  1. Barcelona: Charged with corruption .... again!

    Loan Japorta is just too good :lol: :lol:
  2. Jude Bellingham | Signed for Madrid

    It really is not a common expression and you never hear it coming from a foreigner. Real Name would make instant friends with any Spaniard that hears him say "x tiene jamones por patas". Coming back to the topic, isn't Valverde, Camavinga, Tchouameni and Bellingham a bit overkill for 3...
  3. Official: FC Barcelona charged with Corruption over payments to former referees chief | UEFA open investigation

    According to this article the son of Negreira (who made ref reports for his father who allegedly used them to decide which referees should be promoted or demoted) kept track of the refs who harmed or benefited Barça through penalties and yellow and red cards. He kept track of several...
  4. Barcelona: Charged with corruption .... again!

    According to this article La Liga didn't sanction Barca for the Neymar case after Barca gave a loan of €4.7M with an initial contribution of €230k to Tebas (La Liga president) who needed it after a tax inspection. Tebas has answered via Twitter and said that the information is not correct but...
  5. Does RM get the credit it deserves over the past 10 years?

    In the 18 seasons 2001-2018: Barca won 10 leagues and 4 CL Madrid won 5 leagues and 5 CL Valencia won 2 leagues and was once the finalist of the CL and won 1 EL Atlético won 1 La Liga and was the finalist twice on CL and won 3 EL Sevilla won 0 leagues and 5 EL Apart from Barca I would say...
  6. Does RM get the credit it deserves over the past 10 years?

    If that really is the Zidane quote you talk about so much, it is not really helping your case. He says La Liga is the most difficult league (can't say I agree), not the most difficult competition. As a player, didn't Zidane famously struggle to win the CL? He only managed to win 1 if a remember...

    Spanish third division
  8. Barcelona: Charged with corruption .... again!

    Ok, so as I understand it: it is estimated the new Spai Barca (the whole project) will generate some €350M. Of those €94M go to paying the loan. So far it looks like the loan (€1500M without interests and €2800M including them) doesn't cover the whole project, only the renovation of the...
  9. Barcelona: Charged with corruption .... again!

    That would make sense. Something weird is happening with the new Palau and the board is being confusing trying to avoid it. I thought the Palau was essential to the new project and the expected income. Here you say that income is for the whole Espai (including the Palau). Frankly, I am not sure...
  10. Barcelona: Charged with corruption .... again!

    Those €350M+ include the income generated by the new Palau, right? I haven't followed this closely but I understood that the loan didn't specifically include funds for the construction of the new Palau although the board said the Palau is included. If they really plan to cover the €400M for...
  11. Barcelona: Charged with corruption .... again!

    Isn't Barcatv part of Barcastudios? I thought Barcastudios was Barçatv + Barca social media
  12. Does RM get the credit it deserves over the past 10 years?

    Not winning the league that often is not a bad accomplishment at all given the fact that Barca spent all those years paying Negreira.
  13. Does RM get the credit it deserves over the past 10 years?

    Any Spanish team other than Barca that won a national title during the Negreira years deserves a lot of credit.
  14. Official: FC Barcelona charged with Corruption over payments to former referees chief | UEFA open investigation

    Barca declared they paid millions for reports. Negreira declared and the prosecution believes that they actually paid to influence the refereering: Negreira's son was in direct contact with the refs as their mental coach. He would evaluate the refs for his father, VP of ref committee. Negreira...
  15. Official: FC Barcelona charged with Corruption over payments to former referees chief | UEFA open investigation

    Interesting news: According to this article Negreira's son made reports evaluating the refs in relation to future promotions or relegations to another division. He did these reports for 'Dasnil 95', his father's company. The same company where Negreira received a big part of the €7.3M from...
