It’s hard to understand the rumors that Joan Laporta is considering sacking Xavi, the manager he begged not to leave.
Laporta has always been a showboat, and he has seemingly made decisions on emotions and what his instincts tell him. Sometimes, that leads to chaos, sometimes it leads to good decisions.
But what’s happening here is farcical. Even if Xavi is not sacked, it’s difficult to understand what Laporta is doing. There seems to be a panic, a lack of vision.
Despite some bumps along the road, FC Barcelona was at least trending the right way last year.
