If in the unlikely event Koeman turned this round he'd be a favouite for the job, surely? I know that these clubs are highly political internally, but I could see that even if a new broom came in.....not that Koemageddon will be a success like!

Maybe, but the new presidential candidate really wants Xavi in charge (he has turned it down before claiming he is not ready) The other day was claiming to have spoken to Klopp (not sure i believe that though) and a few other names have been mentioned. He is popular over there with fans but they also remember what went on at Valencia and the mess he made there. The problem with Barca is the squad is just old and needs upgrading but they have little money to do that, but do you let a guy who might only be in charge for a few months start ripping up the squad?

Found out at Benfica, chased out of Valencia, sacked by Everton. He's already been found out. Barcelona will now enter a period of civil war and he'll be spat out in less than 6 months, IMO.

It’s his MO. Go in, make a load of short term signings, fall out with everyone, drastic exit, then fire up the press to talk about how you just demanded too much from poor players, how your standard were higher, how you were just ultimately too good for the club. Then his reputation starts increasing again once he’s not managing until another team falls for it.

The only half decent job he’s done in his career was Southampton but i think Pochettino left him an absolute gift of a squad and there were zero expectations.

What's worse of all is he only spent 1 minute phoning Luis to tell him to leave. Our 3rd top goalscorer in history deserves better... this can destabilisethe locker room if Koeman thinks he can treat everyone like [Poor language removed] without respect. The same thing happened at Valencia.

While not having any actual striker lined up to replace him all we have are number 10s like Messi, Suarez, Griezmann, Coutinho.

He has said he wants Griezmann to play in his natural position and insists on a 4231 but we only have number 10s if he succeeds in getting rid of Suarez.

I am worried we will enter the season playing 4231 with no striker and 3 CAMs Griezmann Messi Coutinho. Basically we will struggle to score and concede 4 per game as this formation leaves us exposed defensively.

I am having serious question makes about Koeman's tactics and decision making and he hasn't even plaued a single game yet.

If he is going to dump Suarez he needs to have an actual replacement lined up we cannot enter the season without a striker.

It's like you are writing about what happened here, but with different names.

Unless Barcelona is so dysfunctional a club, that it needs a short sharp shock to create the environment to sweep out the old, old Moonhead is not the man for the job. He was so bad that the first 6-8 games of Sam Alladyce were better because he tightened up the defence (and subsequently then did nothing more except bore us all to death with his anti-football so definitely don't consider him either).

Could Arteta be considered for the Barca job?
