Barcelona are wrecking the future finances of their club with the objective of fucking over Chelsea this season?

Truly amazing.

Selling off their TV money to keep their credit line going.

That club genuinely deserves bankruptcy.

Bit harsh. For 15 years they donated one of their most profitable revenue streams to charity and lost out on hundreds of millions because of it whilst their bitter rivals maximised it. Now because of covid and what not, when things are down they are seeing zero compassion and sympathy for it.

Certainly it has shown corporations that you'd be mad to do this again. Better to do what we do and start up a little foundation and drip feed some funds into it.

Sympathy for what?

Nobody forced them to have the insanity that is their wage structure. But let’s pretend for a minute that it was beyond their control and they’re now stuck in this “unfortunate” situation, common sense would try to right this ship by restructuring their entire business at the cost of not competing for the league title or champions league. They’re still a massive club, and still have way more advantages than 99% of all the other clubs in the same league, it really wouldn’t be more than a few years.

Now Barca decided to do none of that, and instead decided to sell their future to continue the same behaviour that got them in this mess.

Furthermore them donating that revenue stream to charity also isn’t what got them into this mess to begin with.

So no I don’t think they deserve a lot of sympathy.

Aren’t they also properly in bed with Qatar?
 
There's no aluminium in US vaccines, numpty.

:contefacepalm2:

Wasn’t talking COVID, talking general vaccination programme.

You claiming there is no Aluminium Hydroxide in a host of these, as the active adjuvant, after people got too prickly over Mercury being, you know, highly neurotoxic, they replace it with a compound which is worse!

COVID details I will not get into, my back is turned to all this generally, was always just a personal choice we’d made, lately though, promotion, training, denied even though had valid exemption, tough pills not to swallow…

Covid wasn't really the issue, just spend it up, it was paying more then they could afford to keep their stars.

This is a bad thing about being fan run, presidents promise the earth to stay in charge. They went the S American route of fan ownership rather than German.

Laughable that anyone could have any sympathy for them
