Re: The Press Room
The International Transport Worker’s Federation sent this letter to all FCB Penyas, regarding Qatar sponsorship
Compliments to FC Barcelona followers,
In name of Qatar Airways’ workers – who describe the environment in which they work every day – and the construction workers who are made to risk their lives in the sites of the 2022 World Cup, we’d like to thank you all for considering the continuity of Qatar Airways as a FC Barcelona sponsor.
We believe yours is a great club with a great mission. That mission consists in representing the local community, the fans and its values. It’s hard to fulfil that mission while promoting an airline known for treating its staff in an inflexible and dictatorial manner. It’s a paradox. We are glad with the recent statements from Josep Maria Bartomeu, where he made it clear the club probably will not renew the sponsorship agreement in 2016. The President has listened to all – fans, workers and unions – that state that it’s incompatible with the blaugrana values and desires and that demand the contract with Qatar Airways is rescinded.
Josep Maria Bartomeu is right. In part, FC Barcelona is what it is due its conduct code and it’s faithfulness towards social responsibility. Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways delegate, said in a quote used on FC Barcelona’s website that “Barça and Qatar Airways share the same values”. That’s an insult to the truth and the intelligence of the club’s fans.
Given the disturbing revelations about what’s happening in Qatar and its choice as a World Cup host, we’re safe in saying that FC Barcelona should never renew the sponsorship with Qatar Airways in 2016. We ask you that we help us to keep it that way. If you continue to show your unhappiness with the fact that your club carries the name of a condemned airline from a nation no one believes in, we’ll assure FC Barcelona will be making the right choice in 2016.
In solidarity,
Stephen Cotton, General Secretary at the International Transport Worker’s Federation.

[1/2] Barca saw the profit of 29m this year, 90% of lift in comparison to previous year's 15m. Without Can Rigalt case it would've been 54m.
[2/2] There was also a reduction in debt which went from 328m in 14/15 to 271m in 15/16. Reduction of 160m in respect to debt in 2010. [fcb]

Re: The Press Room
Guys, are you aware of this?
When you read the report, you immediately feel it's BS. But Barça has officially released a statement to deny everything, which prompts me to believe there might be some truth to it.
What do you guys think?
- Spoiler:
- A scandalous report in Catalonia has claimed that FC Barcelona contracted the services of I3 Ventures, a social media company, in order to damage the reputations of key figures such as Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique, potential presidential candidates, plus former players and managers.
According to the La Llotja del Què t’hi Jugues podcast and radio programme on SER Catalunya, the focus of a controversial operation has been to “create opinions on social media”, “with two main objectives”.
The first is to “protect the reputation of President Josep Maria Bartomeu and his board” and the second, “to erode the image of people and entities that have relations with the club to a different degree”.

Re: The Press Room
Twitter bots are something every political entity uses and the Barca president is a political role, so it's not exactly hard to believe. That they would use it to talk up the board and target ex-players, critics, and even Messi and Pique when they stray the line is not exactly hard to believe either.
But we should probably wait for hard evidence to call his head (for this). He should be fired from a purely sport-based evidence perspective though, without bringing in all this extraneous stuff into it.

Re: The Press Room
You've got a point. The reason I was very skeptical at first is because I thought it had something to do with the 2021 presidential election.
I thought maybe one of Bart's rival presidential contenders is trying to destabilize his presidency, especially now that he seems to be on a shaky ground.
But maybe I'm reading too much into it. He certainly doesn't need anybody to destabilize him, he has already done enough to not be elected.

Do you happen to know if Laporta will run for president? So far, I think only a guy named Víctor Font has publicly announced his intention to run.

Re: The Press Room
Laporta might run but I don't reckon the chances are high. I'd say 50% from what i've seen in the news
President Bartomeu: "This morning I gave the order to terminate the contract with I3 Ventures after it has been verified that one of the accounts linked to this company has made inappropriate comments to people in our organization."
obviously that *bleep* is behind all of this
the only thing he's doing is destabilizing the team
