Trashing your own players like Koeman did publicly doesn't exactly help the situation does it?
Trash them behind the scenes if you want to, but keep it out of the press.
Well, Koeman was in an open war with the press and Laporta. Koeman used it to defend himself. The mental pressure he must have felt must have been immense and unhealthy. Koeman is not a bad person. I'm sure he really loves the club, but that's what people naturally do when you lock them in stalemate.
Not gonna defend him and say it was the right thing to do it so openly, but in the end he was talking straight facts about player's quality.
He was right although a couple of the players he wanted to sign himself like Memphis and Dest haven't exactly lived up to expectations either. With Memphis I can at least understand that he was probably meant to be a secondary or third option to Messi and Ansu. He was never expected to be the leading man.
But yeah the way the entire situation with Koeman was handled was pretty pathetic.
Barca will in total lose at least 60m euros, Laporta projected the club will make the quarter finals of the champions league as well as sponsor bonuses which are essential.
He "projected"?
This man is a fucking idiot. He should never have brought Xavi in. He should have got an interim coach and then got someone who would have a long term project with "modern football", not the slow outdated crap we specialize in.
Fuck Bartomeu and Laporta.
Barto > Laporta
People forget Barto knew how to make a shitton of money
No doubt now that the worst of Covid is over he would have us flying again.
Laporta left the club in debt last time around. Barto grew our revenue to a whopping 1 BILLION
he did all that in your dreams buddy while you were giving him afoot job

Hired the composer of his campaign song into the club?s communication department.
This is like the US president-elect awarding ambassadorships to his campaign doners.
