Ronald koeman . New barca manager.

[mawders]

Oh dear fat head. Imagine if they finish 4th!!

If Messi leaves and Koeman stays, they’ll be 8th and he’ll be sacked by Christmas.

 

[EverTheOptimist]

Messi is staying, signing a new 2 year deal at half the wages.

Laporte working his magic already.

 

[FCBarça]

Would surprise me greatly for Laporta to destabilize Koeman during season much less during the tightly contested league race. Equally, it would surprise me greatly for Joan to not have a clear plan in mind going forward that includes a) a coach that reflects the approach/style reqd, b) a major signing and c) Leo's continuity

The first move will be to ensure the next coach:

The irony that we're laughing at this fat headed whopper, when we've just lost to Sheffield Utd.

Do love to see him struggle, but he still won a trophy, ffs.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Xavi isn’t going to go like Pirlo, Shearer or Lampard at all is it....

 

[Yarrgh]

But OK, that's football.

 

[Efcjake]

Just have to laugh at all those Barca fans that told Evertonians they didn't know what they were talking about with this fella.

 

[Efcjake]

This is all cheering me up a bit

You sound like ignorance must be bliss, the genius has eyes only to eventually return home - inevitable. Pep's own words and he chooses his words carefully

2 years later he said he would never return to Barcelona as manager.

And what FCBarca doesn't understand that the ONLY reasons Pep is at City is because Ferran Soriano and Txiki Begiristain are.
Without them he would never have come and without them he will leave.
So unless Laporte brings back both of those as well, then Pep isn't returning to Barca anytime soon.
Pep's not that daft. He managed them in their prime, which will not be repeated any time soon and
apart from that Barca financially are busted flush. Why would you want to?

The day job aside, he has taken a shine to Manchester from what I read. City centre pad, kids in school, owns a restaurant (?).

Good point. Koeman probably saw the result and thought 'glad I'm out of there'.

Yep. Loves it from all reports.
It’s also the freedom and support he gets from the top brass along
without any of the politics that comes with clubs like Barca & Bayern.
He can just focus on the football.
