Why are people blaming Bartomeu? He can't do anything

Gets new Coach > Bench old players Busquets Suarez Alba rakitic busquets > Messi angry > Cules don't vote for him

In the end he is on charge. He gets the biggest blame.

I would say it's equal now between everything, lack of direction from Bartomeu, lack of development from Valverde and tactics, players are too comfortable to give a damn.

We need big change in our organization. We need a coach who can give us clear direction, get the players out of comfort zone. No more guaranteed starting 11 spots etc. Players need to start fighting for their spot if they want to continue

Bartomeu was just Rosells coffeboy, like Grima Wormtongue.
He has no real managing skill of the club and i bet its mostly the other boardmembers pulling the strings.

Let's hope Victor Font can put together a serious campaign and win next time!

Messi wants to win. If a new manager proves that he can do that without Busquets/Rakitic/Alba/Suarez, he won't care in the end..
Right now Messi thinks that a defensive team + him doing all in attack is enough for the league (it is) and CL (it isn't, and he probably know that now).

Bartomeu should definitely find a new coach if he wants reelection in 2021, tbh.

Valverde Was a beast at Bilbao.

qualifying for the UEFA Champions League in his first year, whilst also reaching the final of the 2015 Spanish Cup the following season.

On 17 August 2015, Valverde led the Lions to their first trophy in 31 years after a 5–1 aggregate defeat of Barcelona for the Supercopa de España

Look how much they're struggling without him, and he still smashed us 5-1 on aggregate with a high press and attacking football.

It's clear something has gone wrong at Barcelona this isn't the same Valverde from the Bilbao days who was known for his focus on youth and high pressing. Maybe it's the players, maybe it's the pressure of the job I don't know.

Well Valverde took over from Bielsa, so the team was already used to ultra offensive pressing style. Besides that Bilbao is just different, not only because of their very own special philosophy (so working with youngsters is pretty much mandatory) but because they are a small club in general. Bilbao already started to become more boring again after Bielsa left though, at least i don't remember watching them that much after that because it wasn't as interesting anymore.

Managing and motivating a world class team is a whole different story and we saw the last 2 years how Valverde reacts to these different circumstances. Always choosing the safe route, always playing the same seniors, not developing young players etc we all know it.

That can happen with almost any coach of course. At smaller clubs taking risks and developing youth players often is the only way for success because they don't have Messi that can win you the games on his own. So besides the few proven world class coaches it's very hard to predict how a new coach would react to the powerful seniors, to having Messi, to having a huge transfer budget every summer etc but it's still worth a shot if the alternative is keeping Valverde.

Fucking hell. He's like a cockroach that just wont die. Loses to Roma in a humiliating way? Wants to stay. Loses to Liverpool again in another humiliating way? Wants to stay. Loses his favorite trophy ever, the Copa? STILL wants to stay.

This guy knows he wont ever get a job as high paying as Barca, so he wants to take all the money before he leaves.

If the club has any shame whatsoever, they fire the fuck out of him NOW. But they dont.

Let's be honest. Barcelona are going to let this Copa loss blow over with rumours of signings and exits until the voices for Valverde's exit disappear. The same as after the Anfield loss.
