Joan Laporta

[Barcaman]

"Rescued"
Sold assets cents on a dollar, took out loans and made future boards pay for his immediate tenure.

Tenure he, willingly, volunteered and took upon himself to make success of.

He's inept when it comes to business and fosters nepotism within the club. Pathological liar and a glutton to top it off.

He's made great call with Flick though. That move saved him from being ousted as entire stadium was chanting "Laporta no" 18 months ago.

To conclude he hasn't made anything great regarding Barca as institution. Riding on other people's work with youngsters that came through and key players that previous board brought in.

Sounds like he is being charged for defrauding investors in some scheme he was running along with his buddies a few years ago.

I won't say "rescued", but Laporta is balancing this sinking ship well. I have to give him the credit.

Some percentages of assetts were sold, but the club didn't lose its identity and Camp Nou is 18 months away from full completion.

In conclusion I trust Laporta, because he doesn't bend and defends FC Barcelona's interests to the end. Remember exactly 365 days ago we were here discussing "is Olmo becoming free agent?".

It's the bare minimum that probably any president tasked to balance the ship would have done.

Club didn't lose its identity? Are you having a laugh?! It is steadily being sold, piece by piece, just like any other club. Stadium name and everything else. Fucking selling out to dictatorships in Africa FFS! No other club did that, but somehow everyone is blind and Fatporta gets a pass for that. He'll sell out to Saudis in the end and everyone will call him a genius. All this in an age were every other clown sells out to Saudi.

Yup any president would have done the same. Bartomeu, Gaspart, Nunez. Ohhhhhhh the days. How much wonderful success we had during those years. Who could forget when Gaspart came in his pants when Rivaldo scored that overhead kick to take us to the holy grail of .............. 4th place.

Laporta has managed to keep the most financially broke club on earth 100 percent member owned whilst every other club on planet earth spread their buttcheeks to the highest bidding foreign John and now he is being attacked because he sold the naming rights of the Camp Nou !!!

How dare he? I fully expected him to defecate nuggets of gold to pull us out of the financial quagmire Bartomeu left. Time to check Victor Font's toilet bowl to see if he can pass 24 carats. 🚽

Laporta is gonna win by a landslide.

Laporta is gonna win by a landslide.

As he should. The socios have proven that outside of Laporta, they’re not to be trusted with other choices

 

[DonAK]

He'll win, but whether it's by a landslide or a different margin depends on who the other candidate is.

It's still early. Someone unexpected might run.

 

[FCBarca]

Barring a catastrophe, it will indeed be continuity…by a landslide

 

[Loki]

For Laporta to lose the next election, the team needs to lose all competitions and a Limak tower crane needs to fall down on the Camp Nou.

 

[Barcaman]

Average soci is like 70 and still reads paper edition of Mundo Deportivo. Laporta is product of the 70s and doesn't have business acumen nor dedication, never mind innovative ideas to get back to the very top. We will continue to remain relevant but it's really a slow decline.
Have to enjoy these fantastic moments under Flick as Barca is heavily over-performing.


Club is never getting back to being very top with this structure and corrupt and lazy people in charge.

Edit: Can always get worse. Someone like Elena Fort could take over if they go full retard.

 

[FCBarca]

Dooomed

 

[Barcaman]

Dooomed

Nah. If you weren't an idiot you would have understood my post. I clearly surmised it's a slow decline and never getting back to very top with your poster balloon boy at the helm.

You have attention span of a gerbil and can't comprehend simple concepts.

Fool.

 

[FCBarca]

Everyone understands the bitterness

Getting back to the very top would mean to sell the club to some multi billionaire corp or Sheíkh. There is no other way around to compete with the PL anymore. You just can't, if you depend on the market and others get hundreds of millions to spend each window. No matter who leads the club, or what kind of innovative ideas one might have, if a club comes around the corner spending €500m in a window without a second thought.

And then there is all the debt to pay from Bartomeu, that set the club back financially by a decade. And you can't do this by stop spending and start saving either, because if you lose competitiveness, you lose income and then it's lights out anyways.
