Florentino Perez has made a fool out of Laporta. He's pretending he's on Laporta's side but reinforcing his club. On the domestic front he will turn Madrid into Bayern and we will end up like Dortmund.
We are Madrids biggest rivals in Spain and one of them in Europe. We should never have openly supported Perez super league. We should have been diplomatic on all fronts. Perez only gives a shit about Real Madrid. If Madrid end up dominating in Spain they will only have to worry about Europe. Plus Real do actually have money. Renovated the stadium and were willing to pay 200 million for Mbappe. They are just being financially prudent but they will certainly get Mbappe or Haaland. Maybe both but I don't think so.
I feel your pain and I believe Laporta was definitely swayed by Florentino on the rejection of the CVC deal, but the ESL? I think he had no choice. Bartomeu wanted to do it, for the same reasons that Laporta wants to do it, economic boost and the belief to get ourselves on a level playing field with the mighty state clubs and the EPL clubs. Misguided perhaps, but Laporta didn't sign up for the ESL just to support Florentino Perez.
The state of the club today is not Laporta's fault though, it will be his if he doesn't do enough to improve and reverse the situation.
