I thought this was just an inevitable decline just like Rijkaards team went downhill after Ronaldinho lost steam. Not sure how much can be done with the 2 transfer window ban coming in. Barsa needs to be really careful now. Guardiola's last season was the beginning of the decline, you could see it on his face, and he talked about it recently: the players weren't going to die for him anymore so he left. Which is normal for a team that won everything, right? But he wanted to make some changes, he didn't want to leave like that. He asked to sell players (Alvés, Cesc, Villa, Piqué, iirc) but the direction refused probably because they thought the players were more important than the coach, and that it could have been perceived as a very bad move by the supporters. Anyway, since Rosell arrived in 2010 he made sure that almost no one from Laporta's staff remained in the club, including Guardiola, Cruijff, the basketball (or handball?) coach, a cantera coach (that was close to Cruijff)... That would have been "normal" if it was some political office but it's a sports club and these guys were doing a great job. Concerning the team management, he decided that it was worth sacrificing 2 transfer windows to get Neymar (because he paid a big part of the transfer cost in advance) when the team had other needs (CB???). For what reason? Because Neymar is a huge marketing product that the supporters will instantly idolize (reminds you something? Real Madrid's style) and because Rosell could please his Nike friends at the same time. In the meantime he made sure his friends in the medias took care of Cruijff's and Laporta's reputation (not that this last one never did anything wrong in his life :p). He also wanted to get rid of Valdés when Laporta got elected president but Laporta/Rijkaard refused. That might explain why Valdés want to leave now, without even considering a new offer from Barça  Now he left because he had to, but Barcelona still have a "Rosellista" as a president. If they don't have a reelection in June, I think (and hope) a lot of socios will start protesting :o | ||

Of course the first thing Rosell did was to cancel the whole thing. | ||

I can't believe West Brom dropped the points to Tottenham yesterday. I went out leaving them 3:0 up with a bit smile on my face and was more than a little bit disappointed when I read the final score. Although a fair bit of my smile came from watching a French stream and hearing the commentator repeatedly say 'Le baggies'. I don't know why I find that so amusing. | ||
