Txiki Begiristain to leave role at end of season

Txiki can only work with what the club allow him and his team to spend.

It very much has seemed that the purse strings were tightened.

Though we've still spent a lot, the players recruited just haven't been good enough.
I would love to know why we were so reluctant to spend last summer.

Was it because the club thought Pep was leaving and they were stop piling cash for the new guy in charge?

Whatever it was a strange decision and one that has horribly backfired.
 
Grealish 100m, Nunes 50m and Phillips 40m, 190m and we have seen little.

And let's not forget what these guys are pulling in every week, that's a lot of cash for little return.

If you put all 3 on the market tonight, what would we get back? 70-80m tops for me and that would be some great deal in our favour.
Grealish was instrumental in the Treble culmination and has 3 PL titles - so not really very little.
Nunes and Phillips - bizarre treatment of both - but "seen very little" is an appropriate assessment. Not entirely their fault.

He had a very, very good period from November until the last weeks of the season, that apart he has been underwhelming at the very least.

When you look at the previous 4 summers, only Haaland, Alvarez and Gvardiol are decent signings, that’s a horrendous return when you look at money spent and factor in the players we got rid of. He admitted the summer of 2023 wasn’t great so you have to ask what caused the club to remain stagnant the summer after.
 
It was arrogance and trusting in Pep to find the marginal gains in the squad

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
It’s hard to disagree but we did win everything anyway.

Arrogance tho? Nah don’t see it. Fell asleep for a min and relaxed.
