Class act. Agree about having Guardiola as a second in command but with all-powerful Cruyff behind the scenes he probably he is anyway...

Another grey year for all the culés!This club smells bad, often like rotten. People have no memory, players who don't give his maximum, and lots of promises that once again, finished unfulfilled. I always argue with "true culés" about the way they support this team, it's exactly what you say. An many of them have no logic arguments(they recognize that!), Barça is so much for them, that all sign of consciousness disappears, love or hate, there's no midpoint. We should learn from the english:respect, love, and festive attitude. We should start thinking about selling beer, or other initiatives to help the public supporting the team, there's too many frustated grandfathers in Camp Nou, we need more young and shouting culés! Cruyff said that every coach is a novice when arrives at FC Barcelona. Guardiola has no significant experience, but has won his league with BarçaB. I would've put him as second for Rijkaard, to do the job that Ten Cate did and Neeskens has'nt done. Despite the poor hability of FC Barcelona in giving a correct goodbye to most of their players and coaches, there's time for hope: Bojan, summer market, Messi... Rijkaard: you'll never smoke alone!
