I think Xavi should resign immediately and put Laporta on the back foot. Barca doesn’t know how to treat a club legend. Xavi resigning will put blame on Laporta and he will be under pressure from public.

Xavi feels that his influence on player selection in the transfer market is virtually non-existent. His primary requirements are a proper winger and a central defensive midfielder. However, the club provided him with Félix and Romeu, while spending significant funds on Roque, who doesn't address the current team needs. Xavi's tactics started to click when Gavi was available, allowing for proper rotational strategies. Nonetheless, the absence of versatile midfield profiles has prevented his tactical plans from fully materializing, causing the team to suffer. Xavi’s approach is not flawed; rather, the issue lies in the composition of the players. They are either exceptionally talented or third-rate, one-dimensional players who struggle to adapt without compromising tactical control. This inconsistency is why Xavi experimented with multiple tactics throughout the season to accommodate different player combinations, prompted by rotations and injuries. The less adept players often got confused by these frequent tactical adjustments, leading to lapses in concentration and increased opportunities for the opposition. Xavi is a tactical mastermind, but the bench strength is failing him. Any other manager would likely face similar challenges over a long season without adequate backups. Barcelona needs a reset in their mentality, shifting from their super-team standards to a more realistic approach aligned with their current capabilities. President Joan Laporta appears more concerned with his public image ahead of the upcoming elections than addressing the on-field problems. Although he brings in money and works hard, he seems disconnected from the actual issues affecting the team. This situation highlights a miscommunication between the director, manager, and players. Barcelona must place their trust in Xavi, who is fully committed to the project. He should be given complete control over the team and the academy for at least three more years, similar to the support Jürgen Klopp received at Liverpool. With Xavi’s guidance, academy players will develop into proper bench options with suitable profiles through adequate game time. Only with this long-term strategy can the team hope to achieve success over a prolonged season. Xavi’s game awareness and tactics are top-notch, recognized by analysts, professionals, and players, even if they are not immediately apparent to the average fan. Esteemed pundits like Pep Guardiola and Thierry Henry acknowledge his tactical acumen. The failure to execute these tactics is not due to Xavi but because the players have been unable to replicate them. Therefore, Xavi’s reliance on academy youth players for these critical positions is a deliberate strategy to develop them into the right profiles over the years. By providing them with proper game time, Barcelona can build a cohesive and effective team capable of sustained success.

Xavi does know how to unit players and become one force not individualism among team

The squad we have now is good enough to make 85-90 points and reach ucl qf, if madrid with mbappe make 90+ points again what can we do, this is the reality at least for this next year. Whoever doesn't understand this is either a) really ignorant or b) a fanatic troll

I Love You Very Much Barcelona! Love From Bangladesh And Barisal.

The statements in the press conference made no sense. Realistically Xavi has done better with a lesser talented team in his first year. That team made light work of Real Madrid at one point. It’s possible too Xavi didn’t get the players he wanted. Agreed the finances aren’t there and it’s common knowledge however, Xavi has lost the plot and his treatment of some players has been noticeable. What if another manager has made himself available to be appointed at the club?

If I were Xavi I would have left the first time and gone to a club with proper financial backing to build a club. No top coach will come to this club knowing they can’t get the players they need it’s pretty much a losing battle. If Xavi leaves they will end up appointing Rafa Marquez which will only be a repeat of the passed seasons. At that point Laporta won’t be able to escape the heat coming his way!!

I think Xavi’s issue is that no other big club will want him.

I interpreted Xavi's comment as noting that years ago the financials all around the footballing world weren't as crazy as they are now. Nowadays, a raw up and coming can easily go for 60+ million, back in the day that didn't exist.

Xavi is not a top team coach, he has a weak mentality, might as well hire Undertaker, to finally bury Barca. he was a great player, don't get me wrong, but a great player does not always mean a great coach and vice versa. Its hard to believe since Lucho, Barca has not been able to hire a top mentality coach. In 15 years they only had two top coaches, Pep and Lucho. where as Madrid have had Zidane, Ancelotti, Mourinho and more. even bayern has had more top mentality coaches in the past 15 years.

so then pep and klopp have an ultra mediocre mentality bcs they got clapped by madrid in the ucl so many times

This might turn out like the Messi situation, where assurances where made that he was staying then boom he was left

Now there saying Raphinna fought with Xavi and his brother honestly sick and tired of this club were supposed to be one of the biggest institutions in the world but teams like Aston Villa are ran better than us

Excellent critical analysis here, Mr. Jamie.

Huh, Font is someone we need to be carefully with for our club

If these rumors are true then lewandoski, Joao Felix and araujo are ungrateful

Watching from Ghana

Honestly the club need stability

This is reminding me of the Messi saga!! One minute u want to do all in your power to make him stay then u throw him under the bus... would be shameful to hv a repeat .

