Barcelona would have fared better if they had tried renting the Andorra stadium to Gerard Piqué for a small fee to get some fans and some necessary cash out the door.
Ethically reprehensible, of course, but legal and would not completely discredit LaLiga’s economic control program.
Barcelona’s financial crisis, to which I am referring, is the biggest economic scandal in Spanish football since Atlético de Madrid had Luis Manuel Rubi in charge.
LaLiga, or more specifically Javier Tebas, owes everyone an explanation.
What do the leaders of the other 19 top-flight clubs think? Clubs that are not in the dire situation of Barcelona and yet compete with very different assets on the pitch.
Real Madrid was harshly criticized for allowing players like Sergio Reguilon or Achraf Hakimi to leave for huge profits, while the new Barcelona president would have to sell Lionel Messi four or five times to balance the books.
I wonder how much the members of Barcelona knew about the current situation: if a lot, how did they allow it? If not much, why was it hidden from them?
The worst thing is that it gives off a breath of impunity, the kind that have a bad reputation in football, especially in these times of pandemic.
I am sure that some American investment fund will save the situation, or whoever wins the Catalan elections will do whatever is necessary, but the damage has already been done.
The credibility of football is in doubt, but I guess we can always blame VAR or Real Madrid’s European Cups.
