At Barcelona there is always talk of the entorno which surrounds the club.
In short it refers to the toxic environment that envelops the club in the bad times and the 1 - 0 defeat to Granada which followed the midweek Champions League exit has put the club back in the eye of the storm.
We were joined by ESPN and Irish Examiner soccer writer Dermot Corrigan to talk about the problems at the Nou Camp and the precarious future of manager Tata Martino.
"It shows how bad the planning is over the last couple of years. They've allowed the team to stagnate and they haven't freshened up parts of the team and that came back to haunt them," said Corrigan.
In today's Spanish sports papers, there are claims that Martino will not be in charge next season and that the club is targeting Jurgen Klopp or Germany manager Jogi Low as a replacement.
Corrigan believes the former Newell's Old Boys boss is out of his depth.
"I think Martino will definitely go. I don't think he wants to stay. He looks very annoyed with the entorno at Barcelona and he's not got any backing within that. They talk in public how they're all behind him and I think they do kind of like him but he's just a little bit out of his depth," said Corrigan who explained that Martino's contract has a clause which can be triggered by the club and manager.
While Lionel Messi is not agitating for Martino to be sacked, Corrigan believes the Argentine is unhappy with his compatriot's use of him.
Corrigan contrasted Martino's attempts to give Messi a more peripheral role to the way Guardiola obsessively built the team around the four-time Ballon D'Or winner.