How can anybody look at that Barca team and say we are lacking in any position. What we need is a coach who adapts to the players. The squad is COMPLETELY fine.

I think Laporta wanted Xavi to stay all along. We couldn’t afford a new coach

My theory is that Laporta did want to keep Xavi, but was genuinely surprised about the general reception of the "Xavi-stays" news. I believe Laporta was not fully aware of the general feeling surrounding Xavi, and the negativity that would arise by the news. I believe this caught Laporta, who was outright sleeping in class, by surprise. Suddenly, people was chanting negatively about Laporta and some even wanted him to resign. Let's rewind a bit. It's been a rollercoaster season, but generally a really bad one, given everything that has happened, and not least HOW it happened! When Xavi went public and said he would resign, I believe there was a brief feeling of positivity surrounding every area of the club. Finally there was light at the end of the tunnel, and the club would not have to sack a Barca-legend of Xavi's calibre, even though everyone probably had come to realize that he was not the manager to take us further. EVERYONE EXCEPT LAPORTA THAT IS! Soon after, the results got better and we had a great streak of results, and things were looking bright, and it seemed like all of us fans were thinking of next season, and all the possibilities it had, the potential hiring of a world class manager, like for example Hansi Flick, Luis Enrique, Pep Guardiola, or even Klopp! What players could we sign? How would we play? We could not wait until we got that huge overhaul that the club so desperately needed, and looked to be happening right around the corner! FINALLY WE WERE GOING SOMEWHERE. This positivity spread right across the club, and onto the players, who suddenly was playing well again. Our performances and results improved a lot, with the news of Xavi's imminent departure. ...But then it happen. It was revealed that Xavi would stay on as manager after all!!! A decision that seemed to have Laporta's fingerprints written all over it! Everyone was shocked! Fans and media outlets alike! Suddenly, the massive overhaul was NOT happening after all! Nothing would change! It seemed we were all bound for yet another trophyless season, and European embarrasment. All the positivity towards next season vanished completely with ONE SINGLE DECISION! Xavi would stay on, and the dream of a world class manager was broken. Suddenly negativity creeped back into the team. Results quickly changed for the worse, and our entire season got obliterated in one single week (with an UCL-elimination against PSG, and a La Liga loss in El Clasico). We were back to zero, and with no hope for the future (because Laporta had decided it so, by convincing Xavi to stay!). Now people became very vocal of their dissapointment! HOW COULD LAPORTA NOT SEE WHAT THE CLUB SO DESPERATELY NEEDED???? WAS HE EVEN THE RIGHT PRESIDENT FOR BARCA? People were not only chanting negatively about Xavi's lackluster performance as manager, but NOW also about the resignation of Laporta! Suddenly Xavi was no longer a shield for Laporta to hide behind. I believe Laporta did not forsee this. I believe Laporta was living in the clouds, and suddenly reality hit him! XAVI IS NOT POPULAR AS THE MANAGER OF BARCELONA! and the fact that Laporta orchestrated his "extension", and thus failed to give Barca what it really needed, he made himself a target! The prime target of Barca's failures. I believe Laporta is reacting to this, and has perhaps effectively changed his mind about Xavi. NOT LEAST TO SAVE HIS OWN SKIN. So now he's throwing Xavi under the bus, and it's very unsettling to see. I don't think Xavi has the experience to be a Barca manager, and I think he has made so many tactical mistakes as well as practicing dressing-room-shattering favoratism, but I also don't like to see him treated badly by the club. The club should have let him resign with dignity, and hire a world class manager in his place. Now, Instead, they may have to sack him (and God knows how much that will cost?), while also quite possibly have chased away every interested world class manager, due to the chaos, and the incompentence, that the club has publicly displayed. Hansi Flick, for example, was reportedly very interested in becoming the next Barca-manager, but I really don't know if that's the case any longer? I would not be surprised if he believes that he, and his staff, has been taken for a fools by Barca, and now I see Bayern as possible favorites to get him, despite him initially wanting Barca before Bayern. Who knows, maybe he'll thrash us 8-2 again next season... We are a club run by amateurs! That's the brutal reality! It's just so embarrasing to witness.

