Yes. He was Johan Cruyff's lawyer matter of fact.
Another thing on CVC deal and how shortsighted and moronic it is. 2 billion one-time investment for 10% of La Liga's commercial rights for 50 years.
A simple check on what 10% of current EPL commercial rights stand at for a single year - 400k. Multiply this 50 times you get 20 billion for 50 years.
No wonder Florentino wants no business with Tebas.

Actually No, and we have seen that in Gavi case, we registered him after using all our cap space in summer on other players, and court went to our side because of both the player and business interest.
PS: Laporta's law firm is still active and he is still a practicing lawyer.
Tebas is a lawyer too btw, although no idea abput his career in that regard.

New manager had two games, lost against Madrid and won in Copa against Eldense. Far too soon to say "the results are same".

My posting history shows frequent absences regardless of results.
Top tier functional literacy i see. Albeit it does not matter. What matters is perception of Barca has become a synonym for corruption and the idea that FC Barca is anti-establishment is in the toilet.
That will be the legacy of Laporta. That and experiencing prison food.
Nah. For everyone watching football it is clear how much more favored club from the capital is. It was like this ever since I can remember and there are stats to back it up. Fouls awarded for and against, penalties for and against. Cards, suspensions, you name it.
Look it up.

For someone supposedly knowing stuff on the financial side of things, you make many factually INCORRECT claims.
Let's refresh your memory with the real sequence of events:
1) Gavi wasn't registered because the FFP rules set by LL were challenged by the court (that's so silly to even believe...) The commercial court, back then, issued a PRECAUTIONARY measure (again) to allow Gavi's registration on a very similar rationale ('irreversible damage') to the rationale of the precautionary measure for Olmo now. They claimed, back then, that "there is a principle of legitimacy in FC Barcelona's claim and that the non-registration of the player before the window closes would imply his freedom and, therefore, a very serious and irreparable damage to FC Barcelona," Source
They did not go into the essence of the matter as to whether FFP limit was exceeded, let alone question the LaLiga FFP rules in the first place.
As the supreme sports council did not do so now with Olmo's case.
2) 2 months later (March 2023) the same court lifted the precautionary measure, because the idiots in Laporta's legal team filed the original claim after the deadline. Source.
3) Gavi was eventually registered on his renewed contract as a 1st team player in June 2023, when LL approved Barca's 'viability plan' for 23/24 which presented projection of club finances based on saving of wages (like Busquets'). The viability plan was backed with a 6m bank guarantee. Only on this basis Gavi's contract went through. Source. and Source.
Later, Araujo was only registered, for example, when Kessie and Dembele left. Source
Moral of the story: LaLiga's FFP rules were upheld, and LL won the battle.
Precautionary measures can get you thus far, let alone questioning LL's authority on FFP rules.
PS: The idiots back then celebrated Gavi's registration on a precautionary measure, as they do now with Olmo's. Without even understanding the nature of the measure. It's very likely that when the Spanish SSC examines the essence of the matter to decide in favor of LL. Don't be surprised...
Our only legal hope is that the sales of VIP seats somehow went through before the 31st of Dec. deadline

Even if that happens, it's not as much of a problem as he will be registered in the summer. On the other hand, if SSC decides against La Liga, their decision to temporary register the players until the final decision saved La Liga from a huge lawsuit from Barcelona.
Either way, Laporta has two perfectly legal and viable options. Delay the case until it becomes far less damaging regardless of the verdict, or win. Obviously winning is much better as it puts La Liga and Tebas to shame due to acting in bad faith in regards to Barcelona, and more importantly to the players in question.
