Well neither is the Messi camp a victim in his tax case.
Of course they are insisting they never broke the law as they are fighting the case.
If you dont think there has been a huge increase in media and political attacks on Barcelona in the past few years thats fine. I think there has.
Not that it is any excuse for breaking law but everyone should be treated the same if they do and thats clearly not the case.
Who said the Messi camp is a victim? I wouldn't vouch for Jorge Messi.
The attacks were always there. It increased because now they have legitimate bases to it, handed by rosell and co.
And one thing is to fight the injustices that happen in la liga. It's something else entirely to use that as an excuse for their wrong-doings, and this is what Bartomeu just did.
Press wouldn't be motivated to attack us if Barto and Rossell didn't break the law and then end up in a court where clear evidence is presented against them.
I love Barca as much as the next Cule. That means admonishing the board, Barto, and Rossell for putting the club in this situation.
I'm used to Madrid based attacks in the past and would normally ignore them but it was our own leaders who've given them this ammunition this time. Why defend them?
what punishment do you guys think is fair?
Loads of people have said that the tax authorities and Madrid media are out to get Messi and not treating him the same way as Madrid players such as Cassilas. Which I agree with, not that it means they are wrong for going after his tax but wrong for treating him differently.
Can find quotes on that if you want.
Barto is saying club have done not commited fraud and this is a campaign to smear the club.
Lets see what outcome of investigation is but is unusual for this sort of situation to be taken this far.
Pique is also having problems with his taxes, and he didn't get as much exposure as Messi did. Messi does get a lot more of bad press, because he is the best player ever. Then again, that's on his father, not on madrid media. they're just seizing the moment.
This has nothing to do with neymar's signing, though. Rosell resigning was a confession of guilt. If nothing was wrong, why did he do it? You think something like this will be let go by the spanish autorithies? Of course it won't. They'll go all the way. By the problem started with rosell. Not with madrid media. If there was nothing wrong the neymar signing, none of this would be happening. Simple as.
we are in the wrong but there is clearly a conspiracy against us, i just get the feeling that the whole world outside of barca can't wait for it to fail. even outside of spain.
The conspiracy started inside the club, then. rosell was an undercover rm agent, maybe?

We have to thank Rosell for giving them the ammunition to try to break us then. Of course we'll always get sh*t especially in Spain but Rossell and Barto should have known that it was going to come out with the extra attention on us.
