Josep Maria Bartomeu

[khaled_a_d]

Same board though, Bojan...And I never said Joan was not guilty of any wrongdoing but in terms of both sporting success & club reputation, can there be a more striking contrast between the first treble & this one and the respective boards?

I've only followed the club for just over 15 years but I have never seen the club's reputation poorer than it has been with this board...Night & day

Come on now ,Gaspart era was much worse ,way worse

 

[Barcaman]

Time to move on mate. Rosell is gone. Bartomeu did mistakes but so did Laporta and so will any future president.
Bartomeu did great to renew both Dani and Lucho while everyone was worried and speculating. It's saying a lot about him and I think he even surprised his supporters there.
I really don't want to get back into Laporta vs. Rosell sins discussion. It won't take us anywhere.

Neymar case, Rosell/Teixeira/Traffic, B team relegation, Qatar, Pep attacks, stadium fiasco, FIFA ban, losing youth talents, Abidal, Valdes, Thiago, exploitation of Tito, Faus et al pushing Messi out of the club, kicking Cruyff to the curb (Then trying to invite him back ahead of the elections in Berlin), Douglas, de-emphasis of the cantera & Sport/MD back to being embarrassing

Time to course correct

Neymar case has yet to be resolved lets see how it pans out.

Rosell/Teixeira/Traffic has nothing to do with Barcelona and I am sure any charges were dropped.

Qatar - sponsorship was voted on and approved by members.

Pep attacks - Club never attacked him.

Stadium Fiasco?

FIFA ban leads back to Laportas day as well and Laporta/Cruyff said would have fought it in same way.

Losing youth talents - happened before and will happen again.

Abidal? Gave him new contract when diagnosed with cancer and offered him a job any time he wanted it after stopped playing.

Thiago? Letting him go too cheap? Alternative to play him more just to increase clause and get more money.

Exploitation of Tito? What are you on about???

Cruyff - They were voted in with the knoweldge Cruyff would be going. Would have been a shambles to have both in club fighting in press.

Demphasis on cantera.... record number of youth players in squad the past few seasons. Cantera players been given plenty of chances.

Same old crap from you repeated time and again.

 

[Chong Li]

If this lying criminal get elected we are doomed...

Ruined La Masia, Kicked Abidal out, Tax evasion, pushed Thiago out, shameful Qatar sponsorship etc.


Laporta to the rescue plz!

 

[Barcaman]

Rescue us from the treble! Promise us Beckham!

Utter garbage but carry on.

 

[FCBarca]

Come on now ,Gaspart era was much worse ,way worse

Gaspart & Núñez were terrible, that's not the same thing as bringing the club into disrepute the way this board has, the FIFA ban, Neymar fiasco, ongoing corruption/fraud investigation and the horror that has happened to our beloved kit that used to not have a sponsor

Even some purists never quite accepted the shirt under Laporta but we could be proud of it:

This board's shirt? Qatar

 

[JamDav1982]

I find it absurd the way people become moral crusaders when it comes to the deal with 'dirty' Qatar money.

Reminds me so much of the independence debate in Scotland when people started crying about nuclear weapons being immoral etc. In reality they didnt give a fuck they just heard other people say it and it became a moral/political argument.

All just seems so fake to me.

If Barca is morally wrong for dealing with Qatar then so are Pep/Xavi etc.

 

[Ritchie]

Can you trust the Socis to vote this board out though? They overwhelmingly voted Rosell in.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

Yea the president was so influential in our treble. What did he do besides firing Zubi and not firing Lucho mid-season ? Maybe tell Faus not to antagonize Messi in his pressers, oh well.

And yes jamdav since you used the term Xavi and Pep are/were morally wrong, but they're not getting money to tattoo QATAR AIRWAYS on their freaking face are they ?

You better hope Laporta doesnt keep the Qatar deal then.

My bet is he will but make some excuse about the club being run in a way it now needs a sponsor and the likes of FCBarca will lap it up and blame everyone else.

 

[Barcaman]

Unicef was just about opening the door for regular sponsorship. Everyone knew that.
And yeah, Qatar is bad but it was voted and approved.

What would you give Laporta credit for in building his Barca side?

 

[DonAK]

Influential President brought us the treble along with influential Zubi.

I hope Bartomeu is re-elected and appoints Zubi back as Sporting Director. Dynamic Duo.

Zubi deserves as much credit as Bartomeu. If Bartomeu can be relected then why can't Zubi come back?

 

[Chong Li]

Utter garbage but carry on.

Sorry, but you know nothing.

Facts are facts.

Do you want a president who may end up in jail next year?

But of course, Bartomeu won us the treble. All by himself!
