Txiki Begiristain to leave role at end of season

People keep mentioning letting Palmer go - in hindsight, obviously an error - but I think it was decided that Oscar Bobb was going to be a better bet. Bobb was looking superb pre-season and if it wasn’t for his unfortunate injury this season’s narrative may have been very different. We really have been devastated by injuries.
 
The quality of injured players goes up directly proportionately to the length of time they are injured.

Should be careful with judging players off pre-season.

Scott Sinclair was our best player in one pre-season, and Kelechi Iheanacho in a another.
 
Went through all of Txiki's summers.
It is of course Txikis fault that X, Y and Z were a miss because of injuries, player not settling, manager deciding on a different direction mir season and so on.

There's maybe 2/3 players on that list that I would objectively say are not good and should never have been bought.
They go back and earn their wages by finding someone Pep is happy with, or could coach to be better at scoring goals than everyone we have now apart from Haaland.

There must be discussions within the club, I can’t see Pep just being shown a list and having to choose one or nobody. There are plenty of decent players out there, it’s the club’s job to find out who’s good enough and then if they’d be interested in signing. I’m sure lots of good players would be interested in playing for the champions and managed by Pep. It seems we didn’t try very hard to find them.
Well we will never know. I refuse to believe that the club "didn't work very hard", performance analysis and recruitment is continuous, they aren't contractors we bring in for a summer. Pep has been given everything he has wanted since he arrived, signing after signing and hundreds of millions spent and then all of a sudden it stops. What was the reason?

We have no idea what constraints the club are working with in regards to the 115 case for starters and Pep could hardly have for seen a huge injury crisis.

Without the injuries we started the season unbeaten and we're going great guns.
 
You know what mate let’s just see what happens . Hopefully it’s thrown out and we then start again .
So you make a statement that prejudges the outcome negatively for City I might add. I refute that post and then you come back at me and say let’s wait. Why did you not wait before making a negative judgement ? Rag ?

We’ve been regarded as the best team in the world in recent years (along with Real Madrid) so the players were pretty good to start with.

I suspect that you've got two different posters mixed up there bud.

Are for real . Why is it if someone makes a post and it seems negative they are a fucking rag ! What I said was we could get hit with a transfer ban and I used the word could not would and suddenly your all over it about what do I know but tbh I know the same as you which is fuck all zilch nothing . Rag ha get a fucking grip .
 
Txiki and Pep is the modern Brian Clough and Peter Taylor if one of Clough/Taylor were extremely average to poor at his job and the other so world class that he makes the other one look good. Happy retirement Txiki, a couple of years to late
