints the team has been under. We can't even attract a top tier replacement for him and if we could no money for the next 2 transfer windows. A real conundrum for Barcelona.
I just love your videos Adrian..
Another fantastic watch 👊🏿🙌🏿
He faced the least criticism among the recent managers. Especially after Pep. And he knew very well what he was getting into.
Well you know what they say. Everyone has a plan until they get punched
Well goog luck trying to find a good replacement after that treatment of a legend
I think that nobody will "kill" him if dont win single trophie.Under Xavi we play bad(this season),and bad play is reason why some fans criticises him,not if he dont win any trophie.He lost to Athletic Bilbao,Villareal(who is very bad this season)...this is problem,bad game.If he finish 2nd in La Liga,go to final of Champions League,final of Spanish and Super Cup,no one normal will blames him.But problem is that he lose with high result to Real and Athletic(Barca can be lucky if they dont lose with worser result than 4-1 to Real),its question if he stay in top 4 in La Liga,he lose to Athletic in quarter final,and he will definetly be knocked out to Napoli...these are main problems why fans dont have hope in him anymore.
Not a barca fan but I feel for Xavi. The circumstances around his barca return have been dreadful not entirely his fault. But he was completely unproven, managing in Qatar is nothing compared to managing Barcelona, especially this iteration of barca. Tuchel messed up already calling Catalanes Spaniards lol
I coach youth soccer up to age 8. I like when the kids play goalie because that is the one position where you get to look at the whole field. You truly start learning how to look at the game from that position. I imagine at the professional level it's the same thing the goalie has the best view. This means the type of communication that goes on from the goalie to his defenders becomes very crucial. I truly am convinced that ter stegen's absence has played a massive role in the struggle of the defense. Typically the goalie is placed in its own category but let's not forget that it's still part of the defense. Especially with such young defense a player like to stay in becomes more than crucial.
They said Barca is better than Madrid in case of treating their human resources. It seems no big club in Spain treat their people good😂
He got humbled really quick
Hey, great vid, thx! I understand #5 in La Liga will still be worth a CL spot as the two leagues with the highest UEFA coefficient (PL+LL most likely) get an extra spot. R Sociedad are 8pts behind Barcelona, so I guess they will manage that. ;)
It would depend on how many laliga clubs go far into UCL, Europa and Conference league.....😐
@@myownlilbubble yeah, it won't be as easy as I had thought. Thx!
Hi Adrian, how do you record narration over your slideshow of images? Do you record yourself on camera first and then add the images after? What if you only use a slideshow and not your face how do you add the narration so it is in sync with the audio ? Cheers
We have same sight on football. You do a Great job on YT. /Osasuna Fanatic
Barcelona need someone like Ancelotti. Ancelotti was 4th choice for Perez but when all the door were shut because of a mess we were in, Ancelotti swooped in and here we are. He isn't a revolutionary, little bit too stubborn for his own good at times but he's experienced. He knows how to handle superstars, how to make them play for team while giving them indivisual freedom on the pitch. Ancelotti never excuses when we lose, he talks shit at times just to get into opponent's head. He's absolutely unbothered by the sudden changes in the winds as people call for his head after just one loss all season. Thats the price you pay for being the best I guess. I hope Barcelona would find someone like him to steady this ship. Real Madrid needs Barcelona to be competetive to bolster the league as well as be competent enough in europe
The fact we don't have Gavi and busquets, the two key players in our 4 man box midfield that made us pressure like hell, which makes it so much easier for the opponents to attack us with space and comfort to make decisions and be dangerous.
The injury of iñigo Martinez who was supposed to be a key player, Araujo not being at his best since his injury, the rest of the defense having a terrible drop in form and ter stegen's injury, which makes them second guess everything, like you said.
It was the perfect remedy for disaster which Xavi could do nothing to fix.
This season was a perfect mix of everything: bad luck with injuries, the bad sporting decisions and signings showing their face, terrible individual form, lack of concentration, toxicity, and xavi's inexperience as well.
I'm very sorry for him and I doubt many managers would've been able to manage this season much better, but I do think a new manager, with more experience and back bone, will help the club, but sadly it was Xavi who had to deal with this perfect storm, it'll be easier for the next manager next season in my opinion.
I hope Xavi can become an amazing manager one day, I hope this toxic environment changes and I hope he can come back as a coach in the future, in a better scenario.
Adrian you forgot to mention something crucial... the new manager needs to be close to J. Mendes
Arteta would never leave arsenal especially not now with how good they are doing. He legit loves the team its not just a manager job to him.
Mou was constantly crucified by the media and he didn't cry like xavi
Very true lol
Feels bad for the guy. He won them a league in his first full season and even then, Barça fans complained he's not playing tiki-taka. And how in hell replacing Dembele, Busquets, Alba, Fati, Griezmann, Kessie, Abde & Nico to oldies trio Gundogan, Romeo & Martinez (with 2 loanies) is an upgrade? Barça's board and fans are a different breed - delulu toxic. No wonder, Pep leaves and do not seem to returning anytime soon. I wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool/Chelsea/Arsenal/Newcastle/Real Sociedad/Athletic going after Xavi in the future.
