This is more of a fan/journalist making a list. But in general the options in the current market are abysmal

Why? Do we have rebellious players or big egos in the dressing room? The only big ego we had left to PSG. We did try the strong personality manager route already and know that didn't work. We also tried manaers who impelmented a phlosophy that isn't suatable for Barcelona and failed/failing. Those listed managers would be better suited for us than Conte or Allegri.

Some of you are to harsh on him. I think he was having amazing season till February... He was having amazing results with one of the worst Barca squads in last few years Then we got Coutinho and Dembele, and he was forced to find a system where thoose 2 could play, but he couldn find it yet. That i believe was his biggest minus or lets say mistake... He definitely deserves another year!
The effect of the manager on the team's performance is overrated, in most cases. There are a very small number of exceptions, due to exceptional skills of a particular manager. Pep, for instance, has helped so many players develop. And look at Pep's success in CL with City and Bayern!
Valverde has gotten improved play from Alba, Iniesta, Messi, Vermaelen, Rakitic. Coutinho has integrated very well, Paulinho had a very fine first half of the season. Losing Neymar was a huge blow, the team got past that amazingly well. With the available personnel, the 4-3-3 just could not work, Valverde deserves a lot of credit for the success of the heretical conversion fo 4-4-2.
Developing the depth of the squad needs to improve. I think the problem has been the underperformance of several players who have had their chances, but sure, those are not feathers in Valverde's cap.
If no regulars other than Iniesta leave, all this team, with this manager, needs is two new players. One needs to be high quality: Greizman (or Aspas?) will solve a lot of problems. Bring in a RB or RB/CB, then S. Roberto can improve the midfield depth. This player does not have to be a star, Digne level would be enough.

What do you expect? This board has been chasing Valverde for years for him to finally agree to manage the team. They won't give up on him so soon.

When did I say trophies don't matter? How delusional are you?
Now you're saying Pep's football here at FCB was boring? Talk about being in the minority
Yes, we've played shitty, cowardly football this season. If it wasn't for Messi and Real dropping the ball in the league early on we'd not be winning any of these 'trophies' you are drooling over. Get a grip mate, go cheer Chelsea if you're interested in shitty defensive football.
a) Okey, let me rephrase, trophies are most important, everything else comes second
b) It was not always, but against parked busses it was, no creativity, no chances, just passing to each in midfield, hence boring
c) No we have not, if it werent for Messi, we probably would have missed on alot of other trophies as well, what goddamn out of date idiotic statement and no, I do not care for defensive football, neither have we played one.
