[QUOTE="weasel, post: 534074, member: 14"] They are, but not cos they appointed Koeman. He is about the best they could have got. FFS other names in the runner where Xavi and Theiry Henry. Henry!? Who has 6 months experience nearly taking Monaco down. Xavi is smart enough to know the problems at that club and to realise he cant fix them. Poch was never likely to get it given he is an ex Espanyol player and manager. He was just talked about because he is available and friends with the president. Koeman has experience and will know what the club needs to try and sort itself out. Whether he is allowed to do it, is another matter. Barca’s problem is money. They have none. They spent 140m on Coutinho, 100m on Dembelele and over 100m on Greizeman. None of them have worked out. Add in a lot of ageing stars on massive wages Biscuits, Suarez and Pique, and Messi’s wage of 600kpw (after tax) and you can see the issue. They have the biggest wage bill in world football. Who is going to pay Biscuits, Suarez or Pique a salary that would tempt them to leave? You are talking about probably half a dozen to a dozen clubs, at most. How many of those clubs are going to want to pay big wages for players who are past it? Not many. Barca will struggle to shift those wages off the books. Until they do there won’t be any money for transfers. They were looking to sell players this summer, before Bayern humped them. Even if they do find some money from somewhere, the last signing they made that worked out, was Luis Suarez. That was six years ago. Would you trust a club with THAT kind of record to fix their problems, even if they had money!? Tiz the end if an era. They will continue to dominate in Spain, as it’s a two team league, and they collect the bulk if the La Liga tv rights money. But I suspect their time as a major force on the European scene is coming to an end. [/QUOTE]
