Thanks for @mymy33 for pointing out jose80extreme comment. LOLZ Wouldn't be surprised if there was a "Keep midget happy" clause somewhere. Explains all the excessive Messi nut licking after he joined.
Real Madrid once again tops a list of the richest clubs in the world. Here are the rankings: 1. Real Madrid 2. Farce-A-lona 3. Bayern Munchkins 4. Manchester "Don't transfer here" United 5. Paris Saint Germain 6. Manchester Shity 7. Chelsea 8. Arsenal 9. Juventus 10. AC Milan 11. Borussia Dortmund 12. Luis Suarez http://edition.cnn.com/2014/01/22/sport/football/football-money-manchester-united-real/ It's kinda cool that 3 of the top 8 on the slides featured people related to Real Madrid.
Apparently AS is reporting that Bartomeu will remain president of Barcelona until 2016, and not call elections at the end of this season.
AS English @English_AS Barça member Cases, who brought the Neymar lawsuit, is going to extend the action to Bartomeu, his lawyer said before Rosell’s resignation. seems there is more to come
It would be nice if someone could explain the impact socios have on the clubs in Spain, even if you take barcelona out of it its interesting to think that someone can bring this much accountability to these institutions.....
But things can linger on in a court room for some mysterious reasons. I am not expecting a quick verdict on it. Although less time can be more enjoyable
Mmph, this Cases guy seems to have Laporta backing him, or at least whispering in his ear while he sleeps. As is always the case in Spain.
Lol, Mymy could be right. Is someone backing this dude and wanting to take the president title or something?
This dude apparently has said that when he first started his inquiry all he wanted was a response, an acknowledgement of his concern of the lack of transparency of the deal. He said even if they gave him some bullshit answer he would have thought they were lying but he would've moved on. But Barca being "more than a Club" didn't respond so this guy says now he's going balls to the wall and won't stop until the truth is exposed.
Maybe. Laporta had a no confidence motion against him in 2008 initiated by Rosell? So probably payback time. Anyways, he deserves it. I hope he gets jail term for corruption in Brazil.
Lewandowski sued for hitting a 17 year old fan for showing him the middle finger. The 17 year old claims that he saw Lewandowski driving by in his Porsche, and he showed him the middle finger out of frustration because of him joining Bayern. Now that's where it gets tricky: The guy and his friends (one of the took a picture of the player getting back into his car), claim that Lewandowski was fuming and hit him on the head and got back inside his car. Dortmund, and the player claim that, yes he did get off the car, but he only touched the guy on his shoulder and asked him, in a friendly way, why he would do something like this. The truth is, at the point where Lewandowski got off the car, he already f*cked up because it shows intent. A driver rarely stops his car and gets off to ask a friendly question. I see this getting settled out of court (€€€).
Apparently Lewandowski got off the car to show him some of that "Echte Liebe". Lewandowski said the young guy showing him the middle finger "invaded his privacy". On a public road. Him inside of a car and the guy on the sidewalk. Man, Munich better watch out, when Lewandowski goes shopping, you're automatically invading his privacy just by being in the same store as he is, or even parking 5 spaces away from him! Waiting on Neymar to send him a tweet: "Sounds like a wonderful day for you Sir!"
Diego Costa is terrible. I have no idea how fans of other clubs can desire to have a guy like that on their team. Really horrible. Makes Suarez look like he deserves the fairplay award. Should have definitely been sent off tonight. Ramos usually gets a red just for looking at the fouls Diego Costa committed tonight. Once Dieco Costa leaves the "they're so poor and helpless" environment that Atleti are enjoying at the moment, he'll falter under the public protests and humiliation again him.
