He's a fall guy. The longer the financial mess Barcelona is in persists, the longer you might as well keep him on. Why taint more than one manager with the situation they are in.

I wouldn't be surprised in a few years time, when all the COVID impact has been absorbed and Barca are well into their post Messi era and starting to perform better, that Koeman will be seen sympathetically there as a former playing legend who struggled to keep their head above water during the fallout of the current boardroom and financial problems at the depth of what should be a huge rebuild of a poorly functioning squad.

We'll all know that he is absolute sh*&^house of a man and manager though.

True but there's no board atm. Elections have been postponed until March 7 despite club statutes stipulating it needed to be done before end of December. This is more a case of Bartomeu still trying to influence the elections by proxy through the management council led by his economic advsior Tusquets.

There are 3 candidates - Freixa, Laporta & Font. Xavi is going to coach, whether it is in June or there is an interim coach after Koeman is unclear but Font has already said there is no way the club will continue with Koeman. Laporta has said he supports Koeman but he has experience as a President and has no intention to destabilize until he is officially elected

Most cules are unhappy with his coaching - tactically inept and terrible at substitutions despite having 5 at his disposal in each match. Nevertheless he has to get some credit for bringing Griezmann into the rotation despite early struggles - they are improving and you can never discredit a coach for that. There is good chemistry on the pitch
