    Frenkie de Jong

    Thanks. I found that quite incredible, if he actually said that it was like him pleading with Frenkie, saying “we hope you will reduce your salary but if you don’t, there is nothing we can do about it and so be it”.

    Did Laporta really say that? Source?

    Frenkie de Jong

    I don't know enough to know who leaked what to the press. But Laporta publicly commenting on it doesn't help put out the fire.

    Some shitty fans there. Frenkie hasn't done anything that warrants that BS.

    Frenkie de Jong

    If Frenkie has an agreement with Chelsea, that means he is willing to go if Chelsea presents an offer to us that we can accept. The issue with him has been he didn't want to leave, in the case of Manchester United, he flat out doesn't want to join them. So a personal agreement with Chelsea, if...

    Joan Laporta

    We paid down our debt by 125m with the lever money. I wish it was more but we did pay it down a bit. We need to control spending and broaden the revenue streams, given the handicapped TV money alone. NFT and Web3 stuff from Barca Studios we will have to see how much of a real impact it will be.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    I think most players of ours live in Castelldefels, except Ter Stegen who lives closer to the city or something.

    It is probably still true that we can register all players with that, after all Laporta himself said this past Sunday that we would. They still want to sell Frenkie or make him agree to a paycut to reduce the wage bill, I think.

    Frenkie de Jong

    People will stop talking about it once the season starts but people will remember this. I thought we would be able to register all players with the 4th lever and Pique taking a paycut?

    Frenkie de Jong

    The answer is simple, you don't. You don't do anything. If you have exhausted all your options, you simply let it be and respect the contract (if it was not illegal). Provided that everything is legal, you the club can't unliterally change your mind and say "if you don't agree to a reduction...

    Frenkie de Jong

    No, they won't go that far as to suing Frenkie. Like I said, they need to have concrete evidence that those 4 contracts were illegal and then present them to the 4 players and their entourage. Going to court doesn't help anybody. The whole thing could have been handled internally. They can...

    Frenkie de Jong

    If it can be proven illegal (like what Khaled said about that specific law in Catalonia), they can lower his and the other three players' wages by nullifying the previous contracts. If it cannot be proven illegal, then there is no ground whatsoever for the club to banish him to the stands. A...

    Frenkie de Jong

    One thing this club has not learned and needs to badly learn is to keep things under control INTERNALLY and stop leaking, either unintentionally or purposely information to the press. Looks amateur at best and sinister at worst.

    Frenkie de Jong

    And if he turns out to be much better, even great, he will probably refuse to renew and leave on free. Anyways, the club needs to stop this shit with him.

    Kudos to Frenkie. I hope he stays and proves all the doubters wrong.

    Who wants this guy? Did anybody link him to us?

    Joan Laporta

    Yeah, perhaps we will have a revival when he becomes the president. Don't have much hopes for Font either.

    Joan Laporta

    I was speaking from the holistic perspective, referring to charting and drawing plans to expand our revenue streams and exploring new forays to grow the club etc., kind of like what Bartomeu did with creating Barca Corporate. I haven't seen anything from Laporta yet. As to the transfers...

    Joan Laporta

    Bartomeu was unlucky because of COVID, but he even if were to take COVID out, we would still have had a loss in the 19/20 season as our profit margin was so thin previously (1m to 5m) and our cost was going through the roof. His past transfer spendings and the shenanigans he pulled with regard...

    Joan Laporta

    Yes but how the heck did he rake up that much of a loss 12 years ago? I think a loss of 100m magnitude was unheard of back then and still quite rare nowadays (if we take COVID out), right? Point being, given his past track record, don't bank on Laporta's business acumen and his ability to turn...
