    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    This happens in all of La Liga. It's also a culture thing. Spaniards, South Americans, Latins in general are more laid back and have a different approach to life. And is not as if clubs in Spain buy lots of Spanish non speakers. Why have a coach speak English when the bulk of the squad speaks...

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    It's not as if this is any different at Madrid. What non-spanish speakers have they hired?

    That should also rule out Flick. Probably we get Tuchel. But I'll be surprised if we go with a non-Spanish speaker as manager.

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    There is no calculated bet on the market. There are only three certified winners with big clubs - Pep, Klopp and Ancelotti(although I wouldn't task him with a rebuild at Barca). So it's not like there are proven options that will work for sure. We either take a shot with someone up and coming...

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    I've expressed my opinion some pages back. Alonso or Arteta as top candidates that we can't get. Young managers that have already showed some promise - Amorim and wouldn't say no to Nagelsmann(the only Jerman that I would consider) A wild card like Motta or Will Still

    He's turning 59 next week mate. Nothing fresh about him.

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    Ancelotti hasn't failed at Napoli, was fired due to not wanting to be De Laurentiis' dog. He didn't actually fail at Everton either. You could argue that he didn't turn them into a top 6 club, but it's Everton after all. And he wasn't sacked, he just left for Real. You could argue that he was a...

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    Not backed by a club where he won it all. Goes into hiding at German NT where he is terrible. "The 58-year-old became the first Germany head coach to be sacked since the position was created in 1926." No other big club is remotely interested in him. Hasn't created a team on his own and suddenly...

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    What's the matter BlowJobJohnny? Did I hurt your feelings towards ze jermans? Basically a lame copy of Madrid, but without any domestic rivals.

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    Many in here have salivated at Bayern's training methods, club structure, economic model etc. I for one don't give a fuck about all that. If I wanted Bayern I would have followed Bayern. What troubles me the most if the inclusion of Bumsi Flick on that list of Ze Jermans managers. The guy is...

    No player reduces his salary, they are not morons. This is a business, but individuals like Birdy don't understand that. Players will come, if we have the money to buy/pay them. Barcelona as a club and city is a big attraction. FDJ isn't the biggest money pit in this club's recent history. But...

    Wasn't Nagelsmann schooled by Emeri though?

    That's all he's saying since FDJ became a subject of criticism around here.

    La liga title: Is it over?

    Team has checked out psychologically. They'll probably make a push for CL, but they'll eventually be trashed in that also. Remember that this is also a Summer with a Copa America + Euro + Olympics in it. They'll stop pushing as to not risk injuries, once we get dropped from CL.

    Yeah Lannisters never played well with Starks or Barratheons.

    Let's talk about Xavi's replacement (2024)

    Motta at least has a grasp of Barca club politics. He is also a latin so shouldn't have an issue with the language/customs barrier. I just don't see a German nutter working successfully at Barca.

    City should win it back to back considering the teams left in the competition.
