While waiting for the outcome of this matter, the manager did not mince his words at a press conference, unsurprisingly assuring that his club was perfectly managed and that all external attacks were unfounded. “Over the past two weeks, two events have confirmed certain things and refuted others. They confirm the strength of Barça and refute a false apocalyptic narrative from certain circles, made of ignorance, bad faith or other things. Barça returned to the 1-1 financial fair play rule (each club cannot spend more than it earns). This allows us to sign Dani Olmo and Pau Victor. To achieve the 1-1 rule, we signed the best equipment supplier contract in the world with Nike. That, coupled with the fact that companies like Spotify and other partners are there, contradicts those who say the club is poorly managed. It’s obvious. This is what we, the members of the Board of Directors, see. Not to mention that in the meantime we are building a new stadium. »
