False, comeptely false
Bartomeu's letter exposed that fraud. I'll be brief so will only explain the two key points
A takeaway from here is that, he already handed over the wage reduction plan and some barca corporate ventures to help meet the salary limit. Meaning, laporta already knew he couldn?t register messi before the election.
Second main point in the letter is He also had additional options (excluding super league and cvc) provided by bartemeo board to solve it. I am not saying he should accept it but atleast he knew how it was insanely difficult to keep messi. Yet he still sold us fake dreams and kept selling it to messi too 🧐
Please defence Fraudporta I'm waiting...
Salary reduction on paper is much easier than real life. Nobody wants our garbage for their salaries, which Barto gave them..
Laporta always said the financial situation was much worse than he expected. He thought Tebas would do the right and smart thing and let Barca register Messi. French League gave PSG chance to sign Messi..
Any reasonable league would. Look at the affect Messj had in Paris already. I blame the most Tebas.
Tebas had insane restrictions which would destroy Barca in the short run.
Laporta did the right thing long-term but losing Messi short term sucks. There was no smart option for keeping Messi, unless Tebas did the right thing but he is an idiot.
