Josep Maria Bartomeu

[Tomchin]

Nothing to wonder, he'd get pummeled in a debate nevermind having to face all the embarrassing charges & disrepute he's brought to the club

True, if there's a debate between Laporta and Bartomeu, I think Laporta would win easily. Shame that that debate won't happen.

 

[Darko]

Would love to see him humiliated in a debate, shame.

 

[Barcaman]

I guess he'd lose a debate. He looks like a awkward guy physically and surely doesn't have the political skills and tricks of Laporta that would help him in debate.
Debates are often not about facts and arguments anyway but who looks better or who is more eloquent.

 

[DonAK]

The problem with debates is that he would have to answer to whatever went wrong in his term and he simply don't want to get embarrased when he can't answer it. That's the reason he's hiding.

 

[Barcaman]

He's not hiding because he's not going to debate. He's stil appearing everywhere.
He knows Laporta has the edge in media and is smart not to play a game he's likely to lose.

 

[Icarium]

You generally see candidates making promises. Barto goes one up and makes a signing too. It happened so fast, still not a confirmed deal but it is looking more likely now. He failed miserably to sign pogba though but he moved very quick to cover it.

Every candidate promises players.

It was quite funny this morning, during the presidential debate Benedito first announced that names of players are not that important, it's the quality of the program that matters. Then some hours afterwards Benedito confirms on his Twitter that they're trying to sign Verratti

YAY!

Game. Set. Match.

Six more years of Bartomeu (and Qatar) are now pretty much guaranteed.

(In my eyes) a sad day for FC Barcelona.

 

[barcanuck]

God if Barto wins I'll cry. Clause in the Arda signing is that if Laporta wins he can sell him back to Atletico for a 4 million dollar loss. Classic burn money move.

 

[BarcaGirl]

Looks like Barto’s going to win the elections after all.
RIP Fc Barcelona ...dark days are coming!

Of course bartomeu is hiding. And grupo godó is working for him, laporta doesn't have any edge on that. He won't go to debates because he doesn't want to answer questions about the ban, la masia, Neymar, and now Turan too.

Btw, is Sport also related to Grupo Godo somehow? I know EMD and RAC1 both belong to Grupo Godo (which is clearly visible in their articles ), but Sport seem pretty pro-Bartomeu too, so I'm wondering if they're related to Grupo Godo too?

SPORT have some journalists inclined towards Barto and others towards other candidates.

However, MD, RAC1... those guys are full on #TeamBartomeu

Haven't really been following elections too closely, what's with all the hate against Bartomeu? Has he actually done anything to indicate that he is Rosell 2.0?
