When the members voted in the 2014 Espai Barça referendum, the board of the fugitive Sandro Rosell and the new president Josep Maria Bartomeu had reduced the cost of the work so as not to put approval at risk. Even then, 600 million euros was an unrealistic figure and there were voices expressing this to the club’s leaders, who pretended to be Swedes. Seven years had passed since the presentation of Joan Laporta’s proposal with architect Norman Foster, a model that welcomed cobwebs, and time would continue to pile on the structure of the ruined coliseum. Summing up so many years of lies, inaction, suspicious invoices and an alleged bribe that would end in a forensic forgotten in a drawer of the Prosecutor’s Office, it is a very graphic exercise when we think that we are where we are well into 2023 and the hottest thing is in the sink.
Things in life, Laporta had reneged on the funding provided by Goldman Sachs with the same vehemence that, once elected president, he used to defend it to get the approval of 405 trustees. Now, with 1,450 million euros guaranteed to make it possible, a common denominator remains with the previous board that criticized so much: the Palau Blaugrana, officially considered in the project always as part of a whole, has never been interested to the gentlemen of the bank, who are the ones who really rule. It doesn’t matter which side Jordi is on. Whoever acts as interlocutor: it works regardless of whether you’re called Moix or Llauradó. What investors want is a good piece of cake from the delicious Camp Nou, but they are disgusted by the baskets that the most romantic defend as an identity feature of “More than a club”. Neither Bartomeu’s board made it clear, nor does the current one.
To avoid publicly admitting that there are red lines that are broken, they are all capable of real dialectical stunts. With the explanations we are now dealing with, not only is it proven that there is no game planned for the new Palau Blaugrana, but we have to accept that its construction may exceed the 200 million planned for contingencies and the 179 various financial costs. By the way, let us share the porrons to drink in galet. When you ask: “And what happens if there are contingencies?”, the answer is that there won’t be any. “Oh okay”. Meanwhile, negotiations are progressing so that the future Palau will be built and operated by an external company. Continuing to call it Espai Barça is a fallacy.
