That saved him from Koeman laughing his ass off at him. The team was dead, he was sacked and made a move that put Laporta in chess. Why to sack him when he already is done?
Then the hype was strong because he faced Simeone, EV dead Napoli and Donnarumma.
We should keep him, a decision has been made.

We could/should have accepted the public resignation right then and call checkmate.

No need for compensation.

Marca are not the only ones who have claimed Xavi wants his money if he’s fired even though he publicly has claimed otherwise.

It’s why they want him to resign so he gives up that money himself.
No one forfeits millions when he has a signed contract.

Can't believe people still fall for that shit.

If Xavi announces he is leaving at the end of the season, do we have to pay him the unfulfilled year?
That's another matter. But he will most likely negotiate his exit. After all he has his staff. And those paupers don't get paid millions.

Xavi didn't say anything wrong. Perfectly fine to take some pressure off the team by admitting the rival is superior and that the club is in a bad financial state.

If he is sacked over such thing, he should take the 15m compensation if he has that in his contract. Absolute laughable to sack him for simply speaking in realistic and honest terms.

Sell the club already. It's fecking rotten at the top.

It's a shitshow for sure, but if Xavi fought for his job with Laporta and told him that he believes he is the right man for the job and can have the team compete properly for all titles with a few tweaks and some new signings in the meeting at his house a few weeks ago, and now publicly does a 180 turn then well.......he shot himself in the foot.

What he said might be true, but being two-faced is probably not well liked at the top of club's hierarchy when half the board already wanted to fire him a long time ago which Laporta ignored.

So from Laporta's POV:
- Half his board along with some of his closest advisors wanted Xavi gone, yet he ignored them to keep him, possibly at the cost of his mandate if it didn't work out
- Xavi said one thing to him, and another thing publicly basically lying straight to his face
- He's having to watch shit uninspiring football versus teams with 10% of our budget and squad value and probably wondering how we're not able to play better whilst other teams can

It's incompetence from top to bottom at the club right now.

Well Laporta needed the hype " we are fighting on all fronts Xavi has our support etc" to sell the rest of the season to kids.
We should keep him another year, I really don't care how Laporta feels betrayed after he invested all on Xavi.

Xavi is a known difficult egocentric guy.
Only a plastic would have made him leader or a Maoist. Laporta is a good manager since he can gather hype but has no clue about many things

More at the current situation of the club. That is heavily influenced by previous board.
More by pandemics and poor lawyers but he pointed at Laporta. There are no money and they want trophies. But that was a known fact before he spent the money. It was his duty to produce profit out of a big investment.
And Laporta is right, given the Xavi disastrous management he has little opportunities to get new money and now he complains about the club afecting the little hype there is about FCB.
Where is his treble hopes?
