Here's a live thread translating Laporta's recent press conference about Barca's current financial and structural situation. It is some very interesting but grim reading.
 
You can't see the possibly?
Even that is a stretch.

I can't say this enough, there are clubs in Spain that are far more "fascist" than Real Madrid, historically and most definitely in recent years and currently.

And as I said earlier, there's one from England which certainly are, who have been as long as I can remember and who have fucked with us (among others) who only merit a "Come here to laugh at..."
 
None of those things are true though.
There's enough meat on the bones to suggest that fascists supported Franco's Club when Franco was in power (obviously many other clubs too). But the Di Stéfano signing also lends to a somewhat dodgy interference by Franco in getting him to sign for RM instead of Barca (a club I also hate with a growing passion).

I know there is a lot of trash-talking and rumour after rumour and twisting of narratives over the last 70-odd years or whatever it is.

Whataboutery, they can have their own fascists threads too.
 
My guess is that naming your rather impressive home stadium for a man who fought for the Nationalists under Franco during the Civil War doesn’t help you in this regard.

Naming stadiums for fascist sympathizers tends to suggest your own sympathies might lie in the same direction.
Half of Spain fought for the nationalists. The evidence suggests that Santiago Bernabéu was far from being a committed fascist.

You really are a bit het up over a playful put down of a team that isn't supposed to be yours. Why? It's oddly humour less even for you. Can we agree on Santiago being a part time (less than committed fascist? ) If nothing else.

That may be the case but Bernabéu spoke about ‘the reconquest of Catalonia’ (through his football team) and said ‘I like Catalonia very much except for Catalan people.’ He wasn’t just talking about Barcelona fans.

Quacking like a duck encourages people to think you’re a duck.
This.

Got too greedy and cocky. Paid way over the odds for coutinho and dembele. Then covid hit and bow they're screwed. Curious why they are demolishing their stadium and 1 billion in debt. Unless their govt will bail them out.
