There is still more than a month left for the
FC Barcelona
elections
and it seems that they are going to warm up little by little.
This Wednesday, through Catalunya Ràdio, a very harsh
letter was sent by the Chairman of the Manager, Carles Tusquets, to the candidate Joan Laporta, for his continuous pressure,
especially when it came to
preventing
the Manager from taking carried out
the signing of Manchester City center-back, Eric García.
"I beg you
to refrain from threatening this Management Commission
in the search for decisions that you consider may be convenient for you under the guise of being necessary for the club," begins the Tusquets letter.
The president of the Manager responds to another letter, sent on January 22 by Laporta, in which the candidate urged him to adhere strictly to the administrative and ordinary functions of the club,
“I want to remind you that a negligent, obstructionist and malicious attitude, being Chairman of the Manager, we would hold him directly responsible for the club's financial situation ”.
This open controversy revolves around the convenience of signing Eric García in the winter market or not.
Tusquets, Koeman and Font are openly in favor, while Freixa remains neutral and Laporta flatly refuses.
However, the Chairman of the Management Company did not like the threatening tone of the letter sent by Laporta and has made it known to him with an answer as clear as it is forceful: "If we finally do not sign the contract,
it will not be because of their unfair and inconsiderate threats, but rather as a sign of responsibility and elegance,
allowing the elected president to make the pertinent decision (…) who this subscribes (Tusquets) considers that, thinking strictly in football terms,
the most successful thing would have been to sign this player ”.
Tusquets ends his epistle by sending a harsh message to Laporta: "He
would have to put the interests of FC Barcelona before his electoral interests."
