    When a team signs Arturo Vidal, a player over 30 to add to the plethora of the over 30s already there, then you know a club is not progressing.

    There’s always the Espanyol thing too. He’s mates with the chairman, but I don’t see it happening.

    I know he's always said he'd never manage there but you wonder if it'd change with a while out the game and when the money's on the table.

    They tend to go 'within' though so as I said earlier Xavi wouldn't be a huge surprise. Have to think they'd give him time n fans would be more patient too.

    Yeah, I think Juve should have gone for him, but still.

    The oñe to get rid of is the President. The election is next year, and in recent years his transfers have been disastrous. Dembele for example, who might be a good player but for a fee in excess of 100 million, he has managed to produce as much for Barca as Carillo did for SFC. Another example of short termism was the signing outside.the window of Braithwaite. While en las calles de Barcelona there is much anger and weeping, non Barca fans are smiling.

    Now I am normally the one to get upset about slurs, but I have missed this one.

    I don't see the issue. You generalised about Americans, people disagreed, we move on. It is a forum after all.

    A forum is for opinions, right or wrong, or where there is no right or wrong.

    Blue line move on.

    Be careful as we will yank you into order though ;)

    I’ve read many times that Poch has said he wouldn’t manage Barca due to his allegiance to Espanyol. I thought that was quite strange but as I said, I read it in numerous places not just one. I’ve always said Poch has the ability to manage either Madrid or Barca but not sure any manager can sort out the current mess(i) at Barca...

    Football like life is not fair otherwise there would never ever be a Tory victory and we would not have a buffoon running the country.

    Sadly we will have to live with the arsehole we have for a little while yet until the Tory Mandarins come to their senses.
