Does anyone question Txiki ‘s incredibly powerful position? Genuine question. ONE man entirely responsible for so much? Is this the same at every top club?
How did he get the post? is he regarded as the best at what he does - it seems our owners must think so. Is he the Adrian Newy of football?
Hired as a negotiator only I assume. So the board and Pep tell him what they want and it’s his sole job to sort it out. Problem is, he doesn’t seem to me to have the success at that that I’d like to see.
i haven’t seen anyone questioning him here, is it a no go zone for chat/opinion by mere supporters because he’s untouchable?
what does anyone think?

With what he has delivered since he has been here. Then yeah he's pretty untouchable. Never mind if we sacked him then Pep would walk the day after.

How on earth anyone can look at what City and the wider CFG have achieved since he arrived and think he is the problem I don't know.

As for your question is this the same at every club. No, and it's because those clubs don't have a Txiki they are always chasing us every year.

For someone who writes a lot, you mustn't read very much.

Txiki bashing on here is a daily routine for many.

You mean the man responsible for Pep joining the club, the man who helped us sign spine of the team such as Ederson, Walker, Dias, Rodri, KDB, Haaland, etc., hasn't done enough for you? The man who has given Pep the resources he needs to dominate the league, breaking multiple records in the process?

Aye, but Any1aBlue thinks he's a chancer with no CV.

Still 2 weeks to go until the start of the season proper.

But If anyone thinks we’re going to win either the PL title or CL again after losing Mahrez and Gundogan, and only having the current team and squad, you can think again.

Revenues of £700mill according to Soriano, current transfers in and out are against player wise, and wages are a positive reduction for the club.

It’s funny how you don’t name the signing we’ve made, and just say ‘only having the current team and squad’.

So effectively we are 1 player short from the squad that ended last season, not to mention McAtee having returned, and you’re giving up already because we’ve not signed anyone else?

Ok.

 

[Any1aBlue]

It causes irrational thinking.

You and your mate obviously are flappers who believe any old tosh posted on twitter.

And yes, as you keep wanting to remind people, you are entitled to an opinion. Well, mine is, you need to wise up and not panic reading social media.

Ah, resorting to flapping soundbites eh.
He’s not my mate - I’ve no idea who he is. And, as I clearly stated - I don’t do Twitter or any other social media except Bluemoon. please read before dashing in ‘mate’.
Glad you’re getting the ‘entitled to an opinion‘ message. I’m also pleased my preaching is getting through to the sloping foreheads at last (not that you are one of those).

I reckon this thread hits a thousand pages and it's game on.

Because people just love to have strong opinions on absolutely everything, even if it's something they know nothing about.

The type of people who rant about Txiki whenever they don't get their shiny new toys give off the impression that there are three employees at the club; Pep to do the football stuff, Txiki to do the transfer stuff and Khaldoon to do annual interviews.

No, that’s not true is it? I asked for opinions and answers from sensible itk folk as some of us don’t know. When I read stuff here where he is being questioned and criticized, I wonder if it’s justified.
I’ve not and never have criticized your beloved leader, but I should have the right to. But you obviously you do know and we can all move on…….

Not a soundbite at all, you and your mate are flappers. Slightest negative remark made by some twitter no mark and the end is neigh.

You might not do twitter direct, but agreeing with your bezzie, who clearly does, makes you an equal on that front.

Your latest post about Txiki is embarrassing btw

He’s not untouchable, no one is in the club if they are doing a poor job. However I would imagine the barometer for performance in Txiki’s job is ultimately what happens in the pitch. The club has just won an unprecedented treble, so he certainly has some money in the bank on how well he is doing his job. There’s still August to go in this window, no one had a clue we were signing Akanji until it happened. Let’s see what the squad looks like on the 1st of September before we panic.
