Josep Maria Bartomeu

[Alarcón]

I am seeing rumors that the talk between us and Qatar Airways completely broke down and now Qatar Airways is negotiating with PSG because allegedly they are not happy with the way Bartomeu wanted 65m a year from them.

Any truth to that? Does that mean we have to scramble to find another sponsor for much less?

yessssssssssssssssss

 

[Topolino]

That would surely force Barto to find more options and he'd actually work his arse off finding them. Not too worried.

I defended him this year as he was responsble for keeping Lucho and saw him as less of two evils when Laporta ran for elections.
His cowardly behaviour ticks me off though.

Our players get hacked by Espanyol players and then Barca gets shafted by Spanish FA.
What does Bartomeu do? Keeps silent like a coward he is. Same as he did on number of occasions previously.

Pathetic.

What would you like to see him do in this situation?

Not a defence of Barto! Just looking for what you would like to see him doing.

I am totally fine with dropping Qatar Airways, however I am worried about not finding someone who is willing to fork up as much as we wanted. It is the bottom line that I am worried about.

There is a little the club can do considering the referee report tbf. 2 match ban is actually what I was hoping for ,I expected more

Raising your voice as the fucking President is the least anyone can so.

Atleast you'll tell them you're not gonna get toyed with by the authorities.

You see Presidents or executives of all the clubs do it, but Barto or our guys only talks or appears when we win anything to garner praise...

 

[Topolino]

The president needs to step up his game, yes.

Even if he's having his holidays or just came back from them - he's the one who's supposed to calm down the fans and send a message to the LFP. It's his job and if he's incompetent than he should run a new election.

I'm seriously pissed about the way this club is being treated and feel quite agressive about it. Those kind of incidents can cause huge upsets in Spain as football is a huge part of their entire population. Ofc, the locals are used to corruption I guess, but it sohouldn't be like that.

Suarez getting banned for doing nothing, and the club didn't even report pau's stomp on Messi. Bartomeu is spineless. It's a disgrace what's happening, and watching our president idle makes me even angrier.

Has commented on a lot of things - Messi case, UEFA issue with flags, FIFA ban etc.

The club always say when appealing certain issues etc as well. I think there is an effort to fight the clubs cause without making it a distraction rather than being too scared to speak out.

Would it really be a huge benefit to come out and start a war at board level? Or comment aggressively every time club feels wronged?

I actually think the likes of Madrid media would love Barto to come out and start playing those games. They want any excuse to take focus away from football.

How would they go about banning Pau Lopez? Can tv evidence be used in Spain?

Espanyol (the bullies in this case) presidents and their grand mothers all spoke like 5 times now (written press, conference, radio, tv, ... ) against barça, our "violence", the refs, Piqué, etc etc ...

Bartomeu .... I hope he's still on holidays, cause otherwise his silence is freaking shameful !

Small club moaning as Barca move on. As long as the club fight as hard to protect players in terms to Spanish FA is all that matters.

Freaking Fartomeu is back. No need to issue that statement against Alves... that will only add unecessary fuel to the fire, really no need. What a stupid president.

 

[Alarcón]

what a piece of shit he is

No no, statement was needed, god forbid the press starts to attack us relentlessly ... Oh wait !
