Open letter of Joan Laporta to the barcelonismo

"Three years after the partners and partners of the FC Barcelona gave us his confidence in the urns, the Managerial Board that have the honour to chair is very proud of the work made. Definitely, the Barça goes by the good way, the institution is strong, the Club is very organised and can affirm that, with talent, courage, audacity and professionalism, has enderezado and recovered the Club. But at all it has been fruit of the chance, but the sum of a lot of efforts employed to follow a strategic plan detailed and reviewed weekly by the managers of several departments that conform a solvent organisation and engaged with the Club. I take advantage of these lines to appreciate to the plantel of workers and workers of the Club the talent and barcelonismo that put to disposal of the Club day after day. Without them, the "miracle" to save to the entity of the shipwreck would not have been possible.

To value in his just measure the efforts and the attainments achieved in the last three years suits to remember the situation that find us in March of 2021, when we were chosen by the partners and partners: the own bottoms of the Club were negative and the astronomical debt, with a big component in the short term. Besides, it existed a clear undervaluation of the project of the Espai Barça; an incumplimiento of commitments with sportive and financial entities and a fault of gobernanza and internal control. With these figures, a private company had gone in in process of technical failure. But we do not crease us in front of such threat and take brave decisions with two premises irrenunciables: that the cost of the economic recovery was not assumed by the partners and partners and that any decision did not put in risk the model of property of the Club.

The growth of the Barça in the last three years is an objective reality after settling economically the Club with a clear improvement of the income, a reduction of the mass salarial sportive, that has happened to represent 98% in relation with the total of income in the season 20-21 to 57% in the current season, figure more than sustainable since we are in the low zone of the percentage recommended by UEFA. To his time has increased exponencialmente the value of the staff of the first team, an essential data to understand the economic balance-sportive of a club of football, with a firm bet by the young talent worked in the Masia, that is the base of the sportive project and the best guarantee to ensure the sportive and economic sustainability of the Barça in the next years.

Also it has recobrado the institutional pulse thanks to the consolidation and enlargement of a series of strategic alliances that confirm the fortress and attraction that generates the Barça in all the fields. Every time they are more the partners and investors of all the world that want to associate with the Barça and, the most important, respecting always our identity like open Catalan club to the world, with some values irrenunciables tied to the democracy, to the freedom, to our tongue and our culture, that is to say, to our foundational essences and to our model of property, that the Managerial Board defends to ultranza because we think that the singularity that awards the model asociativo current endows us of more economic fortress, social and institutional that any another model.

The challenges in front of the next years, established in the thorough strategic plan, assent in the acceleration of the business of the Club to culminate the economic recovery and the consolidation in the first sportive world-wide line. To less than ten months to celebrate the 125 years of history, our purpose is not another that continue being the best club multideportivo of the world. In front of the new paradigms of the industry of the football, with new and powerful competitors in the economic, direct us to a change of the model of business of the hand of the digital transformation of the entity like key element to ensure the economic and financial sustainability.

The central project of our mandate is the Espai Barça, with the new Spotify Camp Nou at the front, an indispensable project to keep to the FC Barcelona in the leadership of the world-wide football and erigirse in one of the pillars of the economic feasibility of the Club. We speak of a new stadium to follow winning, in the sportive and in the economic. It will be the best stadium of the world, the dream culminated of all the barcelonismo.

The Barça is an irreducible feeling, invincible. I ask you that we keep us more joined that never in the defence of our shield, of our values, of our teams. It fits to remember that in the season in course still have a lot of aims for fulfilling in the sportive. The Barça is the current champion of the 6 leagues in which they compete our 6 professional teams (masculine and feminine football, basketball, handball, hockey and five-a-side football), an unprecedented attainment in the history of the Club. If the players see that we do not surrender never, they neither will do it. Here we struggle to the end. We can win or we can lose, it forms part of the sport, but never launch the towel because win form splits of our competitive essences.

The sportive recovery, economic and institutional of the FC Barcelona is attaining because we have kept us more joined that never in front of those who want to prejudice us. And this is the key to project us more and better in the future: be more and be stronger. The Barça only has us to us, to the barcelonistas. And we have to close rows, more joined that never, because we do not have neither want to have to powerful States behind neither millionaires that want to control the Club. Our strength awards it to us our identity, our history and our model of property".
