Not the best translation, but interesting to read: https://www.archyde.com/jose-elias-the-great-savior-of-barca/ @Luftstalag IIRC you have to be a Socio to become a board member, that's why Jose Elias can't be a board member.

Covid is a good excuse as revenue forecasts were good. Bartomeu calculating on the edge was risky, but even that can be explained as he invested the money into the team. Barca is owned by its fans, therefore money should be invested into the team and big profit is not really the target. Buying...

Barca's club statutes demand that the executive board are "liable for their actions" while in charge and the bank guarantee is a way of protecting the club against being run irresponsibly. :bartomeu:

It always needs to be done by a new president and is normally just a formality. 15% of the budget is a lot though after the club's growth in recent years.

Eduard Romeu is Executive Director of Audax Renovables and Coporate Director of Audax Energia btw.

125M is a lot. Much more than when Bartomeu got elected. Add the bad financial situation of the club and the pandemic to it. Getting a guarantee for that sum is not as easy as people think.

best city in the world.

11-1-0 in the last 12 games. 34 points out of 36, and even that one draw was through a clumsy late penalty in a game that was under control. Very decent given the injuries in defense. On top of that he is playing youngsters. I couldn't be happier at the moment with the development of the team.

He hired that Reverter guy as CEO right after winning the election. There was probably a gentlemens agreement between Laporta and him to keep it secret as he still had a contract with MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group. You can try and figure everything out, but those guys probably all have alpha...

The strength, powerful shot and physicality in duels of Zlatan, the pace and awareness of clever movement on the pitch of Henry and the finishing of Raul. :p

Not necessarily. Could also be that Koeman wants Poch to think that. Could be Messi behind Griezmann-Dembele duo which would make more sense as Dembouz' pace could hurt them more in the center than on the wing as seen of lately.

Same here. Most important thing is hard pressing from all players though. Busi between the two CBs has always been a common thing when we had the ball and you don't really can say how this will look once PSG has the ball. It really is a hybrid line-up and could be 4 at the back or 3 at the...

Already confirmed.

Not surprising. Wrote about this way before elections that some older, club legend-players like Busi or Pique might take a wage-cut under Laporta's presidency. The more players take one, the better. I know all of them already gave up on money due to the pandemic.

He's Zlatan, Henry and Raul rolled into one... This kid is already a superstar at 20, and if he stays fit and stays professional he will be the successor to Messi & Ronaldo. Mbappe will be in his shadow. The only #9 better than Haaland at that young age I can remember was R9.

He is still young, but you still need to relax and follow the development of players who cost a lot closely. It happened already to other players that they looked like the next big thing but couldn't fulfill the promises after showing early signs of that quality. Having a great season is one...

Bulldozing his way through the box :D

I'd still make a direct swap for Pjanic.

He just cannot not score haha

His salary demands are crazy. He is good, but not that good. There is a reason Bayern stepped back from their offer and let him leave for free. He is and always was an important player in the squad, a regular starter whenever fit. Tells you a lot if Bayern lets such a player leave for free and...
