As if he'd join Barca now when they're facing a steep decline and have all the structural problems that need to be resolved <laugh>.

If he does rejoin Barca, he'll wait for the 'right' moment. Meaning once they're on an upward trajectory again, once they have lots of good players in their prime years again, and when other manager(s) have done all the hard work to get them out of this current mess, providing a platform for further success. Maybe Pep would join toward the end of that transitional phase. But there's no way he'd rebuild that entire club from the precarious position they're in now.
No need for Pep to go to Barca ; Barca AKA as Messi is coming to Pep.
And Koeman is on the verge of signing with Barca
 
Koeman appointed Barca coach

Sort of a surprise to me because I thought he’d want to take his national team to the Euros as they’ve got a tasty squad. He’s got the Barça connection though so maybe it was just too big a deal for him to turn down. Big job on his hands to turn that ship around.
 
Koeman just keeping the seat warm for Xavi

Their presidential elections are next year aren’t they? Whoever gets him on board will be the next president

I think Xavi has already said he won’t take the job until he knows who the next president is. It seems a highly factional situation behind the scenes.
 
Why would Joe Hart come to Tottenham to join Gazza as Hugo's backup? Don't get it.Is Hugo leaving soon?
