Gerard Piqué

[jamrock]

He's getting money from the Saudi's if you aren't your dumb these days

 

[Birdy]

He got indicted so it's confirmed. Proper presidential material.

On a serious note: he would do better than Laporta.
Has enough money so wouldn't milk the club through agents and shady deals like the fat fuck. Also has many connections and now already some experience in business.

Last but not least: Divorced and probably red pilled.

Bring it on.

If he ever becomes, Barto's term would look like a child's play compared to what he will do

Laporta has some real education Pique has only his stunts. He is a clown and he will always be.
Clowns are very successful in a heterogeneous globalised market full of illiterate fat cats and serfs. Europe is on borrowed time.
Probably Xavi was the best as president material, Puyol or if you want a more soft one, Iniesta.
Barca has a decent president.

I love Iniesta but he has no personality that's needed for this job. I think he'll play few more years and after retirement he'll mostly stay out of public life enjoying time with family and his bodega.

Puyol maybe but don't see him as someone willing to deal with all the politics either.

Out of former golden generation players I think Busi would be the best candidate for a future president. Calm, inteligent, hard working. Don't know if he has changed his mind but IIRC he said in some interview years ago that he's not really interested in coaching after his playing career is over. But he might get into more administrative role to stay in football.

Unlike Geri Busi has no red flags (at least that we know of) in his past that could come and bite him. Obviously has lack of experience in business but think he would be smart enough to recruit qualified people and let them do their job. Which for me is a big quality of a good leader. You don't have to meddle into every decision if you trust the people you've hired. Unlike Laporta who loves to be in the spot light (even if for the wrong reasons) I think Busi would be a more hand off president. Which wouldn't be bad in a club that has history of internal power struggle and big egos at the top causing self destruction.

And then obviously we have Pep whenever he'll end up his coaching career (which I think could be sooner than most expect) but he's a control freak as a manager and doubt he would be anything else in his new role. Would probably be on the training ground every day telling the coach what he did wrong in previous game, lol. But maybe in 15-20 years he could become a grey eminence to whoever our president will be at that time like Cruyff was to Laporta in his first stint. Damn, I miss that man. Would be interesting to see how different Laporta's decisions over last three years would be if he would listen to Johan rather than his brother-in-law.

Agree but I don't think someone can fuck with Iniesta. The guy is the most respected football player in Spain and a true good guy. He is also very smart and calculated and has no amigo mentality. As for Busi I can agree but he left the club way too late to trust his honesty. So for me the 3 are more good, Xavi is egocentric and expansive as Laporta but I think he has integrity. As for Pep I can't say anything bad for the moment.

I mean it's obvious Cruyff would have solved many problems including by his media presence at least now and in the Barto era.

Yes, Iniesta is very respected as a footballler but this is a different world we're talking about where a lot of people would try to take advantage of him and I don't think he would want to deal with that on almost a daily basis.

In other words, he's indeed too good of a man to get into this dirty world of politics which is really what Barça presidency is mostly about.

And with his shy/introvert personality I also don't think he ever enjoyed being in spotlight as one of the best midfielders ever so as said after retirement would expect him to live far away from public eyes.

He predicted 4-0 before the game.

Make the man our next president.
