I even forgot to add our very own Jay Jay Okocha to my list.
Back then I would do anything to watch Jay Jay.

As for Cristiano, I have got a natural liking for players who have flair, are great passers and ball distributors.
That's why I don't have De Lima on my list.

Cristiano is awesome, insane and extraordinary as a goal getter. He's got some of the other elements but Nothing else is so spectacular about him.
thank you for saying the truth that GOAT Ronaldo is the GOAT

I think Bartomeau is better. I can list some of his accomplishments. At least under him, Barca became both the most valuable club in football and had the highest influx of income 2 and 3 years ago. Has Buhari done something like that for Nigeria since 2015??
Lolz we were most valuable club in 2019 and within two years we have turned into a laughing stock. Can't attract any top level players and losing the GOAT too. kiss kiss

It shows it was wash... the more you look, the less you see. Barcelona account were all cooked to appear good. Now, wind don blow, everything came crumbling like a pack of card. cool

Whatever Bartomeu achieved simply were all made up otherwise how can you explain how we quickly got into such financial mess in so short a time. Other big clubs are not having it this bad.

Are we now going to use mediocrity as a standard for valuing leaders?

Bart was a pest that came into Barcelona to launder money. Irrespective of whatever accomplishments he had during his stint, the fact that he couldn't manage the progress of the club until it became almost a shadow is a testament that he was only banking on luck. He further went ahead to hire louts to paint the club so badly in the media. That man ehn

He will say PSG paid his buyout clause so technically we didn't sell him because there was nothing we could have done to prevent that.

But I'll say that there's a reason for everything. For Neymar to consider leaving means all was not well with Barcelona. We have been going downhill ever since.

Neymar saw today and chose to leave before the house of cards Bartomeu was building comes crumbling upon him.

Bartomeu's chicken has finally come home to roost. angry

I just pray what is left of the ruins is salvaged as soon as possible so we can move on.

Neymar didn't see shiit.

He left because he was offered everything a player can dream of at that time.

Had he stayed, he would be leaving now with tears in his eyes like Suarez and Messi.

Barcelona and Neymar had been in court for various issues since he left. It was an acrimonious relationship even before he left. If he had everything he needed in Paris, I wonder why he would be back dragging matter for court. Its because he knew Bartomeu was a dishonest and deceitful. Everything was hoax. Putting smokescreen in front of people eyes.

Exactly. Barto was such a conman. I believe that's the major reason he kept on increasing Messi's wages everytime cos he knew his secrets would be in the open immediately he left and all fingers would directly point at him. Laporta is escaping major backlashes right now only because he's a recent successor and everyone else is still tryna draw Barto's dick into the mess. Had he spent the next two years and allowed this to happen, this recent claim from the idiotic ex-president would have been accepted by all and he'll appear the messiah once again.

Yeah, I think Neymar's leaving wasn't just to escape Messi's shadow, boy actually could see through the smokescreen and immediately vamoosed to thin air.

This is the kind of gesture that you expect from true Barca fans that are also Barca player. I don't need your tears in front of the whole world. All the club needed is help from players who have benefited when things were rosy. Not crocodile tears. Tears help no one cool cool

Thank you Gerard Pique. You're a true Barcelona fans.

It is also instructive that Barcelona mentioned this kind gesture in the report.

Bart should just shut his mouth and hide his useless face somewhere. Imagine blaming somebody else that just came in for his failures. Was Suarez not sold to Atletico last season because of the huge wage bill? The mismanagement of funds has been there all these years. Imagine buying bums with exorbitant and outrageous amounts and salaries, spending more than you earn. Rubbish

Most valuable club! How much did we get from Forbes for that achievement, Bros?

Highest influx of income for 2 and 3 years ago, nice to know, but where did that income disappear to? Why are we suddenly in debt? Don't bring Covid excuse o, cos that affecting every other club out there, not Barça alone, why are they not in financial mess like ours?

So, if an engineer builds a beautiful house, and the house falls apart because of bad decisions on his part, you will still call him a brilliant engineer?
Covid isn't an excuse, it was a fact. Before the pandemic of last year got terrible we generated over x2 or x3 of the 180m of last year in 2019 and 2018. Last year it became terrible and our players weren't exactly marketable. Remember that Madrid was also in debt of over 800m but their players were more marketable than Barca's players and they sold a lot of them. Chelsea were in debt of over 400m before the FFP ban on transfers and with Lampard and that woman through player sales they were able to get out of the debt. Bartomeau didn't invest the influx of money properly and that's what gave rise to this fiasco with Coutinho and other high earning players.

Dude set Barca up for a monumental failure. If he were still the president, Im sure he would have easily agreed to Illiax Moriba greedy, exorbitant demands because he was probably afraid Moriba would turn out tomorrow to be the best thing after agege bread grin grin Laporta called their fuckkking bluff

Who did?
PSG activated his release clause. When a player's release clause is activated it means the entity that activated it want to buy all the rights of that player that his employer is holding. It's a common economic requirement in Spain and some parts of Europe.
When PSG activated Neymar's release clause, Barca didn't have the right to say no. The only person that could refuse was Neymar and he didn't.

It wasn't wash, it was factual and it was true. Remember that every team make financial statements to La Liga, and those financial statements are public records. Barca was in debt of 1b euros and considering the income of 2018 and 2019 the club would have come out of that debt if 2020 hadn't been Covided. Not come out but with proper planning, it would have been addressed.
So essentially, it wasn't made up. It was true. Bartomeau had economic plans but no sporting project.

It was clearly not beyond Messi to elect to play for free for the club he 'so much loved' and then get his pay back as soon as the club is out of the doldrums. He did everything he could. Yes he probably did. But he still left and now laughing out loud and hard in Paris grin

I know its all business though but Pique is exemplary.

Noooo, who was mediocre? You do know that under Bartomeau Barca won the same number trophies that Barca under Laporta won during Laporta's tenure? The exact same number of trophies. How is that mediocrity? And Bartomeau didn't launder money. The main wrong that he did is his slander of club legends and that's terrible. But economically, Bartomeau has been Barca's best president.
Economically!!! So that someone won't say I said overall. Just from the economic standpoint of financial gains.

There were plenty law cases flying up and down. It is quite difficult to keep track back then. Besides, if it were Barca that took Neymar to court, it means Neymar made demands that the club disagreed with. Either way, it still boils down to clear mistrust between Neymar's camp and the Barca's camp, being championed by none other than Bartomeu.

Bartomew had us thinking we were the best there is financially. How can we be suffering so much in so short a time. This beggars belief really. It doesn't make sense at all.
