ok Im delaying on finishing my lunch(at work) until I reply here cuz couldnt hold myself back!lol
Excellent news, its great to have him on board until next season.
but,but, and plz plz dont take it personally bc I know how much you love him and what he's done for Barcelona: I disagree with your "life-long contract" suggestion. cuz first of all, Barca isnt the same FLAWLESS team as it was last season, so we'll most likely(if not surely) notice a decreased number of Trophies won by Barca this season.. bc the team and squad are just not as motivated as last season..and thats not good news for any club and coach..remember how Wenger's job was (rightly maybe!) threatened end of last season bc Arsenal was soooo crap, and players so out of motivation? well guess what? by that losing-job threat, Wenger bounced back much much stronger, actually CHANGED Arsenal's typical 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 this season, somehow managed to motivate our players a lot, and we are in to compete for EPL title this season, and Arsenal squad doesnt seem like aiming for anything less..
I hope you know what Im saying..cuz the last thing I want, is great Guardiola being victimized like Rijkaard by Barca club..bc of having 1-2 less impressive team performance/result..
Right now everything that should be happening for this club is happening.
They are head and shoulders above everyone else in Europe. As a matter of fact in the world.
lol, I beg to differ Keyvan jan!
Barca is NOT head and shoulder above everyone else in Europe THIS SEASON. Unfortunately so..but Im pretty sure they have the resources, integrity and will-power to bounce back even stronger next season.
Ok but wouldn't you love to see threads titled:
"Guardiola leaves Barca, we should get him for Team Melli"
"IFF should snatch Guardiola before it's too late"
"Poll: Who is a better coach for Team Melli? Ghotbi or Guardiola?"
"Guardiola should complete his resume by taking over Iran"
"IFF in serious talks with Guardiola"
"Guardiola leaves Barcelona to coach Iran"
"Guardiola loves Iran"
and so on
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!
hahahha omg cant stop laughing at this!!! yani khoda boood Soroush!! haha thanx for the laugh! needed it a lot after a long day at work so far!!lol
Then again as discussed before Guardiola needs more power than being a coach as a matter of fact he want to have more votes and take over Tixiki's job as a sports director to have hands on transfers and co-ordinate the whole show while holding his current coaching position, Which to me is a very good thing for the sake of the club . I believe Laporta promised him the position and he is waiting to see what happens with the presidential election and to see what he gets and what he doesn't after the election . At lease this is my understanding of this decision unless I am wrong but I think Mahdi can say more about it
Well this is how it works in Almost 90% of EPL . Why has not been a regulation in Spain then I really don't know
Again disagreed, look how screwed up that "sport director idea, hence reduced coaching power in transfer market" has been in EPL..ie: Mark Hughes at Man City is a perfect example, and any Chelsea coach for that matter who has been in charge so far..or even Portsmouth..
On the other hand, you notice a much more improving and enhanced team success when the coach is given FULL CONTROL in Transfer market, with proper financial means of course. ie,Ferguson at ManU and Wenger at Arsenal. even if they fail miserably one season(4 seasons in Wenger's case!
), these kind of managed teams/coaches will bounce back much much STRONGER the following season, bc Ferguson and Wenger have always had full control of Transfer market, hence any mistake they make, coaches are the only ones being held accountable for their mistakes(so no excuse of corrupted club management,etc as in Man City, Liverpool, RealM) and hence they'll do their BEST to prove pundits wrong and win title following season, just to prove pundits are wrong when they claim that they(Ferguson and Wenger) as legendary/smart coaches, are 'just not good enough anymore'..!
