Joan Laporta and Hansi Flick are on the same page at Barcelona…for now at least

The more that comes to light around the sacking of Xavi, the more we confirm what we already knew.

Joan Laporta is all about that sense of control.

Xavi was never really his man to begin with. But over time, he gained the president’s trust. The Barca legend got off to races as manager, both with results on the field, and in projecting a confident vision for the future.

Laporta was clearly impressed, and opened up the pocket book. When money couldn’t be found, he made it appear with creative accounting.
