Not sure if I should believe F. Perez just like I don't believe Bartemou when he said Liverpool asked for 200m which Liverpool strongly denied it. But I'm quoting my myself since we agree on one thing here.

Some socis don't like the board but are wary of the other candidates. It's like Barto is the Devil they know.
Laporta is the only option who is a known and proven entity. With the other candidates it's pretty much a trip into the unknown.

Hey!
I got married. Football had to take a back step. The timing was perfect, I didn't have to suffer through Madrid winning back-to-back CLs too much.
I understand the € 200 million claim like this: "We made a € 150 million bid and they rejected it, they apparently waited for a 200 million / 500 million / 1 billion Euro bid." Then comes an English journalist and asks Liverpool: "Barcelona say you asked for 1 billion Euros, is that true?"
It's not a straight up lie, you know, the core of the message is still correct. Liverpool didn't budge for € 150 million (or whatever Barca were offering) but they would have for some fantasy sum like "€ 200 million" (meaning: a nonsenical sum), which Barca's representatives believe.
Perez claims that Neymar had a medical in 2013 but he actually didn't? What's the purpose? It would be a straight up lie and Perez doesn't gain anything from it. If Barca set up a lie like "€ 200 million" it, at least, serves the purpose to tell the own fanbase: "Look, we tried everything and they asked for the world."
I remember sitting here on Barcaforum all night on the day Neymar signed. Surely I'm not the only one who remembers the shenanigans surrounding the transfer where he had offers from both Madrid and Barca on the table then went back home to have dinner and a nap to think about it and make stupid social media posts and so on.

He gains many things like pride, saying he the one who rejected Neymar signings not the other way around, justifying to angry Madrididtas why he lost signing Neymar's to Barcelona. That's just off the top of my head.
While Bartomeu lied about a mega business transaction to justify his failure to find a plan B. He said Liverpool asked for an unreasonable amount of money when the fact is FSG released a public statement saying Coutinho wasn't for sale.
Congrats on your marrige dude

Folk left and didnt sign due to the queues?
That is fairly pathetic if they want change.
In some of the pictures before game the queues were not that long. Should have gone then.

True, that number is really disappointing.
