Anfield still hasn't left Barcelona.
Valverde didn't resign as two seasons ended up destroyed rather than one. Roma, Anfield now an empty third season. Losing the league to this Real Madrid side is nothing short of a disgrace, even with the VAR "mistakes" included.
Valverde didn't have any dignity to leave when he should have. Bartomeu is to blame too, man doesn’t have a spine. Lucho and Guardiola left when they thought that was it for them. That's respect for Barcelona.
No coach could have dragged Barcelona out of its destruction by taking over in January like Setien did. However, Quique still is a disappointment.
Setien came to the club brandishing his love for Cruyff and how football should be played, but that was out of his mind months after he signed his contract to deal with this squad.
It's not about the job being too big, his football beliefs were short-lived, he went all in for results... Just to lose La Liga and the Spanish Cup anyway. Setien didn't stand for what he believes, preferred to be a yes man to Bartomeu to fulfil his impossible dream.
No point dwelling on this. Setien shouldn't be given the chance to manage the club in the Champions League. Appoint Pimienta, let the players self manage, it’s what the squad wanted. Setien had no agency against these players, he was setup to fail.
It took the Barcelona players less than a month to decide they didn’t like Setien. It was downhill from there.
