‘Barca in danger of economic bankruptcy and moral decay’

Barcelona have come under an astonishing attack from a presidential candidate looking to take over the club after he claimed the LaLiga giants are heading towards ‘economic bankruptcy and moral decay’.

Victor Font is the leader of the Si al futur group seeking to take control of the Nou Camp boardroom.

Barca have gone from one crisis to another during the coronavirus pandemic and on Thursday hit a new low when six of Josep Bartomeu’s board resigned from their posts.

Two of the club’s four vice-presidents – Emili Rousaud and Enrique Tombas – as well as directors Silvio Elias, Josep Pont, Jordi Calsamiglia and Maria Texidor have all walked out.

Barca have also been accused of paying money to a social media company that then planted negative stories about club figures at odds with the board, an allegation denied by the club.

But that, along with the controversial sale of Neymar in 2017, were referenced in by Font in an open letter to Barca members and the media.

“For some time now the project Si al futur has been warning Barca members that the club was heading towards the “perfect storm”.
