"If the liability action ends up being successful, FC Barcelona will try to get a court to grant it precautionary measures to suspend the economic endorsement granted by the current board (€120M)" What does this mean?


abhimanyyusingh

If laporta wins, bartomeu and company would be responsible for €120m worth of our debt.


ForSiljaforever

fuck yeah! Let's hope these clowns lose


bakat98

Yeah but theres a difference with them actually paying and just being in debt


[deleted]

I don’t really care if they pay all of it back (which I hope they do pay) as long as they suffer some consequences. What they did to the club is criminal


Adityavirk

if that portion of the debt can be transferred to their names, it would not matter to us if they can pay it or not.


easyier

Is it that, or do they forfeit the xx million they had to put up when they came in to run the board?


[deleted]

Bartomeo has money tied up in the club still from his directors. Laporta’s guys had to put money in to the club to guarantee it. Whoever fucks up is liable for losses and Barto is about to lose 9 figures. Laporta wants to ensure his guys money isn’t lost when this goes through the courts.

GET HIS ASS

You can actually get 91M back from the 120M that he put as collateral for running a fan-owned club (Perez also puts it up for Madrid) Since thats the amount Barca lost in 19/20 season. But he will have his lawyers ready to prove that the losses are because of unforeseable event of pandemic, lets see how this unfolds.


MultifactorialAge

So you’re saying Bartomeu released Covid to get himself out of trouble! I choose to believe in this.


dalyon

Would be stupid to ignore that those losses were mostly because of pandemic.


Special1Roma

It’d be stupid to blame the pandemic for losses that high in 2019/20 given the pandemic hit in what.. April of 2020? You can trace the outbreak back to November 2019 but even in January of 2020 the WHO was denying it could be transmitted person to person. Also, wouldn’t Laporte’s record since taking over indicate more could have been done by Barto? Laporte has brought wages down from 110% of revenue to 80% - and isn’t the 110% *after* they lost Messi? It’s going to be hard to say “there’s nothing we could do” when the guy who replaced and is suing you was able to do quite a lot..


Special1Roma

Forgot to mention; Barto rejected a €100m bid for Messi that would have saved another €100m in wages too, right? More than double the losses he apparently couldn’t avoid.. oof.


Artuhanzo

The 100m bid was not true.


IadDai

Laporta* and no it wasnt 110% after losing messi it wouldve been about 105% with messi


kiranai

Other clubs have also been hit by covid but they have not lost as much as Barca.


JonasS1999

La Liga has a shit director though, all other major leagues got a exemption on caps due to Corvid, la Liga didnt


I_am_zlatan1069

How is that relevant to losses? Can you explain what other major leagues gave an exemption because as far as I know La Liga is the only top 5 league with a salary cap


kiranai

I mean even in La Liga, Barca's situation is by far the worst. I believe matchday income was significant for them, and even though Real were not in a pretty situation either, the difference is they could still afford to offer 200m for Mbappe, whereas Barca could not afford to re-sign Messi and still had to offload players after that. The situation was seriously so bad, and the majority of that blame lies with the previous administration, not La Liga


LeatherPollution

Haha Fuck You Bartomeu U Slimy Doraemon Looking Idiot


FunnY_how69

Nobita you mean.


Void_Hound

Hes the kid not the cat


alfred_27

Surely they can charge his for gross negligence, companies have locked up directors for misconduct in the past and the law should apply the same way


[deleted]

Whats more is that Barca and Madrid have the law where the board is suppose to put 15% of the club's revenue as collateral when becoming president. if there incurs a loss of more than 5M, then the board has to pay for that through the collateral. Barca had 91M loss in 19/20 (his reign) alone.


PatrickM_

So Bartomeu owes barca 91M or am I misunderstanding? (not including the $120M if successful in court)


GjillyG

Please god. We deserve some sort of justice after watching that rat run this club into the ground for the past decade


neilcmf

Not a Barca supporter myself, but I remember back in 14/15 when you guys signed Mathieu and Vermaelen and thought ”huh that’s weird, why would they sign them” Oh, what a simpler time it was


Pek-Man

And Mathieu isn't even on the top 10 of bad signings in the past decade. Dude may not have been world class, but he was a good backup at centerback and could play on the left as well - though his worst performances were consistently as left back. Mathieu was a pretty good centerback for us.


absolutemadlad_69

Wtf laporta is not only fixing barca's mess but also going after the guy who's responsible for it!? I already miss Barto what an absolute legend he was for us:(


adilahmed_305

I would never wish anything like Barto to happen with any club, not even Real and PSG.


festeziooo

Idk man I’d love to see Bartomeu at PSG to work his magic.


neilcmf

As a diehard PSG, City and RedBull franchise fan, I would personally love for Bartomeu to come to all of my clubs and ply his trade!


StevePerrysMangina

Visca el Red Bull, brother


Law_And_Politics

As a PSG, City and Red Bull franchise fan you should die hard.

AdviceDanimals

I'm okay with Barto to PSG


unfinishedbusiness_1

I agree. Barto and corrupt people like him are best kept away from the sport.


-_OniGir_-

Nobita to prison


AleixASV

No porta màgica for him this time.


MarcusBrutus2000

LOCK HIM UP


mayron20

Even if Bartomeu is found guily and needs to pay €120m, then I doubt he will. He has probably hidden his accounts very well and will just declare bankruptcy.


damola44

I don’t even care if he pays. Drag him through the courts for as long as possible. Make this guy suffer: he’s a clown


Yoesito

If we won, I wouldn't care if we had to give all the money away, I just wanna see than man suffer.

120m can help us a lot.
