Joan Laporta

Font tried to play the intelligence card, but he felt it didn't work.

He then became a populist, and he isn't good at it.

He should have stick to his whole futuristic guy and improved on it.

Hard for Font to reinvent himself as a guy who knows what needs to be done when his previous plan had actually been tried and failed. Mixed bag in the best case scenario. Xavi here might’ve had some results as a coach but his involvement in sporting matters left a bad taste.

Don’t see Font coming back from that.

 

[Windhook]

With improving finances and Camp Nou rebuild, Laporta will likely win the 2026 elections.

Font's criticism is not something groundbreaking to swing socios in his favor.

Should copy Dave Bautista and turn into Robert Downey Junior's Tony Stark.

Font is a clown, I don't know what he's constantly given a platform to speak on the club,as if he has inside access.

Laporta probably hates him more than Barto lol.

Not one post of appreciation for the humungous steel balls move of sacking a Barca legend and bringing in a manager 95 percent of the fan base didn't want???

Flick is a massive Laporta win. A move where he had everything to lose and not much to gain.

I have been very critical of the transfer work done during his reign, and still am, but the other parts of the job he has done very well ( apart from the way he dealt with Messi's departure ).

Laporta is still far and away the best candidate for president of the club. His competitors are frankly laughable in comparison.

He had the oportunity to sack him mid winter or to get Flick before Xavi. Koeman won us the first UCL and was a proper star, Messi it's light years from Xavi, Ronaldinho started the second age of glory. They were trashed or made excape goats. So he had the balls and the cinical side.

Xavi got a job with full financial support then he was exempted from the UEL debacle, got saved 2 times when sacking him was absolutely normal, in winter and after PSG.

It's absolutely hilarious to see buffoons defending Xavi 2 years after he got us x2 in UEL. No foreign coach would have survived a day of that shit.

First everyone blamed Koeman, despite facts, the second time everyone blamed the rebuild (as if he had no money) third time everyone blamed the team and some started to question Xavi only in winter, finnaly in the last humiliation everyone blamed Araujo and the "mentality" of Barcelona lol
Catalans have infinite credit

What changed. After Mbappe got to Real the cannons shifted towards Laporta and Xavi bombarded him.
That is not balls, that is getting fucked in the ass and acting desperately.
Laporta had nothing to show, cornered by Xavi and his fanatics, Real being galacticos, wining 2 UCL, Xavi being a noob that made no reconstruction except what La Masia provided in desperate situations.
His time was up, a club 3 billions in debt playing shit on a hill with 40 000 fans and the most overhyped foreing player in the history of Uk and Murica saying you can't compete = bankruptcy
Every major tabloid regurgitated what Xavi said and blamed Barcelona
The hoards of useful idiots on Twitter were ready to bankrupt the club to see Xavi get no blame.
In the end Flick was a desperate hype move that worked.

 

[Porque]

Flick was Laporta's first choice to be fair.

Better late than never in my view. Xavi was important as he had the protection to cleanse the club of the amigos.

One LaLiga title, turgid football overall but the only thing he majorly failed in his time here was not hitting the Euro KPIs which financially hurt alot. Other that that and his epic meltdowns, he would have left the club in good position for his exit. If he had stick to his decision to leave, things would look even better for him.

Had to go obviously, but we are left with an incredible, if very light, base.

On a serious note, Don Laporta is a very very charismatic, likeable guy. People don't like to mention that but it goes a hell of a long way in business, sometimes more than business acumen and nous.

Another reason why he is so far ahead of his competitors in Catalunya right now. The others seem to have the personality of a stick of celery.

That is true to an extent. But he doesn't act smart tbh. Acts indiscreet and comments an anything. Bilbao reps. refused a joint dinner recently and rightly so.

I agree with your points that he talks too much, but Bilbao are assholes tbh.

They had a player who was going to be a free agent, and they accepted renewing him with a 60M release clause.

Do they expect clubs to not negotiate with him with such BO?

Officially, Laporta only spoke about him once, and said he likes him as a player, and that Barca can make signings of that magnitude.

None of that was disrespectful, it isn't like when we tried to get Coutinho or Griezmann or when Liverpool tried to get VVD.

They are acting offended, and complaining about Olmo signing to Liga. Like WTF.

 

[Gnidrologist]

And he can be blackmailed with food.

 

[serghei]

If the team wins the La Liga title this season, Laporta's work will go from good, to tremendous imo. Would be quite something to win two big titles in 3 years of struggling to even register players.

The socios have to be complete idiots to not elect him for another term.
