Txiki Begiristain to leave role at end of season

For all the good he's done, it's obvious that last seasons' recruitment hasn't been good enough. Whether this was part of a succession plan or that there has been something with the pending law cases stopping us from getting new players, I don't know. Not totally convinced by Pep wanting a small squad either, signs were there last season already and this year we're really paying the price. Should we win the 115 case, Viana will probably have lots of funds to rebuild the squad with considering all the profits we've made recent seasons.
 
I cant help but very angry at him. as a director of football surely squad planning, transfer planning is part of his main tasks. setting overall football philosophy was done early on across all age levels so thats not something actively needs doing each year, but squad planning does need yearly follow up, changes, new ideas etc.

our transfer performance on the incoming side is pretty bad since the treble win. we used to say judge players in their second season as they might flop in their debut season but come to life in the 2nd season and have been examples of that, well Nunes, Doku, Gvardiol, I am not sure they have great seasons. Gundo and Savinho neither.

leaving the squad rely on quite old players in multiple positions, not enough alternatives for the crucial Rodri and Haaland, we have to use very old number 8s in umber 6 or a winger in striker position is our alternative. selling Alvarez without replacement..

I still dont understand what was our plan with Rice or Bellingham if we managed to get any of them. or even Paqueta. surely not to give them the role and minutes of Nunes.

not much makes sense since the treble win. but we are paying now the price of it.

Might all be part of the 115..we drop out of everything..prem may go easier on us
 
He knows the size of the task it's going to be to rebuild and I think that's the main reason he's leaving. Huge task for Viana to reinvigorate this squad
 
Built a team that dominated English football. I’ll never have a bad word to say about him. Yeah, we’re fucking wank at the minute but we’re currently knee deep into an injury crisis. We should have refreshed the squad last summer, but what can we do now? I don’t think it’s right to slag off any management or player that has brought us so much success. Viana will be here next summer, which is exciting, but in the same time interesting as we gauge how good Txiki was.
 
This is the man that should be sacked tomorrow if we still want to be a ambitious club that holds people accountable for their perfromances.
 
he and his scouts decided Nunes is the signing that is going to help us after we missed out on Bellingham, Rice, Paqueta. a year after they decided Kalvin Phillips will be a shrewd signing.

now we are paying the price for these transfers on the pitch while we still pay their hefty amortized fees for them for a bit more years.

to be fair losing patience with Doku as well if he is ever gonna be a great winger for us scoring/assisting regularly as his off the ball play is a big weakness already and not much in the offensive side of his games this season.
