After carefully listening to our president’s interview today, twice, please allow me to explain how incredibly mad/disappointed/sad I have been feeling. If you are part of his inner circle and defend anything he does and says, you can silence me, I don’t mind #FCBarcelona
After 11 years of rosellisme, almost my entire time as a Barça member, I have tough skin. But lately, the club for me is like a big hole in my chest. And no matter what I do, it seems I can't fix it. And I took another huge blow today when I heard ‘Barça is above everyone’ again
WHAT THE HELL does that mean? Is that a way of making some sorry excuse for not owning decisions made by THIS board? Yes, I am talking of Messi's departure, OF COURSE I'M TALKING ABOUT MESSI'S DEPARTURE #FCBarcelona
Despite of what some think, culers from abroad or who live far from BCN are not dumb. We already knew, prob even before than those blinded by Catalan media, that a financial breakdown was near. And many prob already had accepted losing #Messi was inevitable (I'm one of them)
But are you actually telling me that you tried to sign Neymar? In the same period you were dismissing #Messi with those sad, badly edited videos on social media (to your 400M audience, no less) were you trying to sign the player who actually started the RUIN of this Club?
of course it was not his fault, he just took advantage like the rest did over the years. And then you're telling me you were expecting, hoping, wishing, #Messi to play for free? Really? ARE YOU TELLING ME IT'S MESSI'S FAULT HE IS NOT HERE ANYMORE? #FCBarccelona
#Messi played a HUGE role in kicking Bartomeu out?. He exposed himself over and over, while his team mates were happy renewing their contracts at the same time we were trying to sack the old board. Were you expecting Piqué and the rest to play for free too?
I heard today about preserving Messi’s legacy but the club has done NOTHING to do that. Not even having the decency of replying a letter some send asking for a gesture. Even a 'thank you for your idea but we won't do anything right now' would be nice. But we didn't even got that
How about preserving #Messi’s legacy with actions? Here’s a quick list. First, take responsibility. Own it. It was this board’s decision. And it could be a very understandable decision. But it was a decision. Stop saying it was Messi’s. Second, pay tribute.
Those 400 mill culers (not fans, culers) Reverté is trusting the economic recovery of the club, arrived while Messi was delivering magic every 3 days. Our social media engagement grew with his goals and celebrations. But also watching him grow from a little boy to a father of 3
Those culers won’t leave. But you won’t get money from them if you don’t make amends. Pay tribute. Fast. And here, another thing that I am agry about. Curlers from afar are not fans. We are part of this community (even when some inner cicle members have told me I’m crazy)
So stop treating us the same way Bartomeu did. Or is fan a shor word for customer? Is that what we are for you @fcbarcelona? An answer in that regard would end many of my worries, really
For all I can see, you lot are doing to #Messi what Rosell did to Cruyff. And that’s what has been breaking my heart since August. And a culer with a broken heart won't be a customer, or a fan, or whatever fancy word you are using right now to call us.
As i've said before. We won't be great again communicating with fear, only acting with greatness. We don’t compete with anyone if we have our purpose clear. Our core differential value is our football style and our social outreach. We care about how we do things.
But a manager who openly blames young players for defeats, gets respect from this board. A respect your biggest player in history does not get. I don't know what that is, but it's the club I signed up as a member 15 years ago #FCBarcelona
Today I was asked if I am still a member. I am failing to find reasons to stay. I joined because this was already the biggest club in the world and had something unique. A greatness that I struggle to find today #FCBarcelona
But this club has a particular way of making people to stick around, even when it's painful. So, since I'm dumb enough, I will continue giving ideas and try to make it better. Even in times like these, when it seems we're playing catenaccio at all levels (except femení)
So i'll write something about how to reach those million culers in the upcomming days. Probably nobody would care but it's still fun to apply MODERN marketing to Barça even if nobody would listen, because they sure have all figured out and don't need any help
#FCBarcelona
When I'm mad I forgot other languages, so of course I missed a *not *there ☹️
For the record, I am convinced this board is doing what they can to protect and save the club. I think this complicated task will be easier if they'd just listened people outside their close circle
