What possible good can it do the club bringing up all these issues at this time in the season?
Wait a few months and blog/twitter/interview until their heart is content but let the team be for now.
Smacks more of attention seeking than actually what is good for the club. Handle it like Laporta, keep quiet until the time is right and you don't damage the team anymore than needs to.

Why not wait until the end of the season to do that though?
Laporta is doing the right thing. Let people focus on the team as much as possible for now.
These interviews have potential to drag up garbage like they have in the past few weeks about 'possibility of Messi being sold' etc. It helps no one and just gives mouth piece to people who have no chance of winning the elections.

I'd say it's more attention & information being brought to us with a plan to approach the board at a later stage?
How is it in the slightest effecting the team on the pitch when clearly something that is reported in mainstream media on TV or newspapers get the attention of the players. In fact they'd probably know more than us about the current on goings & dealings with the club they work for.
Exactly as frog says, the on going court case has more limelight than this "blog"

Also none of it is new news its all old stuff just all put together for easy access. The only bit i didnt know was about the 40 million penalty clause in neymar deal incase one party pulled out or changed the deal etc, which really leaves us to ask the question why they pushed the deal through early to end up paying it when the deal was effectivly done

They paid more for Neymar early because of two reasons - they wanted him in the team ASAP and because other teams were in for him that were willing to cover the penalty clause.
What are you referring to as news they have provided? Any links to it?
The news is the whole thing about rossell reign yea but they had the deal signed for after the world cup.so that 40 million could have been used along with the money for the song deal and bring in a proper cb which would have benifited the team more than the neymar deal.also with the deal already done could you have seen neymar going anywere else

There were teams trying to get Neymar that were willing to pay the 40m. So the deal Barca had was not guaranteed to get him after World Cup if he changed his mind about where he wanted to play or how long he wanted to stay in Brazil.
Song signed the summer before.
Bringing Neymar early was right thing to do the only issue is what they did to make it happen.
Im not denying signing neymar was good but why rush it through just because real madrid etc might be interested the first 10 million we had paid for him basically secured the deal for him so why just blow an extra 40 million of the clubs money to get him.a year earlier. Unless the plan was to be a retirement bonus for rossell an neymar snr maybe split it between them and it would be a nice little bonus

You are totally ignoring the fact that other teams were willing to pay the fee for Neymar. So nothing was secured at all.
That and footballing reasons was why he came early. Nothing to do with any retirement bonus.
By all means argue against any issues with Rosell and Barto but if there is enough of them there is no need to bend the truth and only tell half stories to make a point. That is exactly what the link on the other page does.
Im not denying the fact other clubs were interested in him but if you read the article on there site it claims that the first contract was signed in november 2011 which barcelona paid 40 million for. So the deal was secured then and the penalty clause would be invoked if barca didnt sign him or brought the transfer forward. So basically neymar had a pre contract with us from 2011 to come after the world cup when he would be a free agent
