Look, my opinion is that when there's money, especially big money, controversy & corruption ensues....Regrettably, it's common in just about any sector of humanity...Football, even at a club like Barcelona, is not immune
You'd never catch me claiming Laporta is not without his flaws, he is a politician & lawyer after all...However, I do believe he had the club's best interests at heart along with Pep....It's true, especially, for those who are bandwagoners, we have a history of some stupidity that is hard to fathom even years later at Barcelona.
Perhaps it was naive on my part but the best part about Laporta & Pep's era was that we were seeing the club clean up it's organization, insulate itself from attacks, both internal & external, and focusing on the football & academy...Just as there are merits to Rosell's regime but his negatives are far more dangerous to the club's sporting future, IMO...Leo hit it on the head, if you insist on going down the road of being some corporation then you're not really embracing the ideals & philosophy of the club
And we know why Rosell was out of color ink, btw
