Txiki Begiristain to leave role at end of season

[Really_here]

Show me a link where Pep says, Txiki is the biggest reason he’s stayed here.

I think he's the main reason Pep joined City

Brighton seem to have a decent recruitment process, who is there DOF ..

Quique Quincel at Girona been mentioned already

Why does everyone think its the end once pep and txixi and co leave? Theyre leaving us in fantastic positions our owner and khaldoon will still be here and will ensure a smooth transition

It’s the end of this particular era when they all leave. There’s no doubts about that.
What happens next us the exciting part.
Football has always been cyclical.

Wasn't expecting this, not just yet anyway. Enjoy your retirement Txiki. What a couple of days this has been.

No Sporting Director has a 100% positive track record tbf lol. You can make everyone look shite by using that rhetoric

While I was joking, it just shows that even elite DoFs get some transfers wrong and his replacement might end up with a better hit rate than him so let’s not get too downbeat yet.

Of course we could look back in five years time and think ‘fucking hell, I wish Txiki was still here!’, time will tell.

Juni Calafat from Madrid would be my pick - unbelievable track record and DoF here would be a step up from his current position.

Apparently he was majorly pissed off that he got no mention on peps banner, was seen throwing his jumper on the floor in the tunnel club after the game

Such was his outburst we had to ring chappy to come and sort the mess out as we don’t have a kit man anymore

State of this thread
Some people seriously need to get a grip
Just be grateful the club has lined up a replacement quietly and efficiently. Best run club in the world.

No the entire first team won’t be leaving as some are making out.

If this was the Rags we’d be getting the briefings about them interviewing “best in class” for the next ten months. Khaldoon has got this under control. That’s a supremely competent chairman.

Full faith even if Pep leaves too
