Then why all this 'Camp Nou return' stuff to happen so early?
Because the fatty wants to claim for himself something that hasn't happened yet

Camp nou is not ready

Truth
How can you close your eyes to how similar the three are - all products of corporate management rather than football backgrounds, Font may not yet have been mired in business fraud & misconduct like the other corporate predecessors although he has been without any football background or longstanding link to the club - an outside corporate figure that had a phenomenally poor showing in the last election
Now, his only strategy has been a page out of Rosell & Bartomeu’s own corporate playbook of confrontational style & constant public media attacks on the club’s leadership rather than identify where it could be better. It’s a corporate cynic’s POV to destabilize without any real viable alternative that could even be implemented - it’s hot air, a plastic candidate who salivates over running a large cap business
His background is in telecommunications, zero football or Barça link much less football pedigree and that lack of knowledge much experience for a corporate strategist would surely spell the end of a member owned club
He’s an attack dog with great PP presentations and perhaps would be a great media strategist for the club but running a football club?
Unless you are suicidal who would want a repeat of corporatists like Sandy & Nobita to decimate the club for good
The beauty however is that he is so poor at presenting himself the candidacy will unravel from his own doing…not unlike Sandro & Barto…Corporatists to save the club, it’s a great joke that somehow still plays after we’ve been killed by it not once but twice
History has a way of repeating itself because people are stupid

With Espai Barca our gross debt stands somewhere in the range of 2.6b. My search in the 2023/24 annual report (page 222) shows the club has net debt of 1.45b, growing by 50 million each year. Most of the debt payment is restructured up to year 2050.
Renovated/open Camp Nou is key in reducing it. At completed stage it will bring 250-400m revenue annually. Depending on how many of the projects in Espai Barca are completed, including the renovation of Palau Blaugrana and a hotel complex.

.@xavierbosch: "Laporta wanted a triumphant media day, but the only thing people saw was the club hitting socios with abusive prices. Charging 320 euros for two bad seats is a slap in the face

Cheap lies to get votes of imbeciles who really think Font has a chance to get Messi back. That's what you expect from him. And that's not even mentioning, that Messi's time at Europe's highest level is definitely over.🚨 Víctor Font: "The first thing I'll do if I win Barça's presidential elections is to call Messi."
He should try focusing on the present and future instead on trying to relive glory days with former “old” chess pieces. Should RM call CR7 too?

Maybe he just wants to share some .pptx files with him.

The stadium and financial debt (inherited by Barto) doesn't influence the popularity of Laporta before elections. His lying ass already completed more than half of the stadium.
Only if the team collapses in performance in the spring. Haters should concentrate on this. Pray for Ls.

It has been approved. What is it that it's not ready for?
Fans and players want the return as early as possible as long as it's safe. Profit will be better than Montjuic and soon even more with 60k.
What should we wait for?

The stadium is not built yet.
Look at the pictures, there are stands still in the construction phase.
How do you feel about the image of your club playing in a stadium that looks half-built?
Does it boost our image, or does it ridicules us even more?
Profit might be greater, but that's not the main reason in Laporta's mind for the hasty return.
It's mainly elections
PS: It is also obvious that the Espai project is something ALL presidents would have done. It was a dire need that needed to act upon, and there is nothing brave or smart in there that Laporta claims credit for

You mean like Real Madrid?
What about Liverpool playing at Anfield while they were building a new stand?
Unless you're building a completely new stadium either at different land or literally tearing apart your current one at the same place and building a new one there, every team will gradually open their stadium and play there.
You're not making any sense.
If anything our return is delayed according to their own estimates

The things some posters, type at times just to suit their point of view in always insane to me lol.
A whole host of clubs have done the same thing, it's one of the benefits of redeveloping your current stadium, city playing in a stadium right now that's under construction and can be see in every broadcast cast.
No credit for the stadium, because the two presidents before him while in a better environment didn't do it and we are sure as hell font wouldn't have if he won, because he's a man that won't take a risk even if it was a 90% he would succeed.