Hello Jaimy... Thanks for all the hard work you do to keep us up to date with this crazy era in Barca. If your theory would be right, Laporta trying to please all sides... Then I agree he would have officially taken the stance that he "still believes in Xavi" but in the background he would have immidiately selected another coach so that Xavi didn't have an option to come back... I think we overthink this... We want a top coach, we don't have the money nor is there really a barca style top Coach available this year... So I truly believe that Laporta wanted to keeps things stable for one more year and then with a better financial position and better coach availability, Laporta would chose another coach next year. I think why he changed his mind was because if three things that all happen within a week: - during the sushi meeting, Xavi made a promise to the board that he would stop with his cheap excuses in front of the media... - during the sushi meeting, Xavi promised that he had a strategy to be competitive next year with minimal signings required - The whole Roque situation where Roque's and his agents interview make it it seem that Xavi is not giving Roque proper directions to improve as a spiteful reaction to the board/Deco bringing in Roque instead of the players Davis was asking for... I think his statements in the news broke My two above-mentioned points.. And then the roque deal has just added fuel to the fire...

i am first to say Xavi is not the coach for Barca and he should go, but this is not the way now, Laporta is srsly acting childish, should just let the man go when he told he would leave, he was begging him to stay publicly, and now to fire him?? Laporta should also ask himself what on earth is he doing too, since the Deco arrival , things are going downfall, and downfall only, Deco should leave to. Good thing is now there is Flick available, Tuchel, and now De Zerbi, so we will see, but someone like Rafa Marquez should not even be an option, or the next season is again without trophy, we should finally put aside this bullshit called "Barca DNA coach", there is no such a thing as "Barca DNA" anymore, its gone long ago, get a coach with actual European experience finally!

There’s also the dynamic of Xavi colluding with Fort and other board members to get Laporta out. If this is happening behind the scenes, it could be why Laporta is now pushing for Xavi to go.

This is what xavi meant when he said sometimes the environment around the club can get too toxic. How do you fire a coach not for sporting reasons but because he exposed the fact that we’re struggling financially. This is a fact the whole world knows then why are the board angry about it.

This man was supposed to be on holidays. LMAO. what a joke of a holiday. This guy will make videos for us no matter what. I love you jammie. You are the best thing that us Culers have. You mean so much to us all. Thank you .

Remember what Real Madrid did to Schultzter on his comments before El Classico.

The fact that all of those players mentioned are non Catalan / La Masia players speaks volumes.

for real not even one what is happening to barca

How many of the players we have right now were not signed by Xavi? The amount of money we have spent even with our financial situation is more than enough to compete. We lost to Girona by 4-2 in two ties and look at the budget of Girona. Xavi gets played by many coaches and it is clear his tactics are not working. The board can't trust Xavi with all these signings because he may destroy our club with the only money we have left. I love Xavi but this is not his position at the club.

Unfortunately, i think there has been a bias in feeling towards xavi from this page and it has really altered how much i want to listen to Jamie in recent times. I understand the frustration and have been a part of this club since 2004 sharing in the highs and big lows . Xavi have passed most of the expectations required from him since joining us , Picked us from a sinking ship level, helped us manage senior-aged players with their attitude, reregulated the dressing room, got us to the Champions League knockout stage, won us the league. Now he also has some expectations from the club of his life and one of it helps me get the players i love and like , doesn't just burn me out with the expectation of managing players you love especially when he has to compete with a structure as solid as real madrid consistently, we always complain about the roque situation, what if the young lad is still adapting to the culture of a brand new level or isn't responding efficiently to his new environment, we all know this happens and even Neymar struggled in his first season. We all sing the praise of today but Pep couldnt play with the likes of Ronaldinho eto and Deco in his first season for Barca and got rid of them quick enough even though these were easily among the top 5 players in the world. Pep benched ibrahimovic for half of a season after we signed him for good money and yet we managed that . Sanchez and Fabregas featured in only about 40% of games and started 10% in their first season after joining barca and the list could go on and on . My theory is Xavi have suffered a lot for us , he has carried a lot of the burden and baggage most managers from the past couldnt handle and he has made it look easy even when its killing him , observe his mood in recent times and you can tell he's burnt out , he decides to finally resign to get a break and then realizes that probably might not be the best decision for the club as we will struggle to hire an Elite coach , so he has decided to come back and continue the fight but now, maybe now he doesn't want to carry all of the burdens alone and cover all of the shit alone especially since the whole weight falls on him . maybe now he wants us to know the real challenges he's faced with and needs some of our love and support!

My theory is that they all see that the club is not performing well in these last games of the season and they know that with 2 tough games still to play, we may still not finish second place. They are trying to move our focus away from that so that we don't see how bad the team is currently and they just sway the rumors about the coach's future

Don’t think so, Jamie. If Laporta had wanted Xavi out he would have hired a coach so that there was no going back.

your theory is wrong, because laporta had a meeting with xavi to specifically try to convince of him staying, and fabrizio himself confirmed that the club never tried to search for any other manager because they wanted to keep xavi.

We love you Xaviii❤❤❤❤❤❤

When xavi started to speaking truth now he is the villian. It's a fact that we can't compete with madrid no need to back board in my opinion xavi is absolutely right fans must know the truth (which they already knew)

You aren't wrong but where are the standards within the club and from Xavi?? We should Never admit any sort of defeat to our bitter rivals. Also, did we not beat them last season in 2 trophies?? So what's changed???

