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.

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.

Bartomeu resign was trending on twitter yesterday

I hope early elections are called, with all my heart

And then what? Why are Barca fans so sure that another president is going to do anything of note?

Bartomeu is Rosell's puppet, he should have been gone long ago, absolute frauds both of them

I'm sure that he will not do anything worth of note anymore, that reason enough for a change

and thats why there are elections every few years, because change is needed

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.

by Myesyats Tue Feb 18, 2020 2:11 pm

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

by Myesyats Wed Feb 19, 2020 10:31 am

Montserrat Font, Barça's finance director, has resigned. She will leave on March 1. [espn]

ABC reports Cadena SER has evidence of Barca intentionally working to discredit people connected with the club, gg Bartomeu

Pique just tweeted "Muppet" in reponse to a MD journalist who is a big Bartomeu supporter.

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?

I can spot few posters in this board on the same boat. Also barcaforum pretty much got ruined because they allowed these saboteurs to troll.

Vice Presidents Emili Rousaud and Jordi Cardoner have asked Barça executives to force a resignation from Bartomeu. [cat radio]

Certain sections of the Barça board are demanding a resignation from Bartomeu and for elections this summer. [cat radio]

by Myesyats Fri Apr 10, 2020 9:19 am

6 board members have resigned in a joint letter calling for elections in summer 2020

About time. Let's hope it happens

by Myesyats Fri Apr 10, 2020 1:40 pm

Three more members are considering to resign. Soon Bartomeu will be left on his own lol

by Harmonica Fri Apr 10, 2020 3:51 pm

If this happens, Messi is the best leader ever, not just in football, but in any sport.

Say hello to a new era. This is just the beginning. They are using a temporary excuse for a permanent goal (much like the whole Unicef shenanigans).

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Apr 21, 2020 7:05 pm

UNICEF was Laporta and the rest was Rosell/Bart, hard to say that it was part of the same grand plan

Still this will probably become permanent, I agree.

I hope its not some oriental BS like rakuten, xhanghai pudong, beko or qatar or someshit

Estadi Rakuten hmm

[Fernando Polo and Shay Lugassi] Barcelona are set to close two shirt sponsorship deals. Spotify will be the main sponsor with a 5 year deal of 340 million. Polkadot will be the sleeve sponsor and pay 100 million for 5 years. The total figure of 85 million per year is the highest in world football.

by Myesyats Thu Jan 27, 2022 8:38 am

I dont think i've bought a single kit in the past 10 years. They've all been horrible, mostly thanks to Nike's poor designers I guess. But having Qatar or Rakuten on the front also didnt help.

Spotify could possibly look decent on the kit, however the new rumored design is also shit. They should switch to adidas

why do the stripes cut off early? It looks better than this year's shite, but could still be better :facepalm:

If Spotify is the sponsor they better not insist on a green logo

Pretty good deal considering our current lack of star power

by Myesyats Sat Mar 26, 2022 12:05 pm
