Getting rid of RK will not address any of our issues. I think we could have handled the situation a lot better.

Last part is Toni's opinion rather than coming from Laporta...same on guessing that Laporta preferred other options, and no point does he intimate thinks/thought Xavi hasn't been ready. There was discussions about tension surrounding Xavi having been a Font pick but this has been magnified more than it is
I agree with the Sport journalist however on the timing as he should've been sacked in May/June, even Laporta acknowledged that today it was an error that he accepts. It's surprising but here, I have to believe this extortionate termination clause was the basis for the reticence. I am pleased that he accepted this failure publicly
Toni also acknowledges that Puig will get into the rotation under Xavi which everyone could guess, not revelatory since Koeman had zero confidence in the player...he made similar comments about the importance of Garcia to improve with Xavi

Laporta: There is no transistion year at Barca.
Xavi right now
Don't believe that for a second.
No way Laporta expects us to win anything other than Cup maybe. He is no fool. Saying his political thingies. The roster ain't ready and it needs many signings. It's pretty much write off season, unless Xavi produces a miracle.

It will be a hard transition for Xavi. Pep said today that without great players his vision wouldn't have flourished at Barca. He had fantastic players in every area at the time he arrived at the club - Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Eto'o and the declining but still clinical Henry.
Our current team is pretty much the opposite of that and I don't expect any miracles.

I think that Laporta means:
= we won't give up/sell players, we will fight
If he really wants to fight, that's fine.
But even if he knows that we can't do anything, he needs to say that there is no transition and that we are aiming for all titles, because otherwise sponsors will pull out.
Sponsors want to invest in winners, not in guys who give up and end 5th and in a group stage/round of 16 of a CL and who's future is grey (like ours).
Probably a part of rumors that we are after Halaand, Kounde, Sterling is also just to act as if they are trying and as we are aiming for greatness.
They need to fool sponsors and fans.
Basically, he needs to say it to keep the future money and to prevent us from sinking even lower.

We will aim for a quick bounce back no doubt. In 2-3 years we need to compete seriously for the big titles again, maybe even sooner domestically. I will expect signs of improvement as early as start of next season.
The first sign we should be seeing is us dominating the likes of Rayo, Granada and such, teams who gave Koeman hell, on a routine basis. And from then on we need to continue to improve and attack the big games better, even against rivals like Madrid, Atletico, CL teams that have better squad than us.
At the same time, Laporta has to do something and get us funds for 2-3 top transfers for a start. You can't really fight for the big titles without investing. You can improve, compared with the shitshow from Koeman era, but up to a point.

Tebas has revealed the economic margin that Bar?a has in the next transfer window: "They have over 20 million euros to sign players and, then, for the coach, there is a special clause when there is a layoff that they can use. I think it is 4% more ".In general, is it legal that he constantly spreads Barca's finances for general review?

The fact that Laporta i) preferred other options, ii) thinks Xavi is not ready
is not an opinion, it's journo info
Many journalists have confirmed that, Laporta himself and his environment has leaked that quite a few times since March
