Drowning more and more in stagnation. Xavi is not the right choice yet. He doesn't have the personality that Pep Guardiola does. He's a soft man. Love the guy, but he ain't no boss material.
Messi does not run the club. All he ever asked for in a half-hearted way was for Neymar to come back and even that was simply out of desperation because the club was sinking. He doesn't know what the club needs. He just knows this ain't it.
