I know you didnt mention Laporta I did. So I will ask you....does Laporta deserve credit for the teams success under him?
Or do you give no President blame/credit for success on the field?
Yes, every president deserves some credit for what happens during his tenure. But not as much as the actual sporting section. And definitely not to the extent that it neutralizes the incredible amount of shit that happened during that same tenure in terms of administration. This election will make Barcelona a laughing stock around the world. All people will see is that the club elected the same guys who are responsible for all of the scandals that have happened during the past few years, including the transfer ban, the Neymar case, etc. These are not minor issues, these are news headlines.
It's funny how people on internet and thousands miles away from Barca (me included) like to hold moral and intelectual high ground and talk down to socis from Barcelona. People who supported the club through thick and thin and before most of us were born.
Sorry, but the fact that some of them live in Barcelona and that some of them supported the club in tougher times does not by any means suggest that they are better informed or more capable to make the right decision at this point. I would bet anything that most of us here (on the forum, for example) follow Barca more closely than many socis do nowadays.
