Bartomeu defends his work and makes clear that it was "serious and responsible"

Josep Maria Bartomeu spoke with 'Sportive World' in an extensive interview in which it defended his work and the one of his Managerial Board at the head of the FC Barcelona. "Our management has been very serious and responsible, begins in 2010 when we arrive with Sandro Rosell. It says it LaLiga, the UEFA and the auditors. With 180 million profits, and with Forbes valuing us as the most valuable club of the world, has been rigorous with a project and a strategic plan that fixed especially in 2015. It prevailed the sportive management and all the project patrimonial, economic, social...", it began the ex president.

After these surprising statements, the ex mandator barcelonista continued his defence to his work and left clear that is not true that have left a bad inheritance. "There is not bad management, there is not bad inheritance. It would be necessary to explain to the partners that the in the last years the locomotive of the European and world-wide football have been the big clubs. The FC Barcelona is one of these locomotives that has done that the club grow. The recognition in 2020 that the Barça has been the most important club by in front of all the other is a recognition to this good management, to this good inheritance that the current board has to take and has to do it grow", commented.

The ex president wanted to clear that if the Barça is economically as it is is by the pandemia and no by his management. "The figures so tremendistas are the audited, but have an enormous impact by the pandemia. It is impossible to control and has affected to the big European clubs. The difference with them is that his shareholders have reequilibrado the club with increases of capital or contributing loans of his shareholders. The pandemia has had an impact tremendo in the accounts of the club. If no, we would speak of bad management, but until 14 March 2020 has been flawless, as it said LaLiga and the auditors. With the Covid, changed the photography", indicated.

On the other hand, it explained why under his point of view the wages of the players of the Barcelona are the suitable for the moment in which they signed . "It is not that it increased the mass salarial, but it followed the parameters of the income of the club. We were the first that arrive to 1.000. If ingresas more, the players have upper income. Until March of 2020 was asumible, but from the decrease of income is unsustainable. We leave clear that in the last years have gone to the limit of the parameters of LaLiga and the UEFA trying have the best possible team and that the players had an increase of income because they also participate of this with his titles and the game", stood out.

To the thread of the mass salarial of the Barça, that is causing a lot of quebraderos of head to the Board of Joan Laporta, insisted in that until the pandemia all was asumible by or that went the club. "Until March of 2020 could allow us the quantities that had pactado. They are agreements very high, important, because we are the most valuable club of the world. It does some months, Forbes said it like this for the first time in 122 years of history. That in 2020, in year of pandemia, that are the number one of the world, contrasts with the message of bad management", aimed.

Bartomeu cleared that the Barça never was in danger real

Finally, it wanted to leave very clear that the Barcelona never has been near to dissolve , as it signalled Ferran Reverter. "It is very well like alarmist message. The Barça is a sportive club. And besides in the case of the pandemia, the Royal decree says that the losses by Covid never will be losses that allow to arrive to the dissolution of the club, that has active of players, patrimoniales, digital and have a value in low balance but high to level of market. Therefore it is impossible that was in risk of dissolution", concluded.
