Calendar of FC Barcelona

Víctor Font is one of the precandidatos to the elections of the FC Barcelona that will take place the next 2021 in case that do not advance . His future project for the Barcelona club calls 'Himself to the Futur' and has settled his bases in some events celebrated previously. In an open letter, atizó to the current managerial by the form to manage the club during the last times.

In the first place, it warned of the transition that avecina. "From it does time, Yes to the futur comes warning to the partners and partners of the Barça that the club directs of plenary to the "perfect storm": it has to substitute to the best generation of footballers of the history, build and fund the Espai Barça and compete against anonymous societies with financial resources almost boundless. And it has to do all this preserving the property of the Club in hands of the partners and his competitive capacity so much in the football as in all the sections", commented.

It was then when it happened to the attack against the current board: "If the risks were big, now are gigantic: we are in the middle of a pandemia that has paralysed the planet and that will have effects that today still can not foresee on all fronts of the life, also in the sport. Likewise, it does months that assist to a shameful climbing of chapters of the institutional behaviour of the Club in which the last unseen the gravity of the previous, culminated these last days with indictments and reproach grave between directors, and six resignations of hit. Justo in the moment in that the only priority would have to be do go out to the Club of this crisis, the presidency announces a new remodeling of the Managerial Board to keep in the power. Now what is in risk is the same Barça".

Besides, it enumerated the previous cases of scandals of the current board. "The evil does not come of now: we have lived the conviction to the club by the case Neymar, the desavenencias made public between employees and players with executives and directors, and the audit of the case of the social networks, that seems will confirm the scandal. Add him a sportive politics errática, the decomposition of the Managerial Board and the important reduction of income owing to the pandemia, and the result is the danger of economic failure and moral failure in which the club has installed . Game over", wrote.

"The institutional behaviour of the club is shameful"

It reported the fault of transparencies and asked a new project. "It is necessary to begin of zero. The model of management that in the last years had allowed us be the best club multideportivo of the world no longer serves. The fault of transparency, the invoice more than anybody but spend all, and the have to sell or exchange players in the last minute of each season to square some accounts squeezed is unsustainable", affirmed.

Also it explained that from his platform contacted with the current directive. "From Himself to the futur have been always adherents of the institutional stability. And it is not a sentence: when it burst the pandemia, contact with the president Josep Maria Bartomeu to put us to his service and try form a united front during these weeks. But the president opted for doing an escaped to in front, as if this went a crisis any one. And it is not it", it explained.

It commented also why it does not ask elections anticipated: "In normal conditions, the gravity of the facts would have caused that Yes to the futur asked resignations and the immediate announcement of elections anticipated. It would be an irresponsibility not to do it. But with the country confined and without knowing when will go back to the normal life, is practically impossible to collect signatures, present candidatures, campaign and open the urns this summer. And as, besides, the Club has dilated as much as has been able to the use of mechanisms of electronic participation of the partners in the big decisions of the entity, not even is realistic to articulate a motion of censorship with legal effects to report the action of government injustificable that are suffering", wrote.

It regretted that, to the not having elections anticipated, the desestabilizada together current can take out the club forward. "And this is grave, because in the next months it will be necessary to take decisions importantísimas that will define the future of the institution. And it is necessary to ensure that these decisions take in a context of stability and with a very solid project that support them - requirements that now do not give . The reformed Managerial Board, that is born without authority and credibility, can not hide behind the pandemia and take decisions that can mortgage the future of the Club", commented.

The requirements of Víctor Font

The precandidato Barcelona launched his requirements to the directive of the Barça: "By all this, demand to the Managerial Board that: 1. It explain of way totally transparent the economic situation and the total debt of the club and in what measured this debt limits the plan of action in the short term. 2. It delay the taking of all those structural decisions that are not indispensable, since we do not know for sure which will be the impact of the coronavirus in the life and the economy of the Club. It is vital to postpone the decision on the Espai Barça until the new Managerial Board was elected. 3. It offer the maximum prudence and transparency to the hour to make operations (investments and sales) with players". "Yes to the futur engages to exert a strict and permanent control of the fulfillment of these requests", added.

Finally, it admitted the need of a change. "The administration of the Club needs a transformation in the dispatches that was so brave, creative, innovative and successful like which Johan Cruyff did in the lawn. And this transformation is possible, because the power of the Barça is enormous. But, to achieve it, need to agglutinate to the best available talent between the barcelonistas and the direct implication of the sportsmen that have starred the best Barça of the history. Yes to the futur offers an honest project, opened to the participation of partners and partners and engaged with the society and the country. A project that give us back the confidence to know us very represented by the government of the Entity and do us feel the satisfaction by the game, the happiness by the victories and the pride to belong to the best club of the world", finalised.
