It's not that simple. That entire idea is based off of the notion that Pep is the antagonist and Barca the innocent victim when there were many more factors to take into account.

News corporations in Italy (or any other country for that matter) have people around different leagues/countries getting news. It's just that the people from Sky Italia were probably the first to find out the news instead of German/Spanish media.

Some of you need to calm your nerves :lol:

I don't understand how he gets the blame over Tito/Rosell or even Thiago himself. Pep is the last one who caused this to happen, yet everyone seems to forget why Thiago was unhappy in the first place.

Sky Italia confirmed it and they were the ones who confirmed Pep to Bayern as well apparently.

Barcelona transfers so far: In- Neymar Out- Villa, Abidal, Fontas, Muniesa, Deulofeu (loan), Rafinha (loan), Bojan (loan) Along with most likely Afellay and Cuenca leaving as well.... We haven't made a single solid move for a defender yet.

Officially moved to Celta on loan, great move for him and I hope Lucho can knock some of the Eusebio out of him :D Will this thread be moved like the Deulofeu one?

I doubt he'd drop Muller, that'd be insanely stupid.

Agree there. The turmoil of Laporta was in finances and the debt had to be reduced. I'm not very knowledgeable on the business aspect but could there have been a way where Laporta remained president yet passed off some of his financial/marketing responsibilities to some smarter advisors? As...

I'm not talking about who was better in transfers, just about who put the priorities in the correct place. Laporta helped the development of our academy and Enqirue/Pep were strikingly good in that regard. Rosell barely gives a shit, naming Tito and Eusebio to be his pawns and not even...

Honestly with the Laporta crew leaving we lost almost all of the key people of the club. Laporta, Txiki, Cruyff, Pep, Lucho, Thiago (because of Pere), and many more. Rosell has given up much focus on our gameplay, only looking for results and marketing schemes. He turned Barcelona from a family...

Martinez is core because the club bought him to fill a hole in their midfield, where he became a massively key player and helped them dominate football. It's not just about how long he's been there, but about how much of a priority player he was/is. Kroos is one of their best players going...

Academy, core management, loyal philosophy vs transfers, Qatar money, and some vendetta against Laporta and his supporters

How long ago was that? :lol:

Well under Rosell the priority has shifted to the polar opposite. He's degraded the football mentality of the club in favor of reducing debt and focusing on his financial connections.

I doubt Pep would go out of his way to nurture Thiago at the cost of giving the club's core players in Kroos/Schweinsteiger/Martinez their deserved playing time. They even have an academy player of their own who would suffer like Thiago did (Emre Can)

The thing was that Tito's reign showed how passive the board were about management of the team, same with how they so happily let Roura take over during his illness. After Pep left, Tito didn't change much and had a distinct lack of authority that made the team seem a very passive version of the...

Ie probably will if he starts and impresses. Dongou might surprise some of us just like Deulofeu did from his leap in 11-12 to 12-13

I doubt Rosell would give enough of a damn to find us a decent manager, instead just handing it off to the next guy in line. I was really hoping Lucho would come back to be Barca's coach if he succeeds at Celta, but under Rosell that seems unlikely

Well if Tito ends up leaving, then Roura is probably going to be our manager. Along with the decreased investment in youth and more focus on finances and transfers, we'll give up everything the club stands for in loyalty, family, and academy development to become some Qatar financed money club...
