Joan Laporta

1. The finances had to improve and anyone coming in had to improve them. There was no option. There is nothing amazing about putting club in record debt and pulling levers to do it. The salaries had to reduce.. league rules ensure that also. Barca are still paying some of highest salaries.

Hypothetical answer. Fact is Laporta did improve club finances.

So he would get sacked if the coach he hired to win and play entertaining football, didn't win and play entertaining football. But that coach is winning and playing entertaining football.

Jamdav and Bojan logic is some of the most retarded shit I've ever heard in my life.

The finances had to improved, so he doesn't get credit for improving it.

Microsoft needed a win, in A.I so they don't get credit for investing in open A.I..

John had $0 he doesn't get credit for working his way to $100. He could only go one way lol

It's true a lot of his work came from hiring the right coach

But what is controversial about this? For every club president, who he hires as managers is very important thing. Because sometimes even when you lay a good foundation and make great atmosphere around the team a bad coach can destroy it all. Or when not everything is perfect and many things are not ticking a good coach can stabilize the situation and make it look better than it is. Because ultimately results on the pitch and how you play on the pitch is most important and has highest influence over public opinion

Flick was a courageous move. He failed with Germany NT and was a big gamble that turned out to work. There were many safer options out there (on paper) but Flick had the most potential and Laporta went for it

With all this mess I'm only worried about how this will affect Flick's future at the club.

It looks like If Font wins Haram Xavi will be back at the helm with his Qatari league tactics. That would be a complete disaster.
