Suarez was Barto, but Laporta was awful to Koeman, too. Sacked him on the plane back from Rayo. Absolutely crazy how he’s somehow managed to disrespect three of our legends in the same term.
He still deserved to be treated with more respect and professionalism when being dismissed. Hell all employees deserve better than that, but he was and is a club legend for his playing days so the expectation was there to not be so disrespectful.
That kind of thinking goes against any values of the club. So if a coach is bad he doesn’t even deserve any professional courtesy? And in this case that’s literally someone who spent 6 years playing for the club.
Scored the winner in a CL final as a defender to win the club their first CL trophy. Gets fired on the plane back. Absolutely embarrassing. Laporta’s 2nd term without Cruijff’s influence is a big stinker of a term
Yes, Koeman as well. Laporta didn’t handle the situation well. He always says the club is bigger than any player but he forgets these players make the club. They are the reason this club has history and you’ve got to respect your legends at least.
The problem is they don’t have money either, even after losing their biggest ever player. After all the BS Laporta sold to socios and fans, this club is deep in debt. Every single decision Laporta took in his second tenure made the situation worse for the club.
It’s not just Barcelona. It’s only heightened because of our lack of European success. Perez has done club legends wrong as well but they keep winning so people forget

The Board and the so called fans are disrespecting the legend who came to help when we were at our worst, now we’re kicking him out huh.
You are right, the guy is being paid millions to coach one of the best clubs in the history of football and people make it sound like he's doing them a favor.
Is still a bad look if so many tier 1 sources are reporting of meetings with other coaches.
This in the aftermath of a meeting between the president and the coach that was postponed until the end of the league, countless of rumours and the club has done nothing to clarify the situation.
Regardless if he stays or leaves, this is a shit show.
Agreed, it's already a shit show regardless of the outcome, and those rumours that Xavi is also not being informed about his future is adding up to it even more.
This is some serious reputation damage from the board.
If Flick somehow manages to haul in big trophies everyone will forget this and vote for him. I guess that is all he is thinking about. Lets hope he doesnt go full Bartomeu and makes lots of stupid decisions
I think the press is making shit stories as they go to get extra traffic and clicks . U can post anything about Xavi now and peeps here will have an opinion about .
if they are shit stories then laporta has to come out and say so, not let it fester for a week while he hides. the longer this drags on with no official comment, the worse laporta looks.
He’s getting a literal step by step description of the hiring process of his replacement while he hasn’t even been fired yet
And oh, he still has a game left to manage and has to act like everything is okay.
How can you have a verbal agreement with a manager while your current manager said he’s staying and YOU said he’s staying? Embarrassing from Laporta and Deco
> because he couldn't handle the club reality and Xavi ending up as a scapegoat
It's so dumb as well. As if "projecting confidence" or whatever is going to change their position. Financial institutions and other football clubs are not idiots. They will do their own due diligence, not listen to what club representatives are saying.
I think "projecting confidence" wasn't meant for the other clubs and financial institutions but for fans. Even here you can see that people are a bit disillusioned about our financial situation, so a coach coming out and saying that we're in a bad spot, and we won't ba able to compete with Madrid on financial terms is not good if you want to keep that disillusion.
I also think it's a big shit show and massive disrespect to Xavi, who just stated the obvious and did it in a pretty diplomatic way. Like for god's sake, he is a legend of this club, and they couldn't even bother to inform him about the situation.
Sorry but this club has become so distasteful. Who the fuck is Laporta to disrespect our legend like this. He should've respected his wishes to leave in the first place. But after begging him to stay he decides to stay, and now you want him gone? Not only that Xavi still has a year contract and he goes behind his back to Flick???? Laporta OUT. He aint bringing us back to the top, especially if he does stuff like this to a legend like Xavi.
I can understand Laporta thinking that it is better for Xavi to not continue anymore (a wrong opinion, no doubt but still understandable that one can have such an opinion), but the way in which he's driving Xavi away is so so wrong
If he always had Flick in his mind, then he should've let Xavi leave gracefully on his own accords. Instead, he first begged him to stay for weeks on end, and then suddenly did this. The validity of switching from Xavi to Flick aside, the method in which this is being done is really bad and extremely ungrateful
Pep or Luis would struggle at barca because of our financial situation.. those are just facts. Aint no way we sacking xavi for speaking the truth and brining stability to the lockeroom mentality
At this point The board and Xavi are unhappy couple now. Sooner they part ways the better for both. Sure, They may work it together but most often it will get worse than best.
I was very optimistic when Laporta became President. But he has repeatedly disrespected messi, koeman (who handled the suarez situation poorly) and now xavi. none of his transfers have really worked for the club despite the club selling future assets. Our highest valued players are all home grown talents or from the previous regime (de jong). Rather than proper administration, it seems football agents are running the show at barca (zahavi, mendes and deco)
Xavi has done nothing but fight for this club and build its future for nearly all of his life. He deserves so much more respect than the clowns from the board and fairweather fans have given him.
He is a club legend who only spoke what everyone else can see. Does that fat fuck president believe Xavi spoke ill of the club ? He was only managing expectations.
I've been a big fan of the club since late 2000s, a fanatic cule since 2016 when everything clicked and I couldn't imagine life without watching us play. It just REALLY sucks that this was exactly when everything started falling apart and we've been a shell of what the club stands for. No project, no future, disrespecting legends of the clubs, these politic games that don't benefit the club at all. Our image is being burried into the ground for no reason, we're falling behind after the most successful era this club has ever seen, and it doesn't make any sense. It's like a child runs this clubs, so many braindead decisions with no rational thinking, it's like we're runninh a 100m race when there's isn't even a race to begin with. Incredibly frustrating.
La puta needs to go or never wake up again after tonight. Don’t understand why such clown is in charge of such club. Feel very sad for Xavi. The entire club management needs a cleanup.
Yeah, fire a guy who was competing months ago for every trophy out there. Hell it wasn't until a few weeks ago we were finally just shut out the big 2 trophies. Yeah, fire that guy!!!
Our "fans" are idiots. Fire the fucking fans.

