They are lying and, also, they take
us for idiots. Between what they say and what goes in newspapers, television,
etc. it seems that the redemption of our sins is getting closer. And, it's not
true.
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, when we are led to believe that the way of playing that made the team by the now "demonized" was boring. 14 out of 19 with unanimity around the world, from China to the United States and from Finland to South Africa is boring? The same "Demon" that has made Jurgen Klopp, the latest victim, to say that he does not want to coach the best team. He says he now coaches to beat the best team.
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, when we say that the way of playing is not important. What matters are the titles. It has nothing to do one thing with the other. We always want to win. Always. But we always want them to play well. And of course, we all accept that you can play poorly and win someday. It is clear. Perfection does not exist. Now, get closed in the back playing at Nou Camp against a Granada with 10 players to go on the counter ... What can I say.
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, when there are 40M€ (about 6,600M pesetas, to get an idea ), for the signing of Neymar that nobody knows where they are. Confidentiality clauses, they tell us. Commissions, they tell us. Everything is very clear. The problem is that in Brazil they say something different. Santos has gained 17.5 M€ and the club has paid 57.5 M€. 40M€ confidential?
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, when they say it's dangerous to have children without entry at Camp Nou. This has always happened. Now, it may be that the Holy Spirit has appeared and, therefore, there has never been any disgrace. It shall be unlawful, sure, because there is a law that says so. Illegal is not the same as dangerous.
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, when they say they do not know how to stop the "official" resale (not talking about the one on the street), of " Viagogos " and similar. How can it be that there are no tickets in the "Seient lliure" (Free seat system), and there are in these places ? How can it be that these people is selling tickets within not know how many games ? How can it be that a "Tribune seat" that costs 150€ or 180€ is sold for 1000€?
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, with all the mess of advertising on the shirt and the stadium. When did they said that there would be a private company on the shirt ? When did they say that the company logo would be put on the seats of the North Stand? When did they say that the mural gallery with all Club players would disappear to make way for advertising of the sponsor of the shirt?
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, when we say that everything is going well and that the Technical Secretariat is doing a great job . Why is Valdés leaving? Why is being so long the renewal of Iniesta? Why Bartra and Montoya are they thinking about it? Why Sergi Roberto wants to leave in January? Why Sanabria not want to renew? Why Muniesa left, or Thiago? Will Deulofeu return? Why the signing of so "old" players for the "B" team, when it should be used to promote youngsters?
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, when they talk about building a new stadium. One of the officials goes saying to media that there are no specific studies, but that a new venue would generate 30-40% more revenue than the current one. How do you know if you have not made any study (this is what the same official said)? Why is not good now the " Foster" project (which, if I remember correctly, was ordered when when Rosell was Vice President)? Didn't they have seen Stadiums in Europe? Allianz, Dragao, Alvalade XXI, Galatasaray, etc. All of them, with structures very similar to the Camp Nou. Both inside and outside. Why is it so important ? Who's going put the name? One thing is clear: if a stadium can cost 1000M€ and it's free for the members ("socis"), there is something else.
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, when they say that nothing happens with Messi. In summer there were 2% of people who were dissatisfied with the Argentine star. Now, it's a rare day that there is something that praises Neymar (which is fine, do not confuse things), but at the expense of Messi. That if the "megaoffer" of Adidas, that if Juanjo Brau, if this, if that. They have to explain what is, if anything, and if there is nothing, they have also to say , because he is a player of the Club. And the best in the world.
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, when we say that these are the timetable for the matches and nothing else can be done. What if the Chinese, Japanese or American market. They deserve all the respect in the world. The ones that go to the stadium are much closer and also deserve respect. Rain, cold or heat, rain or snow trips, morning or late at night. And we are the ones that went to Basel, Seville, Wembley, etc. by bus, car, plane, losing hours of study and work. Or to Geneva or Paris to attend the basketball "Final -Four". To return with the tail between the legs, but thinking to be back next year.
They are lying and, also, they take us for idiots, because the owners of the Club are we, the partners ("socis"). Those on the Board is because they have been chosen for that. They haven't bought anything . And as much they think and they believe it, they can't buy are "shares". We have no shares. Barçaa is not a Corporation. As much as we are anonymous and we aren't in newspapers or television.
Stop lying. And stop thinking we're idiots.
