more than one joke !
Barça is talking after the famous Dani Olmo-Pau Victor soap opera, still not registered by La Liga due to the Catalan club’s financial problems. Jaume Giró, former right arm of Joan Laporta during his campaign for the presidency of FC Barcelona in 2021, engaged in virulent criticism of the club’s leader and management. In an interview given to DiariARAhe described Barça as « joke club ».
A wounded ego?
“If Barça were a circus, we would put our hands on our heads to see that the jugglers and tightrope walkers run the business”he said, denouncing management “without net, without stabilizer and without balance”. For Giró, the club swung a circle “formerly virtuous” towards a free fall : “If this continues like this […] we risk becoming the laughing stock of the world, if we haven’t already. »
We understood that our friend Giró had a lot of money, and these statements are also the consequence of a previous frustration. Tensions between Giró and Laporta date back to 2021, after the election of the latter. Giró had refused to join the management of the club, in particular because of disagreements over management and his disappointment at not having been named first vice-presidenta position ultimately awarded to Rafael Yuste.
What if the last economic lever for Laporta was to launch into stand-up?