Jaime, You might be spot on man!

I look at this circus a bit differently. Xavi went through a patch of bad performances that led to him giving up on the project and announcing his decision to resign at the end of the season. The board continued to believe in him during this period and publicly backed him several times. Eventually, results improved and seemed to have turned a corner. During the dinner at Laporta's house, Xavi assured the board that he believed he could make the team competitive with the resources available to him. The board went a step further to suggest some changes in his backroom staff to mitigate some of the inexperience and issues in the coaching department. Xavi declined these proposals, and the board backed him again because he assured them that the resources available were sufficient. A few weeks later, Xavi tells the world he does not have the resources to be competitive with Barcelona. The opposite of what he made the board believe. This after some bad PR of Xavi's handling of players, exposing the inexperience the board had tried to resolve with improvements in backroom staff. The board had backed Xavi throughout, and they genuinely believe he has gone back on his pledge/assurance.

Thank you for the update Jamie 💯❤️ for me I have the full believe that Xavi will not fulfill his contract before he leave,if he is not sacked now but he will be sacked in the middle of the coming season.

It’s not in danger I dont see laporta sacking xavi It’s the other members and oligarch families in catalonia who are creating all these noise

Xavi said it will be difficult to compete with real Madrid next season, I mean I understand Laporta like what sought of message is he sending to our players already the team have been told Indirectly by there coach that they are not good enough compared to there rivals that's unlike a Barca coach. that's bad

He's not leaving mark my words

I don't even think any of the players really like Xavi other than Gavi, Yamal, Cubarsi, and Fermin. and these are the young chaps that really do not understand somethings yet

Your theory was very funny but understandable at the same time 😂💓

If we're being objective and realistic, here we all knew Xavi's renewal was not a genuine decision. The fans didn't like it, the board didn't want it. It was just a decision made just because we don't have resources to sign anyone else. The quote wasn't anything special. Xavi and laporta himself have said similar things before. This whole uproar is either political or because the board are thinking they've seen a better option. All these "we want Xavi to stay" was just a facade

I think it has a lot with Xavi not working with what the club can give him

the truth is Laporta realizes that as soon as Xavi announced he is leaving the team started winning and playing better and as soon as they announced Xavi is staying the performance changes again. this shows that the players are not happy for Xavi to continue leading. this is why he want to make the change now

Xavi is being realistic bruh.

The theory about Laporta not wanting Xavi to stay from the start seems the most plausible. It makes sense as he didn't want to seem like a villain pushing out a club legend, but he must've not expected Xavi to change his mind and stay, because all this nonsense of players complaining and Xavi's press conference making Laporta angry seem to be very, very weak excuses to sack him, especially when Xavi has been giving these types of press conferences for over a year at this point.

I mean with all due respect I don’t believe what Xavi said was completely out of line and it’s confusing me why the whole board is angry with his words. We are in a situation where we can’t bring players in without selling, loaning, or getting on a free, while our rivals are bringing in superstars to challenge for ten years minimum. The board is upset because xavi said what needed to be said, we are in a moment where we need rebuilding to do, and a lot of that involves us selling some of our team, which needs to happen. We also gotta restructure what made us elite, we don’t need to bring in every player on a free since we got a whole academy that can provide to us. And another thing the board needs a whole rethink on this situation publicly. We’re in a financial mess, but there making us more than that rn and I fear we could fall deeper. Everyone stop being fucking clowns and start doing their jobs, xavi needs to improve on his job, Laporta needs to lose weight and focus on the financial problem, deco needs to start looking for La masia kids that can elevate us and transfers, and the board need to stop being so bitchy and fucking run our club properly. Fuck sake man start our change instead of bullshitting stupid shit. We just proved this season that even tho we were ass this team can compete, just matters if u actually focus on everything that isn’t outside the club atm

We are turning from “mes que un club” to a “mess of a club”. Really sad and fed up: Xavi’s unstable personality (look at his red cards), players that underdeliver and mis-management of personalities. Can we just get a calm coach that knows what he is doing?

Love his honesty, a bit brutal and hard to hear .Madrid have essentially another galacticos team , barca are on the right path it will take another 3/4 years to become true barca again

The board should accept the fact that Xavi just said the truth. No way Barca would be able to compete with RM especially in purchasing top and correct players. The truth hurts definitely. This board are a bunch of poops.

I'm even struggling to finish a game watching where is that Barca type of play that Xavi played during his time that is why he came to Barca to bring back that memory 💔💔💔 Xavi

I still believe xavi is the right man for barca what ever is happening behind doors that we supporter's don't know about must end, and it must end very very fast because they are confusing the young talent that we have in the plub I really hope they resolve their situation big up barca❤❤❤❤

Same Xavi also said "Nothing has changed about my future" during the time he announced he was leaving, it's now confusing honestly
