STILL LYING. AND STILL TAKING US FOR IDIOTS

A few days ago, when I made the previous post, I dind't think about making a sequel. In fact, I overlooked to mention the "journalists" because I thought that  they did not deserve a half line. I still think the same, but the degree of cynicism and servitude that I detect (and I 'm not the only one), is so outrageous that maybe they do deserve something more than good night and have fun .

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots. They have lied, by action or omission, when they do not explain everything that happens. If you do not know, do not say anything, but do not throw the stone and hide the hand. Because the first thing they do with this is to degrade and denigrate their work. Their first job is to report and then give opinions, if that is the case. But there are a lotr that just give opinions, withou giving any information. And, this is not right .

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots (by action), when they want us to believe that we play as always, and, if not, it is because they had to do a transition that the "Demon" in Munich didn't do. And I wonder: Was it raised to the Board? Did they let him to do that? If you know, say so, but do not say things by halves. Are you sure everything will be fixed when Messi is back again ?

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots  (by omission), when there is no a half line of concern about the actual cost of the signing of Neymar  The clauses do not care. The money difference between what the Clubs says and what is said in Brazil do not care. What kind of " journalism " is not investigating this? Was the issue of Neymar's Foundation in the deal? We know nothing. Thank you.

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots (by action) when now is dangerous that you have children without ticket into the Stadium. A few months ago, were all congratulations at the match against Getafe . Now, they say this is dangerous. Because there is a Regulation. Regulation that existed that day. Not new two months ago.

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots ( by omission), if they say nothing about "Viagogos" and the established parallel resellers. Is this not important for the "share-holder" that they defend with such spirit? That we don't have to know where it goes all that money?

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots (by omissions), for not to report about the agreements on advertising on the shirt and the stadium. The Board said that it explained at the time the General Assembly. May be they weren't there that day , because we read/watched/ heard very little about it, if anything.

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots (by action and omission), when they talk about potential signings and players leaving. From the famous cover of Valdés, they have signed a handful of goalies, some of them for the simple fact that they played well against Barca. Now, it seems to be one determined to come. What is the reason behind? To be their friend? Or someone tells them to do advertising for all we believe is the ideal? (And I do not get into any assessment of him. It is not the case) Why no articles calling minutes for the youth players of the squad? Or, to say that they do not deserve it, if that's the case? Why are there so few reviews about the campaign of Barça B?

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots (by action and omission), when they talk about building a new stadium. How you can let out one of these saying that "if San Mamés was demolished, you can also do it with the Camp Nou "? What argument is that? Is it time to defend a new stadium because the Board says it? Investigative journalism.

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots (by action and omission) , when they say that nothing happens with Messi. Nobody has missed the rise of Juanjo Brau. Paulorrosso is in Argentina and nobody asks why. Is not he the responsible for the physical preparation of the team? Why is he leaving? Is it true that Messi is upset because Neymar gets more money than him? Is it true that he does not want to leave, but with everything that happens is he in doubt ?

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots (by omission) when they blame the LFP schedules. Clubs (their Boards) have sold their rights and have failed to negotiate this issue. Look at England, Italy or Germany. They get more money and have better schedules. But no, the fault is not theirs. Like the "FIFA virus" . The Clubs are the ones who decide in each Federation and these Associations that decide on FIFA. If 150 Federations choose to say the same thing  (whatever), and make it public, I shall count and what will come out when the song takes FIFA.

They are still lying and, also they are still taking us for idiots ( by action, by omission, and all together), because they have to explain what is happening and not what the Board says. We, the share-holders, are Club's owners and we deserve respect from their part, because we are (everyday less, and there must be a reason ), consumers of their product. If the Board does well, they must say it; if wrong, too. Not to silence the wrong things, because, in the end, we end knowing everything .

Do not continue lying. And do not continue thinking we're idiots .

THEY ARE LIYING. AND THEY TAKE US FOR IDIOTS

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.
