In his latest interview, Rosell denounced Man City for trying to poach FC Barcelona staff (probably in reference to Soriano and Txiki).
It's bad enough those 2 ex-Barca directors are selling out Barca secrets to the sheik
Really? And how do you know that? Rosell told you so?
now we have to worry if they'll poach some of our current staff.
And why do we have to worry? If they poach the person that decided that Song could be a good CB or who ever buys for the B team we should be grateful.
Makes you wonder..some industries legally forbid trading or selling company information but in football it would appear you can steal and copy whatever you want.
It certainly appears that way..if we blame City for trying to copy Barca, them we should also blame Barca for copying Ajax..not to mention that our club profits from the sad state of the other spanish clubs and steals their best players.
I'd say we do consider City as our competitors. Not only do they distort the market with inflated offers and skyrocket contracts, they are, and will be even more in the future, competing with us for same players. Then there is also a competition both clubs are competing in - CL. Well, some day, after they inject couple hundred more millions, they'll probably manage to qualify from the group stages and we'll likely go head to head.
And what about Barca? Wasn't our club doing the same in the past(remember Cruyff, Maradona or Ibra)? So maybe we shouldn't be so quick to judge other clubs.
I am not Sandro's biggest fan, but to be fair, he was elected as Barca president and as far as I know he didn't work for any other club. Txiki and Soriano weren't elected nowhere, they were out of job and took City's money like couple of petty mercenaries.
And as far as I know Txiki and Soriano didn't had a company that made profits from reselling tickets at Barca's games, didn't gifted tickets to the Boixos Nois and then denied it, didn't made Rosell pay for something they all did and didn't offer privileged information to Mundo Deportivo in exchange of Nolla's support or hired petty journalists to Barca TV so they could talk about referees, Mou, Laporta or even Guardiola like it would be their fault that the team plays so bad..
I heard odes for Soriano in previous years. How successful businessman he was etc. Guess what, he ran Spanair (air company) after his Barca job and at his helm, the company collapsed.
For what reason both ex Barca directors were hired? Coincidence or trying to copy Barca model? I think the answer is very simple.
And irelevant for the future of our club..what should worry us right now is that we have no defense, no coach at the first team and no coach at the B team and that our president looks more interested in his revenge over Laporta, Txiki and Soriano.
