Why do Barcelona get away with everything without punishment

[Mase]

They have had a really shit champions league. That's what you get when you think Eric Garcia is a good defender.

This made me laugh. He was really fucking useless wasn’t be? Another year of that and I’d have been calling Pep baldie

What made it worse is that he was given an opportunity that most of our youngsters aren’t, and he was still played and pushed in the first team even when it was clear he was shit and didn’t want to be here.

It cost us big time in the CL playing that cunt .

*Nepotism at its best *

I’m sure he played in a Cup game and fucked us too. The guy was turd. But Pep kept playing him because he’s Spanish.

Ermmm why do we care, in fact why do we have a thread for those tosspots?

It is pleasurable to read of their misfortunes - they are of interest generally as well given our numerous connections.

Ermmm why do we care, in fact why do we have a thread for those tosspots?

I think the fact that it's highly feasible that one of the biggest clubs in the world could go out of business is worthy of discussion. I think there were similar threads about Parma and Rangers in the past, and they are of nowhere near the stature of Barca. Plus, we had no financial interest in either of them, but Barca owe us something in the region of £40 million - a not inconsiderable sum if they were to fail to pay it.

I'd pay 40m to watch them sink

I may be talking bx here, but I think UEFA will compensate transfer debts when a club goes under. I think I remember some instance in the past

Noway will rhat be allowed to happen with Farca. Make no mistske the super league in another guise is on the way. Farca Atleti Juve all voted for it and all failed to get out of their groups. Cannot sustain these loses that they have made wirhout something changing

[johnny crossan]

No way will that be allowed to happen with Farca. Make no mistake the super league in another guise is on the way. Farca, Atleti ,Juve all voted for it and all failed to get out of their groups. Cannot sustain these loses that they have made wiyhout something changing

could be 7 out of the 12 Super League group missing out on the CL knockout revenues.

Indeed. I wasn't counting any of the others who are floundering in the Thursday night trophies. There is more trouble ahead espicially as Newcastle will be in the mix in the PL. Watch rhe PL old guard badger Uefa for an extra chumps league spot(s) soon - if they havent already

There was a lot of hype, yes. But it just proves that if you have money, you can get results. How to get that money back is another question... And it also proves that football is a business on sport, on the fans.

FFP PROTECTS FOOTBALL'S ELITE - JUST ASK BARCELONA!
Barcelona are the latest club to be linked with Newcastle's excellent Bruno Guimaraes, having missed out on Bernardo Silva at Manchester City.
It's another reminder of how financial fair play works. Newcastle have the money, but aren't allowed to spend it, but Barcelona are teetering on the brink of financial oblivion, yet are free to use their financial levers - translation: mortgaging the future, against the dubious guarantee of success - to pillage clubs the world over.
When commentators like Simon Jordan simplistically claim that FFP was brought in to prevent another Leeds or Portsmouth occurring, he is wrong. What Barcelona are doing is very close to what got Leeds into trouble, whereas Newcastle's owners can underwrite their investment safely.
FFP was always a ruse to protect the established elite, not financial propriety.
