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.
