As a Barca fan, we trust in Laporta. I believe in him. A lot of impatient rival fans don't understand how good he is. Especially because of Tebas being a baby. Instead of being charged for paying refs, we are about to make money from it. Laporta has slammed and tried to expose Tebas a lot, and taught him a lesson. So as of recent, Tebas has been acting calm, and nice towards Barca to prevent being exposed. I trust Xavi, I trust Laporta. No matte how much rival fans cry, I love this club, especially when it's run by the right people. VISCA BARCA.

1. Josep Maria Bartomeu thought that bringing big names is enough. Which has backfired season upon season. 2. Covid worsened the situation and exposed his senseless decisions. 3. Laporta has to do something to bring back the club back on track else club will be doomed. All the levers can be bought back after raising funds. (not the ideal one but necessary step to safeguard Barça legacy). 4. Xavi, the man who turned tables.

@@masecaccm8372 You have zero business knowledge. Barca didn't sell significant shares of their assets. They sold 25% of the broadcasting rights and 49% of Barca merchandises this Barca are still the main owners of these assets. Secondly the loan that they have taken will be paid off once the Espai Barca project is up and running. Do you think banks like Goldman Sachs will give a loan to you if they don't thing you can repay them? If you think that way then you are the biggest fool I have met. With over 250m euros that Barca will generate with the Espai Barca project they will be able to repay the loan that they have taken for the stadium.

the spotify sponsorship alone would cover 40% of their debt; but we all know you don't spend everything in repaying loans, but to find other ways to reduce expenditures and increase income; in that sense Laporta has done a great job reducing salary mass (getting rid of no less than 17 players from the 2022 squad), calling up La Masia talent and bringing free transfers, all of which with players that came to play for less money than what was offered by EPL clubs (Kunde, Christensen, Raphina, Kesie, Lewandosky) Laporta has been and continues to be the greatest president Can Barca has ever had; his high risk high reward approach can be questionable, but he already brought two trophies this year; all of this in a league that does everything in their power to satisfy every craving some club in white has!!!! the guy loves the cub and defends it like no one else!!

We can also include some non-extra revenue and make it 400m a year and we can pay it all off in less than 8 years and be completely debt free even while spending 100m every season on transfers.

Not an extra loan, they basically took a 1.5bn long term loan to clear all their short term debts as well as renovate a stadium. The good part of the deal is that the loan bank gets a certain percentage of the newly renovated and expanded stadium earnings as payment for 25 years after the official launch in 2025. The stadium is also expected to bring in 250million

This sounds like an episode of Sucesssion. The Spotify angle shows just how crazy modern football ownership has become, the Spotify billionaire couldn't get enough cash together to buy Arsenal, then the maybe 5th best team in the Premiership. Imagine owning a ubiquitous Internet company and not being able to stroll in and buy a not quite top football club. So now he's investing in Barca. Could be a good move.

Buen video. Pero hay un error: entre los presidentes Núñez y Laporta estuvo Gaspart.

I’m glad you guys did this video. I’ve been a cule for a long time now over a decade and I can genuinely admit that knowing our history like this helps understand the situation we are in today

"Media Rights are your most valuable asset". I disagree with this one. This is like year 2023, not 2000s where things like this was true. Barcelona got like 160mil Euros from La Liga TV revenue, losing that one 'only' cut 40 mil from your total revenue per year. For a big club, this is basically a small change, a price of 1 elite player's wages or a price on mid player's contract. This risk is not as big as some people and medias want you to think, as it only cut about 7,5% of Barca's revenues IN COVID-19 pandemic, which was made small because there are basically few revenues in matches. In normal state, this would probably cost Barca only 4-5% of their revenue. The thing is, big clubs didn't depend on TV rights solely anymore, they diversify in matchdays revenue, UCL, UCL TV rights, and many others. Barca's main problem was the salary cap and as you said, failed transfers, not their revenue at all.

Another Excellent Piece…Laporta is our unSung Hero man’s here to stay 🔥

The only reason because Laporta left first is because he couldn't be president again after 2 mandates. That's a rule that he himself impose to the club to avoid situations like Nuñez being 20 years in charge. We would have voted him again though.

As a Barça memeber I’ve found the video to be quite fair. Well done! In the first part I may also explained why it was more than a club during the dictarorship and beyond.

Leasing parts of your club most valuable assets for short term results seems like a good idea. Suure.