Becoming the manager of Barcelona is the best and the hardest thing you can do in the football management/coaching world.
Man the media is so crazy. Blames Xavi reading too many stories and letting it get to his head, while being the ones adding so much more pressure onto the already heavy weight on his shoulders.
This just shows, how much Xavi was not prepared for the show.
He was spoiled, by coming from a team that win everything, entering on scene has the savior, he was already thinking that the bad days did not come.
Its completely diferent of beeing a player and a coach, thats why Xavi, Pirlo, Lampard, Gerrard etc they were not prepared for the challanges. You have to discover yourself to be a lider has a coach, because you need to convince all the players, not just one.
The coach job is incredibly hard, and needs a lot of mental strenght.
We have to start bottom, and Xavi and others need that to suceed.
Hearing that Barcelona has broken Xavi to this point breaks my heart man..
Barca´s biggest problem is that they set way to high goals for themselfe. i love barca but they have to realize that their glory history took place over a relatively short period of time where conditions where very good because they had legendary players and a superior football philosophy at that time. But from this era almost nothing is left. They where not able to keep that fire burning like Real did by replacing old players with new talents step by step.
Now they throw promising but unexperienced young talents in the first team with some players they bought recently und expect instant success . barca needs a project like klopp and liverpool. 3-4 years no expectations. just building a team and creating a playstyle.
Honestly i think Xavi has a big mentality Problem. Him beeing a coach at barca is very much about himself. Everytime when they lose you can tell how much it hurts his pride.
After reading that quote in the beginning everything is making more sense now
You have a soothing voice
Basically Xavi is a victim of his own success. He set the bar high and couldn't maintain it. The board can't have it because of the financial situation. I feel for him
I'vw waited for this video
Need to know where you got those glasses, need me a pair.
what s the music that starts at 4.37?
Jose Mourinho should be the next Barca manager. He knows the system and has worked with Barca in the past. It will be perfect for both of them. Jose is hungry to prove himself and Barca is also looking for someone who is a proven winner so that they can win trophies and get their finances in order.
Mourinho at Barcelona would be the funniest thing ever
feels like spain always like to put the blame on the portuguese players
Thank you for mentioning Rafa Marquez cause I was already typing my comment. But Rafa doesnt have the necessary experience to coach Barcelona yet.
“ I like to look at these individuals as humans imagine shame on me for that” I laughed out loud at that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"You know me guys, I like to look at these individuals as *humans*. Shame on me for that"
And *THAT* is why I respect you Adrian, blueblood clubs like Barca expect managers to perform miracles and walk on water. In the the end, they need to be reminded that these are human beings that have human faults.
I dont see Motta making the move specially if he reaches European Football but even without that he looks more interested in staying in Italy either with Bologna or taking the job at Milan if RedBird takes the risk.
Finally a realistic analysis of what is happening at Barca. 99% of pundits just say things for clickbait nowadays
Would be interested to see how/if Pep would/could fix this side. With City, he hasn't had to deal with financial constraints and I know that is where a lot of people see he fails in the "best coach ever" discussion (never having to face the hardships of a club not at the peak of its powers).
Nice vid
funniest shit ever would be Xavi leading barca to a UCL💀💀💀
I want this to happen,just to see the epic comedy drama...😂
@@arkaroy9827 Same🤣
Worthy of Netflix documentary
Actually had no idea Xavi's brother was his wife, that's nuts.
He didn't mean it literally
It's a joke😅
As a Barça fan I need to remind that on his first day as a Barça coach Xavi grabbed the mic in front of the fans with president Laporta and said "we are the best club of world and we will put the work that is necessary to achieve success" and later on in his first press conference he said: "they thought me here that when you lose or draw is like a funeral". Love the guy but it's hard to have sympathy for someone who knew what he was signing up for and still talked big game. I believe he would've never said what he did recently about not winning trophies during his time as captain of the club
The Barca Pressure is insane, you even had Pep Guardiola being tired after 4 season only thing different is that he was a generational Manager with a generational squad
This is a team that supposed to be rebuild from zero...with young La Masia players(cheap and talented) and 2 years with no trophies expectations...and also considering the financial bad situation they are in. Why they did jump some important steps in reconstruction it's solely administration fault: with no money to spend they build a team full of retirees that no other team bid on them.
Do a video on Klopp
The difference between Real and Barcelona is that Real dont accept excuses. Real was injury plaqued at some point and they still grinded out results.
Guys i need that shirt Ter Stegen has on in 1:41 . Is that an official match/training kit??
