Víctor Font: Barça is still in trouble

Víctor Font, Joan Laporta’s closest rival for the FC Barcelona presidency in the last election, has criticized the work done by Laporta’s administration.

He compared the club to a patient that “is more cheerful because they have given him painkillers” but is still fundamentally sick, from a financial point of view.

This comment contrasts with what Eduard Romeu, a Barcelona VP, said. He compared the club to a patient that had been in the ICU, but had improved and was now in observation.

Font said that unless structural changes are made, there’s a chance that a similar situation could arise in the future.
