Font refuted the accounts: “They don’t know how to manage, they are cheating us”

Four days before the meeting of the delegates of FC Barcelona which must approve, among other issues, the closing of the 2023-2024 financial year and the budget for the 2024-2025 season, the leader of the opposition group ‘Yes to the future’ criticized the accounts developed by the president’s board Joan Laporta, talking about fictitious numbers.

The businessman of Granollers explained the fact of this based on the numbers provided by the club. The first thing he commented on is that we continue to see the same tics as in the last term. We don’t know how to manage the club. They are deceiving us. The story they’re selling us is wrong,” he commented at the beginning.

Victor Font which has demanded greater transparency in some of the economic actions such as Aramark, has assured that “we have spent 1,041 more than we spend, accumulated losses of 1,041 million. We spend more than we earn,” he stressed.

He has admitted that “in what we spend there is inheritance, yes, but the management of this board of directors has an important part.” And then he detailed the accounts. “The income was like in 2018-2019, when the football industry grew, we were at the bottom.” And he asked himself: “How do we get ends?” We pull the credit card. 1,150 million before Espai Barça, 152 more, Espai Barça apart. The total debt is 2,484 million in doubt, 577 in the short term and 725 million in the long term, including 1,182 Espai Barça”

And what does the club do? He studies it. “Selling assets to plug this hole.” And he launched one of his first conclusions. “This board is also mortgaging the future.” “Barça Studios is just fiction. And the auditor said, We don’t believe in this 408 million.” He also asked President Joan Laporta for an exercise in transparency.
