Joan Laporta has been in the eye of the storm in Barcelona and around the world in recent weeks because of the endless file for the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. But also because of the signing of the deal with Nike which some opponents criticize because of the lack of transparency of the commissions which ended up in the pockets of Darren Dein, intermediary in the negotiations, and had even requested the cancellation of the last Exceptional Assembly . Today El Confidencial reports that 10 opposition groups ( Compromissaris FCB, Dignitat Blaugrana, Senyor Ramon, Seguiment FCB, La Resistència del Palau, Sí Al Futur, Suma Barça, Som un Clam, Transparència Blaugrana and Un Crit Valencia), led by Victor Font who was a candidate for president in 2021, published a press release demanding the resignation of the president due to of negligent management which brings Barça to a point of no return. » “You must resign to make way for a new stage with new ways of doing and managing and with people who have these primary energies, so necessary to give life and vigor to an entity that needs change and professional management . We ask you, therefore, in the first term, that they resign immediately.”
A motion of censure launched?
The reasons why management is criticized are numerous: management of the payroll and the case of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor, the ignorance of the auditors during the approval of accounts 23-24 to avoid recognizing losses, the scandal of the aborted signing, under pressure from supporters, of the French basketball player Thomas Heurtel who had left China to sign his contract, the conflict with the Grada d'Animacio which brings together the ultras at the stadium or even the contract on 20 years of VIP boxes at the new Camp Nou signed “with companies from countries with which the Board of Directors promised never to conclude agreements. » The opponents therefore call for the resignation of the president but envisage in the worst scenario, the launch of a motion of censure, “the only tool available to the members”, even if they do not want to reach this point because “this involves significant effort and wear and tear on the club. »
