Im about to rant again. If your eyes are offended by foul language, you might want to skip the following:
Now 4,5 years is not exactly a milestone. Unless you talking about the reigning dynasty of YoLetMeFuckThatShitUp... as in these guys:
Now the amount of fuckery these guys have between them is vast. The consistency of these guys taking L's left and right would make Suge Knight proud. Still, yours truly is about to take my time to honour the most FuckOuttaHere moments of the muppets' tenure. Shoutout to @BigGhostLtd for being an inspiration in ranting.
10 Sacking Chema
Chema Corbella has been with the team for like 32 years. That's like 64 times the length of Cesc's good form. And now you're gonna let that man go without telling him the reason? Rumours were that he was supposedly leaking the lineups to the press. How come he ain't leak anything in the last 30 years? Fuckouttahere
9 Closing international academies
That shit goes waaaay back to before Sandro was actually elected. Son spoke out on how African kids are hurting the local talents and all that. So one of the first things in his reign to do was to end quite a few international youth cooperations and a few schools abroad. Which basically leads us to...
8 The youth fiasco
Some of the cases can actually be traced back to Laporta. Still, there is enough to blame on the current regime. Matter of fact, IIRC the fifa regulations of youth registration haven't been mandatory until 2010. But that's neither here nor there. The actual question is: how the fuck do you manage to get caught, get a warning and not do shit about it? Were youhoping to get off because you're too big to fail? That shit right here had me appalled. Actually, this shit needs to be #1. But wait, there is more...
7 Closing off the membership
You know what's scary? 150k Chinese fans. Or 150k Russians. Because you know, we're mes que un club and all that but still fuck you. Oh, but we would still take your money for like 3 years. Because we're mes que un club.
6 The Cruyff saga
Everybody and their mama know about this one guy responsible for like 70% of all the success in the enitre Barca history. Now, Johan is not necessarily the type of person you'd like to have working actively on your board. But son is like the Obi-Wan ghost or Master Yoda, appeating every now and then and dropping knowledge on your asses. And that's pretty much what the honorary titles are for: to honour motherfuckers whose legacy was not only being good at kicking balls but also lay the foundation for some major achievements in the future. Like Beckenbauer or... Cruyff.
5 The great silence
Remember when Madrid has this one guy in charge, poking eyes and waiting in the parking lot? A whole lot of bullshit has been going on at that time. On and offpitch provocations, media campaigns and a lot of accusations (Doping, Racism etc etc.). Remember what the regime has done to protect the team? Exactly. Nothing. Pep had to go out and deliver that "Puto amo" speech for his players to feel backed. Matter of fact, one of the main reasons Pep cited for his "burnout" was the constant media assault. Not that I wish Uncle Flo over here, but he knows how to get the media to ride for his team. Something that Sandro/Barto never did.
4 Debt and color copies
This one wouldve been hella funny if it wasnt really sad. Remember when Barca has this reaaaally huge debt? If you havent done it yet, read up on that topic on Swiss Ramble. Aint got more to say other than...
3 Qatar deal
Eyo this one actually has me lost for words. Aint much that hasnt been said yet. Fuckouttahere.
2 Getting fucked by Neymar Sr.
Now, the legendary Neymar transfer was great and all. But there is actually more to the story. You might remember that Barca splashed like 8m of something like this on the first option to buy three no-name players from Santos. If someone is able to remember their names without looking up, you can be proud of your memory and the ability to remember useless facts and shit. But not only that: the one and only, the RB savior, the man amongst men - Douglas - was allegedly also scouted by Neymar Sr.. Whose ability to turn whatever he sees into money is kinda dope. Son is like the 2015 version of Midas.
1 The Abidal and Muniesa treatment
This one right here is not about the sporting prospect of Abidal anno 2013. It isn't even about Bartomeu's lies on the press conference. It's about the fact that Abidal and Muniesa did not know their future less than one month before their contracts expired. Let that shit sink in for a minute. This one had me appalled not only on human but also on the professional side.
So thats it. There is a whole lot more to say but I had to keep this shit short and neat. If you disagree, send your opinions to
