If Koeman writes a farewell letter then he'd need a canvas as big as Laporta's

If Ronald Koeman wrote a farewell letter, and it remains to be seen if he does, he would need a canvas as large as the one Joan Laporta used to win the Barcelona presidential elections.

Because if Zinedine Zidane found arguments with which to reproach Real Madrid, the Dutchman, who is also a club legend, could do it in instalments for what has happened in the final days at Barcelona.

In the end, some football leaders without a chequebook are all about marketing. The lack of management of the Barcelona president in a vital matter such as the choice of the coach is not acceptable. Between the fact that he did not appoint Koeman and the fact that Xavi Hernandez was part of the other candidacy, he has run out of options. Because appointing Pep Guardiola is a dream that Barcelona have no capital to make happen.

I wonder what Laporta has been up to all this time. What do you expect to happen these days to unblock a situation in which players are arriving without knowing who is going to be in the dugout?

He has already met with the coach and they have told each other everything they had to say. And we know that the current market situation has not convinced him in terms of his future plans. It seems obvious that money is a crucial issue in this whole matter because if there was capital for a settlement then it would possibly already be signed. But, if there is no money to fire the coach, where is it going to come from to pay the new one?

Meanwhile, the Dutchman is stoically awaiting Barcelona out of personal interest and also because it doesn't make sense for him to make a move.

There has been a great strategic error to start off this project. Going in another direction is allowed, but this should have been agreed in advance to comply with a tight calendar, avoiding discrediting the project as the days go by and avoiding making amends to a club legend who, despite the many technical deficiencies he has, has risen to the challenge despite the club's delicate situation.

Joan, we too are glad to to see you again.