They just gotta scoop of cesc fabregas from como 1907
Inter Milan deserve a video from you talking about Inzaghi coaching and Lautaro performance 🔵⚫️🔵⚫️🔵⚫️🔵⚫️🔵👍🏼
Come to Liverpool, Xavi ❤
Mad that this is the manager leaving story you are going with.
Oh man im too early for the good comments
Who's we? Isn't it just him in the channel?
Not sure why people freaking out. Just goes to show how fans get when they’re out of form. Part of the game, gotta take it and throw pride to the side. Same with bayern too.
Just to let you know that Tuchel quote you read is misrepresenting what he actually said. Please read Bayerns statement on it from today, this is Fake News
Personally I think we need a coach that is used to working with what he has and youth. We can’t afford to bring in a big name coach that will ask for signings that we realistically can’t afford at the moment. We might be able to squeeze a loan or two maybe buy a player or two, but big name coaches will most likely come in demanding a couple of players we can’t afford. That’s why I’m a fan of getting michel if it’s possible unless we bring in a big name coach with emphasizing we can’t afford many signings for them. Out of all of them, I think we shouldn’t get Marquez. Guy barely started coaching La masia side and they are mid table. We are just asking to bring him in for failure with his lack of experience. Maybe later on with more experience.
As a RM fan, I hope he stayed forever
He is NOT the first to say it. The first person to say that was Pep Guardiola back in 2011.
I hope If Xavi leaves, he joins City as an Assist Manager. So he can cool off, regain his momentum and work with Pep for a while.
Time for the translator to return
A great soldier does not necassarily make a great General. I dont feel bad for xavi, Barcelona have a huge budget, he knew what the job would be like and got an incredible opportunity for his first coaching job. Xavi did seem more like a mascott than a caoch for the most part and that wont succeed long term.
Barca had a what?
@@raunakmishra2375😂 exactly...
@@raunakmishra2375 they have an absolutely massive budget, the payroll alone is 170 mil a year, which is easily top 10 in world football.
Pimienta will not come back as long as Laporta is at Barca because Laporta sacked him unceremoniously when he was doing a spectacular job with Barca B to replace him with Rafa Marquez who has been mid at best.
I'm disappointed by the fact that Barca haven't been linked with Andoni Iraola, low budget managers with high ceilings don't come any better than him.
If Parmienta is being thrown around don't see why Aguacil and Roger Schmidt shouldnt be thrown around too.
Why has there been no pressure on penya
I lived in Barcelona during the end of the Cruyff-as-coach and beginning of the Van Gaal eras and while Laporta was still young and arrogant and sniping from the outside (now he's old and arrogant). There is nothing wrong with your excellent video, but I was still left disappointed because you didn't even touch upon a key question I've always had: Is the member-ownership model for football clubs actually even more brutal on manager and players than the more common billionaire narcissist-ownership model?
Typical English football fans, for example, always wax lyrical about how "things would be different" if they controlled the club through collective ownership instead of some dividend-sucking, debt-piling-on, billionaire (or even worse, a yank, rube-in-the-transfer-market billionaire). And of course, in the U.S., the billionaires clamped down on the member-ownership model (only grandfathering in the Green Bay Packers), so it must have a secret sauce they fear, right?
While living in Barcelona and reading the daily sports pages, the vicious politics around "Barca" became evident. And yet because of the fickle nature of the fans (everyone of them is an "expert"), the 100,000 + owners of Barcelona seem only to act as a force multiplier of pressure on management and players until it is absolutely soul-crushing.
I think it's the difference in fan culture that plays more of a role. The Bundesliga teams are all member owned but the fans are nowhere near as demanding.
Who would be a football manager😂
World never moved on after gold years of Barcelona and messi departure. Bad this is the problem, Barcelona’s management needs to move on.
Xavi did very well given circumstances
If they miss the UCL they may be in a similar situation to 2005 Dortmund financially.
Maybe not administration, relegation, or total liquidation is on the horizon, but certainly a reformation of the club like a Parma (and debt wiping, board overhaul) could take place as even if it’s better than it was in 2020, they’ll still a indebted mess who can’t even hire a new manager.
I watched the last Barca game, the players showed no respect in the last minutes, as much Barca deserved that hand ball in the penalty area imo, things will not go your way but that does not mean you just give up on the game. I don't blame Xavi last game at all. But i understand the frustration
Villarreal deserved the wrongfully disallowed goal more before that than Barca’s hand ball
Love to see al the hopeless fans talk about Klopp going to Barcelona. My mans, Klopp is too good for Barca
Klop would be bad choice for barca. Klop is a manager you get if you want longterm succes. As he takes a couple years to build. Barca wants shortterm succes. This and klop would not work.
As a barca fan watching xavi's poor decisions all season i dont feel bad,i feel hes teying to get sympathy. I know the squad is also to blame but how the hell do you play a high line vs real Madrid?!
Anybody who wants the Barca job need to have their head examined- severe financial mess; the belief that they have a god-given right to be at the top; the Spanish media; etc. Why would anyone worth their salt want that mess?