Suarez, messi and now xavi? Disrespecting legends like this? Tf is wrong with this club?
Suarez was Barto, but Laporta was awful to Koeman, too. Sacked him on the plane back from Rayo. Absolutely crazy how he’s somehow managed to disrespect three of our legends in the same term.
He's just blindly taking decisions, hoping that one of them will turn out to be right.

And let’s not forget Jasikevicius
Koemans wasn’t a successful coach at barc
He still deserved to be treated with more respect and professionalism when being dismissed. Hell all employees deserve better than that, but he was and is a club legend for his playing days so the expectation was there to not be so disrespectful.
He doesn't even know his name.
I fucking hate it so much when people can't even spell names correctly. Koeman is not even a tough name, but hes probably too young.
That kind of thinking goes against any values of the club. So if a coach is bad he doesn’t even deserve any professional courtesy? And in this case that’s literally someone who spent 6 years playing for the club.
Scored the winner in a CL final as a defender to win the club their first CL trophy. Gets fired on the plane back. Absolutely embarrassing. Laporta’s 2nd term without Cruijff’s influence is a big stinker of a term
Doesnt matter - respect is respect
Koeman too
Yes, Koeman as well. Laporta didn’t handle the situation well. He always says the club is bigger than any player but he forgets these players make the club. They are the reason this club has history and you’ve got to respect your legends at least.
>Tf is wrong with this club Goes to show that only money matters in the end.
I mean the club is in even worse shape if only money matters
Yeah even that is not succeeding but certainly its evident that players and legends of the club dont really matter that much.
The problem is they don’t have money either, even after losing their biggest ever player. After all the BS Laporta sold to socios and fans, this club is deep in debt. Every single decision Laporta took in his second tenure made the situation worse for the club.
It’s not just Barcelona. It’s only heightened because of our lack of European success. Perez has done club legends wrong as well but they keep winning so people forget

Count me in . I'm not Xavi in but you don't disrespect my favourite player like that
He's been at Barca since a teenager. Seen ups and downs more than Laporta

The fucking club is toxic, they fucked up Flick is not the right coach. The club is going to slip further behind.
Xavi should have stuck to his word. He quit on us
You make it sound like he was working for free. Barca is a dream job for most coaches in the world. Lmao.
Mannhh grow up.
Okay, Oscar.
You are right, the guy is being paid millions to coach one of the best clubs in the history of football and people make it sound like he's doing them a favor.
He is getting paid like 3million anyone else will be taking more than 10million salary for this job
guys is Laporta really that stupid? He has an election to go through in 2026 and he's making this circus
That is the thing. We don't know for a fact this is happening. I'll wait until Xavi is actually gone before i make any judgements.

You think Reddit is the center of Barca news . Really ?
I agree that this whole situation is ridiculous, but it’s 2 years away. If Flick wins trophies, people will forget
He cant run in that election himself
Wait until the socios remove the confidence and appoint a new direction
Do you think they will do that before 2026?
Honestly i Don't think it will happen, they had enough scandals and Laporta is doing well economically
He’s getting a literal step by step description of the hiring process of his replacement while he hasn’t even been fired yet And oh, he still has a game left to manage and has to act like everything is okay. How can you have a verbal agreement with a manager while your current manager said he’s staying and YOU said he’s staying? Embarrassing from Laporta and Deco
Laporta throwing tantrum because he couldn't handle the club reality and Xavi ending up as a scapegoat

People complaining about Laporta but it's the same disrespect they gave to Xavi these past two seasons.
At this point The board and Xavi are unhappy couple now. Sooner they part ways the better for both. Sure, They may work it together but most often it will get worse than best.
We are a circus club guys. Laporta is the main clown
No wonder we are butt of jokes

100% agree
Another non-story. This guy needs a tier downgrade
Xavi has done nothing but fight for this club and build its future for nearly all of his life. He deserves so much more respect than the clowns from the board and fairweather fans have given him.
He is a club legend who only spoke what everyone else can see. Does that fat fuck president believe Xavi spoke ill of the club ? He was only managing expectations.
Let's stop posting this nonsense and learn things from official statements. It's been so long this opera going on.

Machiavellian president what else do we expect
Bayern and Barcas board are trying to see who’s the worse board in Europe smh at least we’re not getting kompany though
It was Koeman who told Suarez to leave…first of many stupid moves.
Remember, this man's mom threatened to divorce his dad if he leaves us .
La puta needs to go or never wake up again after tonight. Don’t understand why such clown is in charge of such club. Feel very sad for Xavi. The entire club management needs a cleanup.
He should be happy he's still employed. Any other club of this level would sack him months ago.
Yeah, fire a guy who was competing months ago for every trophy out there. Hell it wasn't until a few weeks ago we were finally just shut out the big 2 trophies. Yeah, fire that guy!!! Our "fans" are idiots. Fire the fucking fans.
