Embarrassing. He has turned into a total cuck.

Instead of fighting the establishment and trying to grind out a result against Barca, he's happily accepting defeat and waxing lyrical about them.

One of the most overrated and overpaid managers around. Holding them back for a long time now. A very very limited and average tactician. People like Allegri are far superior tacticians. @Birdy @jamrock @FinBarcelonafan

I don't see why Atleti tolerates his park the bus philosophy even now that he has spent hundreds of milions to improve the squad

Defensive football makes sense only if you have no funds and want to push the team to its limits in terms of success. But when you spend so much money on players you should look to outplay Barça and win the game, play some great football

Main problem is he doesn't know how to spend though. All his signings are focused on keeping the same philosophy just strengthening positions and adding more depth. But with so much money you can also consider starting to play something new altogether. In fact you should have to consider doing that. Instead he spent 40m on Nico Gonzalez, just because he's Argentine

He plays good offensive football too, just not against barca. Every team has opponent which he cannot beat often and it is barca for him. Like it is bayern for us. I think he is the right manager for them, just too high on wages.
I am interested what happens when they spend american money (new investor) next season

He can genuinely win them a CL.

He took an average Villareal team to the EL trophy and CL semis.

Yup, easily...
There are dozens of managers out there better than Cholo.

Guy stopped belonging to the top tier already in 2016 or so, and it has been downhill since then.
Apart from the ugly football, he is simply below par anymore

He is the 5th highest-paid manager in the world (and top4 includes the likes of Inzaghi on Arab money, not only Europe), and he has delivered this trophy record the last 10 years:

only 1 title, and that by accident when both Barca and Madrid collapsed

Enough is enough with the excuses.
He has to go

His net spend is much higher than Klopp at Liverpool.

He buys shitty cloggers who fit his personality. 😂
