Barcelona: Charged with corruption .... again!
- Thread starter The Boy
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Their annual expected revenue is forecasted based on achieving those targets. Top 4, fair enough. Any UCL achievements? Kinda crazy.
Jesus, lighten up, Francis!!
That's a pretty decent joke. How are you not getting it?
Yeah I found out his name right after asking the question, no new articles about it though sadly.
Excuse my ignorance, would appreciate if someone replies to this:
Why can't an oil state/Chinese simply buy them out and relieve them of most of their debts? If Saudi bought Newcastle to improve the image and marketing of their country whats stopping them from using their unlimited funds to buy out Barca?
Is it because of Catalonian pride? They don't want Barca falling into the hands of corporates? Or are they no longer an attractive proposition because most of the levers they signed are non reversible and they've signed away TV rights etc for the next 25 years...?

Its a 'fan-owned' club.
Especially considering that there isa valid contract for your full salary that you can just insist on.
It's a club, not a company. A club has members (the socios as they are called in Spanish), but no owners and therefore can't be bought.
Should they find themselves in a much worse position in a few years to the point where they need the government intervention to bail them out. Would it involve Spain gov as well considering they are playing in La Liga? if so then Catalonia pride is a bit rich.
At this point they should leave La Liga and move their fecking club to Germany
FC Barca LEVERkusen should be perfect match.

Lighten up kiddie, we'll say what we like (within mods remit).
No-one's having a pop at you for your digs at Ronaldo? even though this is a United site mainly.
I'm sure there are plenty of sycophantic Reddit threads full of Barca fans who think this transfer window was the greatest ever (regardless of the risks taken). Leave, go join one of them if you want an echo chamber. We'll get over it.
Kind of funny how so many people of the cheating league complain about Barca. Your so called big 6 has 2 teams made up of oíl. Barca selling it's own assets is embarrasing but Arabic or Russian billionaires pumping billions into the league is perfectly fine.
What is the cheating league?
Obviously the one with Liverpool
A couple of seasons from now I bet their shirt is going to make Mexican league shirts like a peaceful blank canvas.
They are tense, understandably so.
A league where 8 out of the last 10 titles were won by oíl clubs. Liverpool and Leicester deserved to win. The others are the doping league, the cheating league. But no, Barca are awful for selling it's assets. No teams who nobody cares about spending hundreds of millions but can buy any player they want.
Yes, yes it is. Selling future revenue and assets because of decisions you made is really embarrassing actually. Trying to blame one person for all your failings is also just as nauseating.
Don't think Real Madrid and Atletico sold their assets and yet, the won the 3 last titles with Real Madrid winning the CL on top. Nice attempt at a diversion but you'll convince absolutely no-one that this whole lever thing wasn't caused by anything but sheer incomptence within your club.
Atletico Madrid sold 8.2% of the television rights to CVC for 50 years. In addition to a capital increase of €182M.
It is a club with an immense debt, so it has been seen that they have not spent anything this year.
Very good. Deserved a like.
Barca aren't awful for selling their assets. That's more poor planning. Barca are awful for the way they're treating their players and for some of the more unseemly tactics they're adopting to get themselves out of a situation their stupidity got them in. That's why they're awful. Oh, and for the 'mes que un club' circle jerk.
Barca selling assets is not embarrassing per se. If you think that is why everyone is making fun of your club than you are being ignorant.
"Apparently, the WhiteBIT logo is also expected to appear on the back of the shirts of the sections, and could even be included in the sleeve of the women's team, in the absence of official confirmation."
I don't know if the logo will appear on the back of the first team.
Sure, but keep in mind Ronaldo has rightfully been getting torn apart on this forum too. They even voted Messi over him on a united forum.
having said that, carry on, I know united have a ton of issues themselves to deal with so you need deal with it however you can.
Cheers
The old 'have a dig but try to hide it' post?
Try harder. And stick to your own club (or drooling over an ex player) OR take comments on yours from other clubs fans.
I've got tonnes if you want
you realise we don’t support those teams either, yes?
Living within your means.. what a concept
Of course it was caused by Bartomeu. However, managing a club properly only matters when you are a real football club. Qatar Saint Germain is not. As much as I dislike Real Madrid I was happy when they defeated the 3 big cheaters. Including, of course, QSG.
Real Madrid did build their team thanks to their previous football succcess, they are not an artificial team.
Criticism from real successful teams that play fair like Bayern, Liverpool, etc. Is fine. But what's the point of having cheaters criticize how we do things?
I criticize pretty much anything I want, including my own club when needed, and don't need the permission of someone who uses silly twitter punchlines like QSG or Qatar Saint Germain. You can expect a lot of criticism when I feel like it.
It's not silly, PSG is only what it is thanks to Qatar, not Paris. Therefore, QSG is a more suitable name.
Over 75,000 in the stadium just for a club friendly. The real revenue to get back on track will come from ticket revenue. Good start but hopefully a good season is ahead.
Good joke, ticket revenue is nothing these days when you look at transfer spending
Shirt sells of Lewandowski will cover transfer spending...
I'd love to know as well, but I assume if the members sign off on it and La Liga approves, there's no problem.
Mes Que Un Club referring to the fact that Barca membership is complicated - membership passes down through family, the members control the club, not the president etc. etc.
Of course it's impossible and the government will just bail them out if it comes to that.
£500m? How much are those shirts!?!?
Christensen not available today to play for barcelona because cervical discomfort. That boy really looking after his body.
