Its to run into brickwall for the club to be exact. The thing is, nowadays, loyalty is only worth as much as the next contract. Wouldn't expect modern players to replicate that. Those players long extinct except perhaps for a few far in between.Pep is bornt, bred & brought up in Barca style, so perhaps its match made in heaven for them. Furthermore, he's in charged of Barca reserves before stepping up, so any doubts on his principle & idea may contradict with Barca philosophy is instantly cleared.

To each his own.
For me, i am a firm believer that Mr Popular lasts longest in a time of crisis, and as such will be given much more time to set things right. And man management is for me what seperates a great manager from a bunch of good ones, and not only when it comes to football.
And man management is not something you can exactly turn on and off. You cannot be good at man managing your staff in department A but be poor at man managing say department B. Rafa is a poor people person, of that there should be little doubt.

Not exactly what i have said
Or perhaps i do not quite get what you are trying to say. I mentioned that it is better to have others have a 'neutral' disposition (i.e people being tolerant or indifferent towards Rafa, which has nothing to do with Rafa's tolerance etc) as opposed to people having a 'negative' or outright disposition towards you especially in times of crisis.
But mr. popular mostly attracts fake friends which turn around the instant something bad happened. So its back to square For me, i am a firm believer that Mr Popular lasts longest in a time of crisis, and as such will be given much more time to set things right. And man management is for me what seperates a great manager from a bunch of good ones, and not only when it comes to football.

Evans was & i believe still a man manager who put his hand around the players, look what happened to him. Though his team was attractive to watch though.
Perhaps there should be balance on both the management ways. But seriously there aint someone who's good in both world.
Hiddink, before he save Chelsea season he's a flop in big clubs. Read RM & Valencia.
