So how come's the club is so badly hit today? If you wanna use the angle of covid, remember every club was hit by it too yet I haven't read up on one being as ransacked as us, If you don't think we've been a laughing stock then bro please read up again, the club's financial state has been hounded and talked down by the media since messi's departure in August, Last week two club presidents (Napoli and Bayern) blurted out that we don't have money, broke blah blah just cause we are linked to their players, And I don't know why you are comparing our signings to Chelsea, united, Madrid, The first two are privately owned while we are socio owned, using cash generated internally, sponsorships or through transfers for business, Vardrid managed to still save cash and curtail their wage bill reason why they go for the likes of mbappe unlike best president bartomeu who continued living like a man that didn't think of tomorrow, More of the attrocities he committed will be brought to the light and we'll see how long he'll be defended

The point is... He made unnecessary signings that weren't needed and the worse part is, they were grossly unneeded.

Signing Griezman at the time we did was not needed at all. Yes, we needed a fix for dwindling Coutinho but how did he expect to play a left-footed player on the right when Messi was still very active? Let's not even talk about Malcolm and Andre Gomez among others.

Bartomeu's project in Barcelona was far away from a dependable sporting and business project. Maybe the latter was considered a bit since he sold us as big spenders with promotional content and all, but I don't think he considered the prospects of the club, alongside Abidal. Forget the success we accrued, the ONLY reason behind that success was MESSI, which is why he had to invest HEAVILY to ensure that he continued but foolish as he was, he didn't realize that the GOAT isn't immortal.


Bartomeu dealt with us grossly and I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have noticed this if the covid waves hadn't happened.

You don't think including Xavi's name here is unnecessary and disrespectful?

I'm tired please.

Good players are leaving while useless players are pledging loyalty.

Loyalty kee you there.

Just denounce your woeful contract and move the fuccvk on. We don't need your stupid loyalty. We need you to fuckkking leave

Geeez!

Covid must be mentioned, no club in La Liga or in Europe lost more money than Barca due to Covid 19, considering that Barca made more than 50m Euros from the museum alone, Barca shop and merchandise weren't being sold, no revenue from ticket sales and others, so while many clubs lost money, Barca lost the most money. Remember that the previous year that's 2019 Barca alone generated more revenue than any club in Europe so you will not blame Bartomeau for Covid and that's when Barca's debt challenges spiralled out of control.
Going on, Barca is socio owned but when Messi was the highest earning footballer in the world, we didn't hear you complaining o, when Suarez was the second highest earner at Barca, nobody heard your voice.
Is Barca the only socio owned club in football? No! That a club is socio owned does it mean they will stop generating revenue? Do you think Spotify cared whether we were socio owned or not to buy sponsorship of the front of our jersey? You are raising extremely irrelevant points to be honest. During no point in the history of Barcelona has Barca enjoyed financial success like it did under Bartomeau, the heights were giddy and unrivalled, the 4th most valued club in 2013 became the most valued club by 2018 and 2019.
The third highest revenue generating football club in 2015 was the highest revenue generating club by 2017 and 2018 and even 2019.
What you are calling laughing stock is jealousy. Plain jealousy, look at this thread and see how many trolls it attracts per day, is that being a laughing stock or plain jealousy? The club with the most active social media presence will definitely attract a lot of hate, you are here being affected by trolls and forgetting that Barca is the first club to go through an economic downturn, and it won't be the last you are allowing yourself to be swayed by trolls and claiming that Bartomeau turned Barca into a laughing stock.
Show the Barca president in the last 25 years that under his leadership Barca enjoyed more economic successes and footballing successes than Bartomeau...

This club needs to be investigated and punished, wtf is this

Fring players don’t want to leave Barca ,they are enjoying the juicy salary they earn

All thanks to the clown called bartomeu

IKON360:

You know as at when Koeman was sacked, Barca needed a win to qualify in UCL, were in Super cup espana, Copa Del Rey and finally dropped into Europa league?
Guess which one Xavi won after having the best transfer window in the last 3 seasons?

