Still early days but it looks like none of these bums want to leave. Think the board should be direct and let them know they're not going to be counted for upcoming season.
Laporta: Hey Ronald, so umm, we're still trying to beg Pep to come back but in the meantime, you're still the coach, OK?
Yeah no worries man, and one more thing. You're gonna have to take a pay cut. OK? Ok then bye.
Lol, Marquinhos was on another level back then compared to Garcia physique wise, speed etc. Played alot at RB before switching to CB. Current Garcia is alot slower, shorter but still capable of developing physically we'll see.
If he loves the club as much as he claims he should volunteer for a deduction in half of his salary. Pretty sure he knows that he doesn't even deserve half of what he earns.
This team has been on end of some of the heaviest defeats in its history in the last 3-4years. One of the reasons we keep getting smashed is because of deluded thinking that current core and style is still good enough.
Obvious that Pep got carried away with the lineup. A more pragmatic approach would have been better. Finals are one off 50-50 matches, there's no 2nd leg to attempt a comeback.
His first year back in 03/04 was a roller coaster ride but he stuck with Rijkaard and eventually it paid off. The situation today is similar in some ways. Club is in serious debt, team needs massive upgrade but difference now is expectations and demands are huge. Media and Fans today are...
i think Laporta is a bit reckless here. Doubt Koeman stays beyond this. His position is already undermined, he has to go. You can't work in these circumstances.
No top coach will want to touch this mess. Laporta is obsessed with Pep but even if he comes he would want the time to work and build something. Even with klopp, he would want the time and support to build. Laporta is deluded looking for a quick fix. No top coach would accept that shit.
Only so much you can do with this current bunch. Its true a coach like Allegri can come in and make us more organized but you can't do much with Lenglet, Umtiti, Bob etc. You can't make Busi, Pique faster either.
