Barcelona flies on the field and has scored ten goals in its last two games in all competitions.
While the situation on the ground could not be better, there is tension in the junta, especially in terms of friction with the opposition presidential campaign.
Joan Laporta’s interview earlier this week was very necessary to understand the club’s situation. However, this only increased the president’s enmity towards his former competitors, as he had no positive words for them.
The words of Victor Font
Speaking to the media in a passionate interview and responding to Kon Laporta’s statements about him, Barcelona presidential candidate Victor Font shed light on his views on multiple issues and raised questions on the board of directors. from Laporta.
He began by reaffirming that he was indeed firmly in favor of Laporta’s resignation and gave more details about the same.
“I continue to ask for his resignation. For the first time in a long time, all the organized groups of Barcelona and culés agree that we cannot continue with this president.”
“It shows that we are not prepared to face the challenges and take advantage of the potential we have. The president insulted Culés and, in theory, he said almost nothing about Madrid’s enemies.” he added.
Font then spoke about the possibility of initiating a vote of no confidence and said:
“Until the club modernizes, the motion of censure is the only tool to save the entity, so we can never rule it out. We said the same with Bartomeu. The motion destabilizes the club, it is difficult to carry it out, but it should not be ruled out.” said.
In his press conference earlier this week, Laporta claimed that his opposition groups were only working to destabilize the club, and Font responded to the accusation aggressively.
“To destabilize is to do things wrong. It’s about the winter transfer market and keeping an eye on registrations. This [situation] “It is what distresses the players, not our statement.”
Questions raised about Laporta’s mandate
Font then questioned Laporta’s decision to sign Dani Olmo when there was no clear plan to register him, especially considering how he was registered after Andreas Christensen’s last-minute injury.
“My question is the reason for spending 60 million euros and not being able to register Dani Olmo. There was no work plan. If Christensen was not injured, what would have happened?
“Recklessness endangers what Culés I love more. “We need management as God commands,” he added.
He also questioned how Joan Laporta and company believed La Liga’s words that the contract with Nike would be enough to return to the 1:1 rule, given that they historically have not sided with Barcelona.
“The main mistake is to say that in the League they tell us that the contract with Nike is enough. We cannot trust Madrid entities.”
The presidential candidate gave his two cents on La Liga, Javier Tebas, and his repeated rejection of Barcelona’s return to the 1:1 rule.
“I have never voted for Tebas and Louzán. Joan Laporta has approved and voted for this type of fair play. If we believe the laws are not appropriate, let us work to change them.”
Continuing with the long list of questions addressed to the current board, Font asked for more transparency in the sale of VIP seats at Spotify Camp Nou.
“Who is behind the VIP seats investors? “We cannot explain who they are when in Arab countries transparency is total.”
“The Arab world is growing and I would certainly do business with them. “The essential thing in situations like these is transparency.” he added.
“At the press conference they didn’t explain it to us. They only tell us that Barcelona fans who don’t think like the president are the plague.” concluded on the topic.
A massive accusation
The Spanish businessman then made a massive accusation about Laporta’s tenure, saying:
“The situation is worse than with Bartomeu, the debts are greater, the income is the same and we spend almost the same.”
“I am convinced that in a short time there will be problems, loving Barça means doing things well, without dark operations or commissions.” He added about the lack of transparency.
Explaining his vision for Barcelona, he also explained how important it is to be transparent, professional and progressive in today’s world of sport.
“Professionalization and modernization should not go against each other. “Barcelona’s talent must come from all over the world and from all areas.”
“For example, if we created a professional environment for Guardiola, he would surely be willing to return, just like Messi.” he added.
Finally, Font was asked to mention a positive event that has occurred with Laporta, to which he said:
“Signing Hansi Flick, but this incorporation is the result of chance since two weeks before signing him, a press conference was held to reaffirm Xavi Hernández.”