Best transfer window in 3 seasons? Lol. Okay... I really should leave you to clown alone

Zidane won UCL in his first season

Who thinks it's a good idea to sign Alonslow?
Our tears go tey sha

Kilishihunter:

Lol, So because under bartomeu we were the highest revenue generating club in so, so and so years, He shouldn't be blamed for his gross mismanagement and highly ridiculous dysfunctional running of the club that it had to take the covid pandemic to expose the ruins being hidden, Was Suarez not shipped out for peanuts? Was city not ready to take Messi off our wage bill after the 8-2 spanking? Why did he refuse to sell knowing we were severly in the red and needed all the financial leeway we could get? I hear you sir
Hopefully Laporta will once again steady the tides and leave the club in a better state for sensible people to build upon this time not clowns like Rosell or bartomeu

IKON360:

Greizman was signed because Suarez the best or one of the best strikers of his generation was becoming a persistent source of disappointment for Barca, he was not pressing like he used to and he missed more chances than he was converting. On this thread I am sure that many of us old timers could remember some heart breaking misses from Suarez plus his amusing UCL drought. That's why Greizman was signed. Greizman was a brilliant forward for Athletico, and was the best player at Euros 2016 and the third best player in La Liga only behind Messi and Ronaldo, that's why Barca wanted him plus he was a proven finisher and la Liga expert.
Gomez was part of Portugal's team that won Euros in 2016 and he was actually very good in that tournament, that's if you watched Portugal's match without hoping for Portugal to lose because of Ronaldo.
And this talk that Barca only enjoyed success because of Messi is I'm sorry but extremely dumb and stupid.
In the past 20 years the coaches that have not won any trophies with Barca all had Messi in their team yet they won nothing.
It basically shows you that while Messi is good, he still needs people that can bring out his best or everything will fail. So stop this talk that Barca achieved success because of Messi didn't Setien have Messi, didn't Gerrard Martino have Messi, what trophies did they win?
Was Bartomeau's tenure as president geared towards to the business end of things over the sporting one? Yes, it definitely was. Besides you need money to have a successful team. Look at Man City, look at Liverpool, look at Madrid, even Bayern.
Did Bartomeau make mistakes? Yes he did.
Did Bartomeau do anything right? Yes, he did.

IKON360:

Now you are also blaming Rosell. Man I don't know what to do with you people again.
Is it Bartomeau that is selling Ferran Jutgla to Club Brugge? Is it Bartomeau that of all people to have interest in it's Christensen that is being benched by Chalobah? Is it Bartomeau that sold Emerson Royal to sign Alves and then Azpilicueta? Is it Bartomeau that promised Haaland and then it ended in tears? Is it Bartomeau that used Messi's renewal as campaign point only to swiftly disappoint on it?
See if you want to criticize Bartomeau, criticize him on his bad decision making when Barca was swimming in wealth and the unwillingness to focus on the sporting aspect of running the club and focusing instead on money

Someone was elected and he is earning wages to be the president of Barca, he said he will make Barca to compete, he said he will integrate the La Masia players, he said he will revitalize the economy of the club and most importantly he said Messi will stay under him.
Well, at least he has failed on the last one, let's hope he doesn't fail on the rest and try to make something happen and stop blaming former government like Lai Mohammed was doing.

I go to twitter. All I see i see is Dembele is leaving to PSG, FdJ might be sold, Jutgla is sold, Gavi's contract deadlocked

And then I also see Umtiti assures that his knees are up to Barca level , Braithwaite pledges his love for FC happy to complete his contract, Pjanic says he has two years left on his contracts , Lenglet does not want to leave Barcelona

Are you kidding me?

JP, Azeez... Have you guys checked our yesterday match again?

I know it's against a poor Aussie side even though they call them all-star in a preseason game but you can't but you'd see some notable points like Balde striving forward as a modern Fullback and Dembele shooting, not to kill birds.

FirstbornWds:


With which squad did any of these ones win the major competition that you are talking about? Even Pep, as genius as he is, didn't win any title in his first year as manager in City, despite having a good squad.

But it's Xavi that took over a declining team languishing in 9th position and was closer to relation than top 4 that you think should be crucified? Or you'd prefer not to talk about how we played ucl football against 3 teams and could only register one shot on target under koeman.

Ikon, can you please return back to your sabbatical leave and avoid football talks for a while? You seem to have lost it.

jpmoriarti:
You have to look at the quality of squad before you start comparing shiiit.

Xavi did well to take a broken and demoralized Barca squad to qualify for UCL. It is not always about what was won in the first season. Ronald Koeman also won a trophy in his first season but left the squad languishing in mediocrity.

Xavi has already impressed me with his methods. I am already convinced that he is the man for the onerous job. He can't transform this team within a few months.

He will have a chance to do a proper pre-season and sign players the economic situation of the club can allow.

Arteta won FA cup in his first season but could not still qualify Arsenal to UCL after 3yrs. Mou won Conference league but still cannot qualify Roma for the UCL.

I tell you that those clubs will swap those trophy for a place in the UCL.
