Big truth in that statement.
All the shit Laporta has done since 2021 is somehow forgiven because he still runs on the credit left on the tank from his 1st stint.

Returning to the stadium mid-construction was always the plan. It's not something that Laporta conjured in the past months to get some sort of W. I don't even see his biggest stans praising him, this return isn't something out of thin air, it's a much anticipated step. It could've happened months ago or 6 months from now. It was always happening before the elections and it was always going to be with limited capacity.

I have no problems with returning to the Camp Nou now rather than a year ago. I know construction takes time and some delays are expected. I would be totally fine if they would say from the start (when the works started) our goal is to return (in limited capacity) for the start of this season. And when they would see that's not possible then they could delay until end of 2025/start of 2026 where we are now. It wouldn't be great but I could accept that.
But what I expect from the president is to be transparent and honest. Don't set unrealistic deadlines or sell false hope to the fans you are responsible to. And even worse don't do that again and again. Delaying the return 5 or 6 times (I've lost the count but basically every time Laporta or Elena Fort opened their mouth - when they were not eating, lol - they've moved the date a few weeks or months in future; not to even mention that campaign with loudspeakers to officially announce the return that never happened
) in one year it's laughable and destroys your credibility. How can you still believe a person who consistently lies to you? And yes, it's a lie if you say we'll return then and then and when that date comes you can see we are not even close.

He's fat and he lies lol. It always come down to that never really have anything.
But yes it was a bad look for him to say we would return X date, without first having every I dotted and every T crossed.
That as always been a valid criticism as even his fans had said.
But redeveloping the stadium and everything that's goes with that. Outweighs any "lie" he told about the return date.
That's what the haters never get, they nit pick about little things, while refusing to give him credit for the big things.

Criticizing Laporta for returning into a half-built Camp Nou, instead of playing 4-5 years in the Montjuic must be in the top3 of the most stupidest posts I've ever read here.
The fans love it, the players love it, it's better for the finances, it gives us the home advantage back. Conclusion: It must be bad to return (from a Madrid point of view).

Exactly...
He always seeks create a fake powerful image (for himself above all) based on tons of lies.
About everything, be it the stadium, the finances, the 1:1, the transfers, the coaches.
This man's second nature is lying.
Yet, his sheepish worshipers here would never admit he is a liar, yet they crucify Font for wanting to buy Eric earlier...

@jamrock @Birdy Laporta W?
🚨 Joan Laporta: "Messi returning to Barça? It's an expectation that is not realistic. As of now, he has a contract with Inter Miami."
"He is also 38 years old and the club is building a project for the present and future. It's complicated, and if you live in the past you hardly move forward."
