Episode 1673: Liverpool’s Line To God, Ole’s Options, Ronaldo’s Naps, Barca’s New Coach
Most of today’s show is us talking to Rory Smith and Miguel Delaney about Barcelona’s appointment of Quique Setien and why the Catalan superclub is not in the habit of appointing superstar coaches.
Barcelona make more money than any other club in the world, basically by selling the image of style and sophistication they built up in that golden Guardiola era. The challenge Valverde couldn’t meet, and that Setién must, is living up to that memory. https://t.co/6UIRd8ityQ
