Josep Maria Bartomeu

[KingMessi]

He has a very bad lawyer. In cases like this, you ask your client to shut up and you try, as you implied yourself, to find a settlement at least for the taxes not paid.

Then when you enter criminal matters you can try to earn some sympathy by talking, but in barto's case, he should not include alll catalans and the club in his defense.

To the first point, he has hired a new lawyer renowned for these types of cases.

To the second point, implying a Madrid based agenda against Catalonia can create siege mentality among the club's members and help generate support, in Catalonia at least, for the club in this case.

Exactly, any top club worth their salt would come out fighting and create that siege mentality.

These words wont make a difference to his court case but they will help unify the club.

 

[Bertus]

Totally disagree.

If they say nothing on this people start spouting off about how the board are doing nothing to fight the Madrid bias and not standing up for club. Cant win.

You're free to disagree. But Barto is not doing any good by talking imho.

We shall see what will happen anyways. And once he will be forced out this summer, he won't be able to try to hide behind the club anyways like he's doing right now when he's talking in the medias.

He is it creates that siege mentality and the club ARE under attack constantly from the rest of Spain.

Absolutley had to speak out and it makes no difference to the tax case anyway.

Would you care to explain why he should be silent?

 

[Flavia]

He actually says he wont go as far to blame Madrid.

He used Neymar's father name to do so right after.

Totally disagree.

He's doing it for the wrong motives. I still haven't seen him criticizing the lfp when it really matters. He's doing it now for his own sake, not the club's.

He says that Neymars father mentioned it but no way does he say anywhere near enough to get sued all he does it make nods towards who he thinks is to blame.

What do you want him to come out and say about lfp? What have previous presidents done about it as this has been a constant for years.

Barto has mentioned the club not being treated fairly before he was indicted. Both in this tax case and the Messi case as examples.

 

[Bertus]

Would you care to explain why he should be silent?

Because everything he says can be used against him, and against the club if he includes the club in his defense while talking.

And when there really is a public statement to be made, you can let other people who are way better at this job to do it for you, for example your lawyer.

Dunno how it is in Spain, but in France, and the USA it's often like that. You let your lawyers to do the talking.

He has said nothing that can be used against the club.

As president he is the spokesperson of the club it has always been and always been the president who addresses these type of issues.

Just look at that.

 

[JamDav1982]

Just look at that.

Of course he is blaming Madrid, but done it with nods and winks rather than expicity mentioning them.

There is nothing anyone could sue him for.

This is the same paper that printed utter lies about Messi and tried to drive wedge between him and the club so take any of their 'headlines' with a pinch of salt.

Are you a lawyer? What makes you think that his lawyer wasn't aware about the statements his going to make. Maybe we should not jump to conclusions and call people names. Also, did he personally benefit from this tax case.Obviously not, it was done with anticipation that club will benefit from that. Now when things went sour why he should refrain from calling the club to unify behind him.

 

[mssarm]

It's a big question whether we could sign Neymar if Rosell played by the rules and there was no guarantee if Perez signed Neymar he would have played by the rules. But RM could "swallow" it.

This guy just mowed down our image even further. It will take so much time and effort to rebuild that again. Just imagine if he is reelected...
