1776031431321.png
  • Born 29th June 1962
  • First term (2003-10)
  • Second term (2021-26)
  • Third term (2026-present)
  • 19 trophies won
One of the most infamous and divisive figures in the history of this institution, you might love him or you might hate him, but there is no doubt that he was an important figure in the history of this great club.
 
Some people think everything started with them. That goes for Laporta and his fans.

He inherited core of the team and hasn't "built" anything. He often credits himself and Deco for creating this team but people have to be stupid not to be able to count and see when players were signed or if they came from modernised La Masia.

Also, much much worse division and more controversy was during Nunez presidency. Laporta tenure is child's play compared to those times.
 
🥱
3 titles in 4 seasons

Signings that played major roles

Christensen
Kounde
Garcia Joan
Tek
Lewa
Raphinha
Cancelo
Rashford
Olmo
Torres

I'm probably forgetting a few.

Masia players promoted under him.
Miraculously when he's a president masia players always form the core of a winning team.

Fermin
Yamal
Bernal
Casado
Gavi ( I think)

A few others who got time under flick.
Once maybe lucky. Two times.

What did the previous guys do with our best masia player before these bunch? Run him off to Bayern.

Players he came in and saw.
Araujo
Mats
Balde ( I think)
Pedri
Frenkie.
Dembele* (golden ball winner for PSG)

Inherited two balon dor winners and likes of Pedri/Yamal/Frenkie/Cubarsi etc with a thriving La Masia.

Could possibly be three Balondor winners.

Add to that the three golden boy winners already at club.

For all the debt inherited also a ton that helps the club going forward on playing side and BLM now valued at 800m.

Shame they wasted a lot of money on Lewa/Gundogan and huge contracts to likes of MATS and Fati but some good signings to add to what was there also.

One of best moves was to punt Xavi that so many were against when so many claimed Xavi was right and drooled over how much a better squad Real had.

Inherting 2 future balondor winners and three Golden boys.. possibly soon to be 4 is unreal basis to build from when cash tight.

Technically not president for this league title win either...
 
OMG dembele the golden ball winner for PSG, NICE he was killing it for us.

Or did he only start looking like a half decent player once laporta came in & under a laporta manager?.

That should be another laporta W, but it's a dunce argument to make that he inherited two golden ball winners so I won't even bother.
 
Indeed inherited two future balon dor winners and three golden boys.

Could soon enough be three balon dor winners and four golden boys.

All helps. Must have inherited close to a billion worth of talent there and to emerge.

A dunce is the one who claims Laporta should have kept Xavi for years and not punted likes of Gundogan.

A dunce is the one who claims Kessie/Casado better than likes of Frenkie and Gavi more important than Pedri and better in a two etc.
 
Listen guys dembele was an excellent signing for us money well spent,he won a golden ball.

Jamdav, the king of writing dunce checks.
 
Indeed Dembele balondor winner.

Inherited.

Jamrock the dunce who thinks Gavi and Casado are more important than Frenkie and Pedri and claimed Barca simply had to keep Xavi and Gundogan.

What was the line again? 'Pedri can be replaced by La Masia in a few years'.

Sensational.
 
Laporta: “I expect that we will file a NEW complaint, because what happened to us yesterday once again is unacceptable. There are decisions that have greatly harmed Barcelona's interests, and this is something that cannot be tolerated. It's a DISGRACE

What a fucking clown! 🤦‍♂️
 
This just makes us look like losers. Ref was a bastard last night not giving them cards. He missed a pen on Olmo but he also missed Joan handling the ball outside the box which would've been another red card.

I think that one caught the line.

That was completely irrelevant as it happened in the end of the game. Laporta had to react otherwise it would look like we are OK with the robbery.

What robbery are you talking about? Fatman just spouts nonsense and makes this club look like poor losers.
 
We were screwed over both legs. Laporta is right to kick up a fuss even-though I believe it's all for domestic consumption while he is buddies privately with Ceferin and his Qatari sponsor.
 
Fake news..

Also not the current President... apologies.

Best thing he did was sack Xavi and punt likes of Gundogan.

When so many of the usuals wanted neither to happen.
