Barcelona’s board makes panicked decisions and has no long term plan

Media reports about the decision-making process under the current presidency of Josep Maria Bartomeu reveal a panicked administration which reacts in the moment only, with no clear long-term vision.

We see it again in the rumored appointment of Ronald Koeman. Now, the Dutchman has his successes and his failures, and no one can know with certainty whether this will be another hit or another miss. But the way he was appointed, going by media reports, point to this jittery, slap-dash way of running a club.

It was reported that Bartomeu was keen on announcing Mauricio Pochettino as manager until the 2-8 defeat to Bayern Munich.
