Joan Laporta

best city in the world.

Doesn't look like Stockholm to me.

New elections Whole process starting again.

125ME as guarantees is a disgrace though. There should be a limit.

Will Barto's board have to pay the club the guarantees that they collected in 2015?

 

[JerseyAddict]

He is still negotiating.

mes que un circus?

It is a disaster... the reputation of the club has to be saved.

 

[messi2140]

Is this actually real or is it SPORT and MD still twerking for Bartomeu ?

 

[Raketa10]

New elections would be a tottal disaster for the club! This is embarrasing.

 

[DonAK]

The press are receiving invitations for his inauguration as new Barcelona President tomorrow at 6pm.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

125M is a lot. Much more than when Bartomeu got elected. Add the bad financial situation of the club and the pandemic to it. Getting a guarantee for that sum is not as easy as people think.

 

[Messigician]

Relax Laporta is our president for many years to come

 

[Vilarrubi]

Of course he’ll get it

Calma.

 

[KingLeo10]

We should make friends with some clown tech billionaires who have like 50 billion. Surely, one of them had to be a Barca gloryhunter at some point, no?

Where's Steve Ballmer when you need him?

 

[Porque]

Barcelona should sell the NFTs of their former logo incarnations. That's millions right there.

 

[Windhook]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 125m demand has nothing to do with Barca's bank account but the percentage. Laporta must pay that sum out of his own pocket.

To take office, Laporta and his executive board must first present a bank guarantee worth 15% of Barca's budget within 10 days of being elected.

Wednesday marks the deadline for Laporta to come up with the guarantee, which must also be ratified by La Liga.

Barca's club statutes demand that the executive board are "liable for their actions" while in charge and the bank guarantee is a way of protecting the club against being run irresponsibly.

The statutes add that the members of the board should be "equally liable for [the total amount] unless individual or internal agreements are made between the members of the board for a different distribution of liabilities."

A club rule that literally is a shot in the foot.

Laporta and its directors are already signing the guarantee with Audax [ES][Mundo Deportivo]
