nateevs: It's almost certain now that RDM will not get the job even if he wins the CL. Reports flying around suggest that Roman and the men is suit are all not happy about the manner in which Chelsea qualified for the final.

AjanleKoko: Well, it's pretty obvious, isn't it?
The club is obviously trying to preserve the current mindset, and build on it. Effectively, Pep will still coach Barca in absentia. Probably even return to the club in some functional capacity. Maybe a future director of sporting, maybe a president even.

Expect to see a new progression of coaches, from the Juvenil and B Team coaches. Oscar Garcia, Luis Enrique . . . it now looks like they will also coach Barca soon. Just the same way they are trying to blood La Masia products. It's a financially-motivated approach, and can work with little hiccups for the next 4-6 years.

AjanleKoko: Actually that's not a bad choice.

montelik: With all due respect to Jose's achievements. Let me say a big GOD FORBID to Jose taking charge at O.T.

pat077: Why nt use d moni to create employment

Johnpaul88: I hope this is false!
Pep is Barca and Barca is him.
We cannot afford to have him go now, not now nor ever! I will like him to do a Ferguson with us. He is the best that happened to us.
I don't want us to look back and regret that he left or to see him as one that got away!

Pep pls remain with us!
Mane nobis, Pep!

seunbballo: Who remembers when all bobos gets to the pitch and everyone start shouting: ''I One'' - The ist person to choose players...loool

Colleoni: [/size][size=8pt]which do u think will be better for a Man of God to do?
build orphanages to help the homeless and d less privileged or build d best university that an average Nigerian can afford or build d best university that only d senators children can afford?

NOTE: an average Nigerian is actually poor

antartica: A man that accuses children of witchcraft and violently beats them up publicly in the 21st century world,a synthetic world,does not deserve to be a part of reception class for toddlers,talkless of running a university.

His views,actions and opinions of life are quite contrary to learning.One can't teach or learn and at he same time be completely deluded.He is in a position that he doesn't deserve,reaping the gullible off and using sweat to embark on spending adventures.

AjanleKoko: So Man United fans like better thing . . .
But he is a class act, this guy. He showed steel nerves as a player, the French version of the Kaiser. Interestingly, he played for both United and Barcelona as a player, but didn't seem to enjoy himself much at both clubs. Fergie did say once that he always knew Blanc was going to be a coach, as he spent much of his time at United studying the training methods, the coaching styles and regimen.

There is also a scary rumour about Villas-Boas. God forbid. Not that he's a bad coach, but I don't want us to be his rebound club. He needs to find himself all over again, but not with Barca.

sebod: [/color][color=#550000]

i think bielsa of bilbao is better because of his tatics and simillar attacking style of play, ilove pep alot but i think he has to move on but dont really like him for chelsea job

AjanleKoko: Cules,
Some mixed news. Rumours are rife that Pep has decided not to renew. He's having lunch with Rosell today, and will meet the players afterwards.
A press conference might be called tomorrow Friday.
I say mixed, because though I am sad he's not staying, I think he needs the break from the pressure. He doesn't have the stomach for the high-pressure top coacing environment. I certainly do not see him going to Chelsea, though if he does, I wish him well.

His replacement? Rumours are also rife that it is none other than the very intelligent and charismatic Laurent Blanc. If that happens, that is an excellent choice. I totally respect Blanc, he was a leader on the pitch, and is a very astute fellow. At Marseille, they called him 'Le President'. He's a Beckenbauer type of figure.

AjanleKoko: Well, good news. Shakira has broken up with Pique

pazienza: Barca fans are just delusional,so busquet,sanchez,mascherano,pique,pedro are now exceptional players? Can you really say that these guys are the best in the positions they play in europe right now?

I know its hard for you guys to take,but the truth is that barca will never be that one team the whole world fears again,age has finally caught up with the engine of the team,Xavi, fabregas is still a long way from being the next xavi,and am sure that pep knows that this team can only go lower,the guy is going to bolt before the house clashes on him.

AjanleKoko: You think, or you hope?

These same comments were made in 2010, when Inter dumped us out of the CL semis, and went on to win the competition.
People are talking like we just got bundled out of the group stages of CL, like Manchester United were

This is the semi-finals. Another team were better this time around, so we lost. Shikena. Same goes for the league. We had a bad run, we eventually are second in the league, with 4 games to go. It's not like we are 6th in the league or something, or facing relegation. We're even in the final of our domestic cup competition.

Barca's era is far from over, no matter how much people wish it were. The club is one of the biggest clubs in the world (3rd in terms of brand valuation), with many talented players, and the money to strengthen the squad, despite the much -advertised financial troubles. Many of the core players (Pique, Alves, Messi, Busquets, Pedro, even Sanchez), are under 25, and still have many seasons in their legs. Mascherano, Iniesta and Alves are still under 30. We have a bunch of sensational youngsters coming through (Thiago, Cuenca, Tello, Montoya), and I am sure at least one or two of these guys will come good. We definitely won't win the league or the UCL every year for the next 10 years, since other clubs are also working hard and spending money (imagine Madrid with 400m euros of investment in players and coach), but we will still do a lot of damage to teams along the way, and challenge for trophies till the end.

I still see a brighter future for Barca than, say, most of the top teams in the EPL, frankly speaking. Ageing stars, overpriced youngsters . . . In fact Manchester City looks like the team of the future over there.

mbulela: this things come in cycles. I think the Barcelona reign is over. No amount of rebuilding can save it.
It will never be as good as before.

Ibime: In the bible, David had to chide Joab for killing Absalom on his behalf.

Lets just say that even Odili did not know when some of his political enemies were eliminated and had to chide his boys on at least one occasion for overzealousness in protecting oga's political interests.

Some guys forget that certain saints they proclaim today were their oga's eyes, ears, mouth and hand during the most murderous regime Rivers State (or any state in the Federation) has ever seen.

As for Epomas contention, it is not beer parlour gossip, although open to embellishment and people who add jara. Viki boys run Rivers State and Speaker of the "House of Vikings" is no saint.

Delafruita: @E nice
in amaechi vs omehia,the supreme court ruled that it is parties that contest elections and not individuals.in ararume vs pdp,the court ruled that though primary elections are conducted by the party,they must still conform with the constituition.i still believe the supreme court should have heard this case on its merit
