Javi Gracia - Valencia Cf

Gino ruining clubs he doesn't even own now

Elite owner

 

Valencia spending **** all? I'm shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU!

 

But I thought they were definitely getting capoue? All the local rags said so!

 

On a serious note Valencia can do one! Trying to unsettle our players and snag em on the cheap. I hope they sink to the bottom of la Liga and beyond.

 

While I feel for Gracia if promises have been broken, he's made a decent start there so why can't he just continue to work with what he has? It's still a big job for someone of his CV and he has been shown to be nothing more than a journeyman manager in his short career to date, with an average of a different job every season.

 

***fixed***

 

No.

 

Ultimately, what constitutes a good season for Valencia, mid table? Anything more than a relegation struggle will be a bonus really, he's almost in a can't lose situation (unless it really does go **** up, which I don't think it will for him, he's got experience of similar situations). I would feel sorry for him, I mean nobody should have to work with an owner like Lim, but at the end of the day, this news has come to the surprise of absolutely nobody, Javi was just mug enough to believe the lies. He also tried to unsettle Capoue when seemingly nobody else was that interested in him, which has also slightly tarnished his image in my eyes

 

But surely being in the Segunda would be a disaster to them? Surely it's not like here where relegation to the Championship, while almost always a blow, is very possible to bounce back stronger from?

 

In what way is it so different? Granada did exactly that literally two seasons ago.

 

What kind of state were they in when the Pozzos sold up?

 

I don't understand what it is that you are saying makes the segunda so different from the Championship that it isn't very possible to bounce back stronger from.

 

Looks like he's getting the boot.

Valencia set to sack boss Gracia and have chosen his successor - Football Espana (football-espana.net)

 

Surely Football Espana has a conflict of interest in reporting that story if they're also going to be taking over from Gracia?

 

Should have held on I would have taken Javi back in a heartbeat doubt he would want to come mind you.

 

No Champo experience.

 

Wouldn't want him back, another one who didn’t have the nuts to control captain big gob

 

What do Valencia expect? All their best players have been sold and Gracia (despite requesting specific transfer targets) has been given no money to sign any players. "Eight first-team squad players left the Mestalla this summer with no additions."

Valencia will move out of the relegation zone if they draw with or defeat Cadiz tonight, but Eibar will have two games in hand..

 

This may cost us as IIRC we don't have to keep paying up the rest of his contract if he gets/and stays in another job

 

In a somewhat funny turn of events, Gracia wanted Capoue to replace Coquelin and Parejo who were both sold to Villarreal. Then Villarreal bought Capoue as well.

 

I have no inside knowledge, but unlikely because he signed a two year contract with Valencia. I would suspect that his new contract negated his pay-off from Watford and that Valencia will need to pay compensation for the rest of his contract with them if he is dismissed.

 

This is why we'll always be able to get coaches like Gracia. He can only choose between basket case clubs.

 

Has Richard Hughes moved to Villarreal?

 

From BBC gossip, ref Jose Mourinho

Valencia have also been linked with the Portuguese manager, with club owner Peter Lim prepared to dismiss current boss Javi Gracia to bring in the 58-year-old.

 

Javier Gracia has been dismissed by Valencia after their 2-3 home defeat to Barcelona. All the best players were sold last summer and not replaced. He tried to resign a few months after he had been appointed because he was so frustrated with the situation.

Javier Gracia has taken the club to 6 points above the relegation places in La Liga with 4 games remaining to play. I do not know what Peter Lim realistically expected in the circumstances, but I do not think that Javier Gracia has been treated very well and I hope that he is entitled to a big pay-off (because he was appointed on a two year contract).

 

Ready to rejoin Watford 11 games into next season.

 

Bring him back in the summer ! Not now…..
