SB odds on to lose job

Ex-Barcelona greats have come out in disgust of the current team and boss SB as the team continue to embarass themselves in the biggest one on one competition in history - Batalla De Titanes: Super League.

With bitter rivals JM and Real Madrid now running away with the competition in style, many are now tipping Barcelona to part ways with their long time man in charge, perhaps even before the scheduled end of the Super league season.

"It appears obvious should the league season become out of reach in the coming rounds Barcelona may simply concede the tournament and move the boss out straight away." Club insiders have revealed.

"And rumours inside SB's camp reveal he is also considering a fresh start at former club Juventus or European Champions Bayern Munich after he claimed he finds his Barcelona team terrible this season and feels there is nothing he can do about it."

A very stressed SB knows his time might be up



Whether he can turn the tables on what has been a shambolic start we will wait to see, however there is still 23 rounds remaining which is more than enough time to turn things around and maybe save his job this campaign. He does however remain odds on to surrender his post within the next 10 rounds.

Super League Update: A tale of two cities

One of the most eagerly contested competitions in history is proving all too much for the favourite after just 15 rounds of play.

SB and his Barcelona team have struggled their way through the opening round of fixtures in Super League, managing only an horrific 3 wins from 15 starts.

Despite being clear favorites when competition started in early 2014, it is now beginning to look obvious SB and his Barcelona have not handled the step up in class or playing systems to that of his direct rival JM and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid on the contrary, have taken 10 wins and 2 draws from 15 fixtures, displaying confident attack and defence against the best of the best in world football.

It is a far cry from the Barcelona and Real Madrid teams we saw at the end of last season.
As we now know, Barcelona went on to have a stellar season - winning both the league and cup double. Madrid coming up with doughnuts again. But now, it seems the tables have completely turned.

Football analysts have noted Barcelona's complete lack of dynamics. The team looks flat, the players lack composure in front of goal and defence has been a huge problem - leaking goals all season long.

The telling blow was the Classico. Barcelona could somehow still salvage some shred of dignity should they have managed a decent result against Real Madrid. A chance to perhaps start their claw back with more than half the season still remaining. However, this was certainly not the case. Perhaps it will go down as the darkest day for SB and Barcelona - conceding 5 goals to nil on a night they will choose to forget forever.

Completely outclassed and outplayed - it was a complete shock considering only 1 month earlier these two teams had fought out a penalty shootout to decide the Copa Del Rey.

However as Sony systems have now upgraded, it seems SB has not coped well. Whether he can muster a challenge in this league season we can only hope. Many fear he has already thrown in the towel - after a string of performances former players are calling shameful and not worthy of the wearing of a Barcelona shirt.
