The problem is the amount of lies already told, being prosecuted and facing jail time, and making the club be indicted for the 1sr time ever... I don't understand how anyone can be ok with that.

Being prosecuted and facing jail time does not mean you are guilty though of a crime though.

If his name was Laporta he would be proclaimed martyr by his supporters. Some of those accusations look shady to say the least.

I still don't understand why that matters so much when we're talking about Bartomeu, or why any of this should make all that less serious. There are better candidates, anyway.

Laporta has atleast announced a team for other sporting sections like Basketball, Futsal etc.

While Bartomeu is misusing the system and attributing a signing to himself and how great he is because he backs the coach. Who can forget his 'Everyone who argues against this signing to happen right now don't trust the coach'.

Damn the other candidates for speaking up against someone who is making signings through the club despite of him having resgined as the President of the club. If they speak up against it then they "Don't trust the coach".

I guess Bartomeu's populist crap is good and perfect as well, while Laporta and others are bad.

So you can attack Barto and back Laporta but anyone who disagrees with your opinion is trying to 'justify' wrong doings by Barto?

Face the fact people have different opinions and will debate.

If the other candidates had sense they would be just agreeing with the Arda move and trying to take it away from being seen as Bartos but completed by interim board on behalf of Lucho.

Just seems they are so desperate to attack they are not really coming across well or with their own ideas.

It's one thing disagreeing with someone's opinion and another thing to ignore it and make up fallacious BS in reply.

Like you do every time someone challenges your views on Barto.

I don't think I've made up anything. Bartomeu said negotiations started before he resigned, Arda's agent and Atletico's President said they started 20 days ago which is after he resigned.

Bartomeu is attributing the signing to himself, isn't he? Every candidate is allowed to promise sunshine and rainbows, but no one got the authority to actually complete signings while not being in power, but isn't that exactly what Bartomeu has done? Is that not accurate?

That's the first time it happened in the club's history of managing boards, isn't that true too?

Barcelona are charged for tax fraud for the first time in its history. A lie?

Where's the BS?

I'm not seeing candidates attacking the signing, just that the interim board had no legitimacy to do it, or to sell Deulo and loan Montoya, and they're right. There was a false news from as claiming Benedito would return Arda to atletico if elected, and he already denied that today on his twitter.

If you line up whatever Laporta did wrong in his tenture then I'd say he did so(and he did plenty of things wrong which is why he narrowly escaped a censure motion). I won't try to justify anything.

Besides, it's not like you didn't back Rosell during his shit too. It's there for everyone to see, and you've been called out for it all the time, twisting opinions and logic to suit your argument.

What does the statute say about interim board making signings etc?

You dont have a clue what you are speaking about.

If the signing hadn't served any other purposes besided getting a player Lucho requested, the interim board wouldn't have announced it a few days before the elections.
It's bullshit to assume that another club would've signed him if we hadn't made the deal officiall within days because he confirmed that he 1.) didn't have any other concrete offers and 2.) he only wanted to play for Barca
Why would the club risk money by signing a player who could be sold back to Atletico in a few days and by printing hundreds of kits and sell them in the Megatore.

The interim board should have done the only legit thing: let the new President talk with Lucho and sign the player.

The candidates have every right to complain about the signing since the interim board is NOT ALLOWED to do it but everything's fine I guess. Legal issues become much less important when Laporta, the man who dated a porn star, sits on the other side of the table.

(Even if it would be allowed to sign a player during an election process, the timing of the announcement would be beyond odd)
