THREAD of Victor Font's recent interview ⬇️
🗣️@victor_font: "I've read some headlines that have put words in my mouth. Some suggesting that even if Koeman won the treble next season he wouldn't be my coach. That sentence needs some context."

🗣️@victor_font: "We believe in a 10-year project at the club and it isn't built around just one name. The manager at Barça is a very important figure, yes, but that's only one piece in a much more complete and complex structure."
🗣️ @victor_font: "For us to have the most success in those next 10 years, we need to implement a project from the vice president down to the U11 side. A solid structure."
What do you think about the decision of appointing Koeman?
🗣️ @victor_font: "Changing manager doesn't solve the sporting, institutional and economic crisis at FC Barça. It's an escape route for Bartomeu and his board. It's absolutely vital we wipe the slate clean & start again."

"We are talking about a Barça legend..."
🗣️ @victor_font: "It's true, he is & we have to thank Ronald that, even in a situation like ours, he was willing to take on the responsibility. I wish him the best. He's got personality & came from the Dream Team, so learnt from Cruyff."

🗣️ @victor_font: "Our vice president would be a former player with ample experience. #SialFutur is the result of seven years of work. It isn't something which was just thrown together six months before the elections."
🗣️ @victor_font: "We have 20 directors, a CEO and a very hard working and ambitious team across all areas. We have a very well designed project."
So this means you don't have a place for new technical secretary Ramon Planes?
🗣️ @victor_font: "Let's have a look. How is it possible that Koeman has to work with Ramon Planes? He's one of the people responsible for the erratic transfer decisions made over the last few years."

🗣️ @victor_font: "A professional should report to the vice president, who is the current president Bartomeu. That means the same people who caused this crisis are still making the decisions. Honestly, it doesn't make any sense. It's nonsense."
Are you worried that Leo Messi could decide to leave Barça?
🗣️ @victor_font: "I believe there's a risk and it gives me nightmares. Messi is vital to this club, the most important player in its entire history and it'll only grow after he retires."

🗣️ @victor_font: "The relationship between Messi and Barça must continue after he's hung up his boots. He should be the image of this club and its growth throughout the world."
