Txiki Begiristain to leave role at end of season

[northstander62]

i will hold my hand up and admit i blamed txiki and the other guy from barcelona, his name escapes me, for some of the things that happened years ago with the sacking of mancini prior to the final, exactly what his involvement was i don't know, so i will hold my hand up and admit i was wrong.
most of his work goes unnoticed except for the signings, of which his negotiation skills and getting deals over the line for the players Pep wanted is second to none.
Thankyou Txiki and i hope the 1894 group sort out a banner for you to show you our appreciation the the great work you've done the last 12 years or so

Very quickly sorted as expected, and great that he’ll have a 6 month handover period to ensure the smoothest of transitions. I wonder if we’ll see a 17/18 style transfer window next summer with a handful of relatively young, promising players coming in to freshen up the squad

I’d love a couple of 2010 level signings next Summer:

Whoever replaces him, as long as they have a cashmere jumper and a biro, we’ll be reet.

This...

This is all you need to be a top, top, top, DOF!

Some summer that was, Kolarov was also on that picture along with a certain Mr Boateng, the latter was a dudu but still had a very good career in Germany.

What an amazing summer transfer window that was.

Sorry to see him leave after doing a great job.

Matchday thread won’t be the same after he is gone

Something major needs to happen because the squad has been allowed to age and replacements with a few exceptions have been below the standard required. To be honest Txiki has left a major rebuild for his replacement, that should never have been allowed to happen.

That window gave us the best midfield in the country for the next 7 or 8 years.

How we need a repeat this summer.

You can tell from Txiki’s name. Spanish and French names that have an ‘X’ in them are often Basque names.

Txiki is not his name. His name is Aitor.

Txiki is his nickname, wich means "small" in basque language.

Surprised his nickname wasn`t "Alig" then.
