Madridistas All Over Copa And Euros Collide While Colombians Dominate - The Other Teams Thread

Fun development in the Negreira case.

Apparently his wife received deposits of €3M between the time from of his "relationship" with barca (1992-2023).

That information was released after the final report had been presented to the judge presiding over the case that there was no proof.... I repeat ZERO evidence of any refereeing advice, reports or videos which Negreira provided barca for the services which they paid him €7.5M while he was the Vice President of the Techincal Referee Commitee.


This is hilarious

The most ironic part of this all is that people will somehow defend this and say there isn't proof or try to rationalize the obvious; barca bought officiating favors for almost 3 decades.

The hypocrisy the media and fans bury their heads into a hole on this matter bur are vocal and stand up on other matters is also a nice hypocritical joke.

 

❗️Breaking: The Civil Guard has concluded that Barça paid Negreira for ghost reports and have also discovered €3m in his wife's accounts.

According to 4x4, there is no “there” there.

 

The fact Madrid and other LL teams are not too vocal about this scandal makes me think there's not much to it.

 

I think it’s more about the optics of legitimacy as a league. The Juve scandal was a huge blow for Serie A. At the risk of damaging the league, the protests would go nowhere as Barca is ultimately protected and the golden goose by the FA.

 

Yes, Barca and Negreira keep lots of evidence around as proof for blackmailing purposes. I'm sure the referees kept solid notes and recordings of games they manipulated so that Barca can he caught redhanded. 3 million for services NOT rendered is just Barca's way of showing generosity.

I find it interesting that you defend this Negriera-gate stuff harder than culers defend this.

 

Then either Barca paid for the fear of dirt existing and then were happily surprised, or Negreira really knew what he was doing and did a great job keeping everything off channel. There are so many mediums to do shady business, they were just better at covering up this ordeal. Not every mobster is an idiot who leaves a papertrail in plainsight. You know better than this bro.

 

I don't think 4x4 "defends" Barcelona. He is just waiting for solid evidence to emerge. I am 99% CONVINCED there's something there that affected decisions on the pitch. At the same time, I know nothing will happen unless there's irrefutable proof.

Barcelona is the hip club that wants an independent Catalonia, its shirt has Unicef on it, and its women's team always wins the CL, so you won't see the media (except for Madrid's media) go too hard on it.

It's frustrating. That's why I hope solid evidence of manipulation emerges because I am almost 100% sure there's something. Even then, I don't think they will be punished.

Costa in 2013-14 and Suarez in 2020-21 were huge difference makers for Atlético. Simeone hasn't had a reliable striker for majority of his Atlético tenure. Alvarez could do well there as a regular starter.

 

Anyone who seriously thinks that the stumblebums Rosell, Bartomeu, and Laporta could mastermind, like ANYthing has got to be joking. Like Jerry Reinsdorf/Jordan, those three would be abject failures, absent the arrival of a 13 year old Argentine back in 2000.

Those imbeciles could fvkc up pa amb tomaquet.

 

Excellent deal for all sides, City gets 4 times than what they paid for him, AM gets an Excellent striker and Alvarez going to be a starter.

 

It's gonna be a tough championship. Of course, we is Madrid and the title should always be handed to us and playing 38 rounds is useless because we are the best, but Barcelona and Atletico look stronger than last season. Not sure if Girona can repeat what they did this season. They seem to be having a slow transfer window so far.

 

On Negreida thing.....
You are a Mayor, PM or similar and have been found to have received payments from a subject you rule over, yet some think there is nothing wrong with that.
Smh

 

I agree about Atletico, but how Barca is better than last season?
