Because Laporta was making comments to media that he is signing Backham, while Backham was in RM office signing the contract with Perez. He escaped the full embarrassment because Rossell used his Brazil connections to get Ronaldinho. I don't see a major problem with the article. Laporta's board had corruption charges, Laporta himself got caught using club's funds to pay off prostitutes.
1-Laporta promised to bring Beckham ,that is true but it wasn't just BS .Manu has announced they had an agreement with him for Beckham for 50M$ ,it wasn't a BS but Beckham rejected barca and he forced a move to Real with less money
Beckham was btw more of financial move ,a player that brings back spot light ,sell shirts etc we were lucky he decided not to come here
2-The whole Rosell brought R10 due to Brazilian connection is big load of shit ,fact he was playing in France ,fact he was open to a move to Real madrid,Barca or Manu and he said that many times in summer 2003 ,he even invited Italian clubs to make a move for him.all 3 clubs fought for his signing in 2003 .it was a very long sage and we won by making the biggest offer to PSG ,we didn't get him because of some false connection in Brazil we got him because we overpaid other clubs
Manu wasn't risking huge money for a player who was gonna be their 1st Brazilian ever ,his success was a risk,RM decided to bring a defender and got Milito b4 he failed medical
3-Laporta made mistakes that is for sure,but he brought 3 CL titles to us ,he is the best president we ever had and it isn't even close .luck can help but it can't get you as far .he let his people do their job ,and he brings the right people
I wanted Laporta out,most of his board members quite and he stayed with a poisonous effect,but he isolated the team and protected it
4-Laporta won the European title in the club 3 major sports,Football,Basketball&handball .this isn't luck
Laporta isn't coming and suddenly making us best team in the world in seconds,he isn't going to touch every thing and turn it in gold,he surely had his ups and downs .but he still managed to get success
