Incredible that people still don't actually understand what his job is.

Txiki Begiristain to leave role at end of season
- Thread starter Don Karleone
- Start date
Does anyone think it wasn’t Txiki’s decision? He either wasn’t getting the money from Khaldoon and Soriano, Txiki (and Pep ) wanted to bring in World class players, and he saw the writing on the wall. Or Khalddon and Soriano saw too many poor buys and £100mill’s wasted on disappointing players over the last 2 seasons, and decided Txiki needed changing, hence beginning in Viana.
It was always Txikis intention to retire at about 60. So there’s no conspiracy or plot from either side. We need to just accept he’s going & welcome his replacement - who the club have monitored & selected for good reasons.Does anyone think it wasn’t Txiki’s decision?

Doesn't matter a jot if the players we were meant to be interested in didn't want to join in the first place or not worth the fee the selling club is valuing their player at. Throwing money doesn't fix the issue either (the rags being prime example). We do need renforcements but it is identifying the right player is the issue.

I don't see how Txiki is the problem. He works as part of a group, the purse strings seem to have been tightened and maybe everyone at the top took their eye off it but I don't see it.Does anyone think it wasn’t Txiki’s decision?

Fully fit, we still have a very good squad.
I just don't see a world where Txiki has been the reason we haven't signed X, Y or Z.

It was arrogance and trusting in Pep to find the marginal gains in the squadDoes anyone think it wasn’t Txiki’s decision?

No back up to your 35 year old right back , Pep will sort it
No back up striker , Pep will sort it
No legs in midfield …you get the idea
Fair enough.It was always Txikis intention to retire at about 60. So there’s no conspiracy or plot from either side. We need to just accept he’s going & welcome his replacement - who the club have monitored & selected for good reasons.
But Txiki’s last two seasons have been poor. Prior to that, he was signing world class players.
Hopefully, Txiki will enjoy his retirement back in Spain. He leaves City with my best wishes and a thank you.
