Ronald koeman . New barca manager.

[NathDogg]

Lovely watching his barca team get schooled yet again (sorry Barca fans!) But you know what really pees me off with the cabbage headed fraud - he actually gives a toss and looks bothered at Barca, running up and down out of his technical area, and working himself up so much that his kecks nearly fell down off his fat ginger arse during the pumping from Juve.

A little bit of passion whilst he was here wouldn't have gone amiss.

Tactically clueless fraud of a manager - just really sad he will walk away from them with many more millions in his pocket, as he did with us, the ginger shitgibbon.

I remember all the Barca fans calling us bitter on reddit when the blues were warning them of what was coming.

They deserve it all.

95% of their fans aren't actual barca fans, they're hardly even football fans

 

[TippEverton]

Will never forgive them for that champions league semi final second leg, deserve everything they get.

Koeman and Barca, match made in heaven, he is actually capable of relegating them the fat headed Dutch oaf, here's hoping.

Would have been better off appointing Ronald McDonald:

Would laugh my head off if Barca replace him with Allardyce.

And you thought bullfighting was brutal........

 

[Big Sams Undies]

It’s a massive shame that fans aren’t back in the Nou Camp because it would make the knobs failure even sweeter seeing him getting a dogs life from the fans

A face only a butcher could love.

 

[Billy Dean]

They had a good recruitment department that identified those players for him i believe.

All managers are to an extent only as good as the recruitment and scouting team at their disposal

 

[FCBarça]

Used to be a question of if, now even the when is quite clear - as soon as Font or Laporta are elected I believe Xavi will take over. Now only a question of whether Messi will continue with Barca at end of the season

Should he though? Fair question

With a name like FCBarca, what would you do with Messi? I'd be tempted to bin him off for as much as could be achieved or financially for marketing purposes and so on, do they need to keep him?

The end of career is surely coming now with Messi. Is it better to retire him off and wring the last from the cash cow, or to flog him off?

I don't think he should and thats not just because he might rock up at the Etihad.
It's virtually impossible for Barca to win the title this season and the way it is going they
may well not even qualify for the CL! If he's not careful part of his legacy could go down the
tubes with Barca as well. You would also think / hope that he needs / wants to prove
himself outside of Spain in another league regardless of where that maybe?
He would also earn himself another shed full of cash. Obviously he doesn't need the money,
but with these guys it's always about the money. He should definately move on me thinks.

He generates more revenue than his salary, by 3 fold - so even from a business perspective there's no reason to sell much less let him leave for free (Which is what can happen in June 2021, to City presumably)

From a sporting perspective, he remains the greatest overall player that can influence a match like no other - even last night with Koeman's poor 4-2-3-1 tactics, Messi had all of the 7 shots and denied a pretty clear penalty

All things come to an end but I would prefer he retired at Barca. That being said, if the disastrous sporting approach that Rosell & Bartomeu were responsible for over the past decade is not immediately course corrected with Font or Laporta then I would say I would prefer to see Leo go to City. The player brings joy and I would like to see him happy where he can express himself and entertain us all, even if it isn't at Barca

It's a false narrative this talk of proving himself outside of Spain

He is also, not just about the money - Barcelona is home for him, the fact that he rebuffed City advances previously when they could offer him a blank check speaks to that. He trusted Bartomeu and Barto lied - local Nunista media now hound the player, I'd be fed up if I were him as well. But, his family is well integrated in the city and he has spent the majority of his life there

If Laporta wins and can seduce the player with his project, then yes he stays and I'd be happy with that but if not then I would absolutely advocate him walking away in June to the Etihad to rejoin Pep

At the moment they seem better when he's rested. Barcelona would have to change the whole club structure for Messi to stay imo. Looks completely demotivated to me. Best for both parties if he leaves.

Heard that kind of line so many times from Barcelona and Madrid fans with respect to their big stars and I still think it's a myth.
