Unfortunately, it looks like we'll be stuck with this idiotic board along with their idiotic decisions until 2021 when Victor Font is elected. Bartomeu and Co. are looking at things in the short term. Barto did say that he wants Barca to win UCL before his presidency is done. All I can say is, good luck with that Barto.
No doubt about that. In typical Rosell/Bartomeu fashion the idea behind winning the CL does not translate to a successful Cruyff sporting model, an actual manager at the helm of the club, a clear and defined sporting project but mostly buying attacking "Galácticos" (preferably Brazilian) and allowing such players, along with the old guard, to run their own "club de amigos" clan that effectively runs the club from within and decides who gets signed (practically - in particular the big names) and who manages the club.
All it took for Malmierda to stay for another season (killing most of us from within) despite another unforgivable and highly embarrassing (that cannot do it) CL defeat, was for some prominent "club de amigos" clan members (Messi, Suárez, Piqué, Rakitic, Alba and Busquets) to voice their opinions in public about Malmierda. So from being a dead man walking, he was suddenly resurrected and now he will "save us all".
Third time is the charm and all of that.
All due to the cuck Bartomeu not being a real leader and having no visions. As long as the "club de amigos" darlings are protected and doing what they please and we don't go trophyless (countless of successive embarrassments in the CL seemingly have no consequences unlike in every other club of our stature), he will not change anything even though it is obvious for even the dumbest fan, that something is fundamentally rotten at the club. Not just out of a sudden but it has been the case for years. It is not some sudden case of insanity and incompetence. It has been a gradual process.
Best exemplified with the likes of Suárez and Rakitic likely staying while the likes of Dembélé will be shown the door.
