The relevant parts of the press conference:
Were you close to resigning this week?
No, but I think my words were very, very clear. I said that it is not normal in the last five games, to lose four games. When happened this type of situation, for sure you have to refresh, no? To think, to start to make an evaluation, why it happened and to try to find the solution, to try to find an answer. I think this is normal also because I am not used to losing in this way, when I was player, when I was coach. For sure, this type of situation hurts me a lot and I hope also my players and also the club.

Have you considered leaving?
I think that in this moment, the best solution for us is to continue to work very hard and I think the work is the only way to try to give satisfaction to our fans, to give satisfaction to the club. It is important to be focused, I repeat, on the present. It is many, many times that I repeat always the same things: we need time, we need patience. The club is the first to know which is our real situation and the club confirmed to me they know which is the reality. The club is very happy about my work, about what we are doing with my staff. The change that we brought in these four months in this club, in the training ground, in this environment. I’m sure the club is appreciating a lot what we are doing, but the problem is I am a perfectionist and I know very well, the improvement that my work will bring in the future. At the same time I’m a person that I want to reach a result quickly and when I lose, I don’t stay so happy. I think maybe to be in this way brought me the success in my career before as a player and as a coach.

Did you speak to Daniel Levy?
Yeah, I spoke with Daniel. I repeat, sometimes I don’t like that I see that someone tried to create a problem between me and the club because this is not true, believe me. This is not the truth. Our chairman Daniel Levy he knows very well that I’m here to help the club in every moment and will help the club until the end. This is the reality and he knows this and he knows that we are working very hard and he has great consideration about my job, about the job of my staff and we speak. I repeat, I want to help the club in every aspect, also with my vision, with my idea and my ideas about football, for improvement and I repeat, no problem. He shows me great consideration every day and for this reason I am committed for this club much more because I know that the consideration of the club for myself is very high.

Firpo's quotes on returning to Spain:
I would love to spend a lot of time here, but, well, in the end, the house always wins and I would like to return to Betis, obviously.

I didn’t even say no to Barça the first time and it would be very difficult to say no the second time, obviously.

Official: Everton get a new Director of Football


Thelwell comes from MLS club New York Red Bulls.
 




Xavi Campos is a reporter for Catalunya Radio, and it's very likely that he reported this on a radio program.
 


The relevant quote:
My and our focus is on the upcoming games and those kind of issues regarding goalkeepers and other players are topics for the summer and in the time after the season has been finished.

I wonder if the club have anyone making decisions for the summer already, there are a lot of players out there who are currently free to negotiate with other clubs and we seem to want to wait until the next manager is in before anything happens.

I guess some players and United will wait to see if they get into the Champions League.
 
Replacing Bielsa with Marsch :lol:

Out of the fire into the frying pan. I love it.

Sounds like the butthurt retort of someone who was turned down by said player already.

Especially when they're sitting in 12th place, behind Brighton after blowing 100M
 
Damien said:
Can't really see Barcelona affording him, especially with them going after Christensen.

I thought he was destined for Real Madrid but Alaba and Militao have worked well so they might look elsewhere for a player to be a backup.

Here it is said that if Barcelona is not able to sign Haaland, with that money will try Isak and Kounde.
 
Damien said:
That makes sense, though guessing there will be some departures.

Pique, Araujo, Garcia, Lenglet, Umtiti, Mingueza plus Christensen and Kounde is overkill.

Mingueza plays as a right back more often, so I wouldn't necessarily put him in that group. When Umtiti leaves, and if Araujo doesn't renew his contract, then I can see a place for Christensen in the team.
 
This comes during a period when Barcelona are doing well and Xavi is giving Dembélé more first-team minutes even if he isn't a starter.

Could he be an option for us?

We've yet to be linked to him that strongly, but that goes for the rest of the European teams. We'll see what happens in the summer as that's when his agent's going to really connect with the bigger teams.
