And if this is true then people still think selling the club (majority of it at least) would be such a terrible idea?
I mean clearly they have proven over and over again that they can't run it properly. It's one fuck up after another at this point.
Something need to be changed for sure.
Either give an external company full powers to audit the club and implement clear guidelines and accountability measures so something like this never happens again. Same goes for idiot presidents like Bartomeu. Need something to stop clowns like that from coming into power again, or if they come into power stop them from wrecking the club and tearing it apart.
The current system doesn't work as every president just keep doing whatever they want.
Problem comes down to who will implement it?
Even if Laporta weathers this storm and somehow manages to rebuild the club again to a position where it can spend and be self-sufficient, and stable......what is stopping an incompetent fool like Bartomeu into coming into power again and basically using the club like an AMEX card without thinking about how he's going to pay for it all later or simply not giving a shit about it as he might be gone in 4 or 6 years anyway?
Unless stringent controls, broad auditing and measures are brought into place this club is at the mercy of a man's honesty and competence again and might be sold anyway if it goes off the rails.
