A member of "Karamat al-Blograna": Barcelona's future is at risk with Laporta's management
Ricard Fawra warns that Joan Laporta's continued presidency at FC Barcelona could jeopardize the club's identity.
Ricard Fawra, a member of the platform "Karamat al-Blograna", has issued a warning regarding the future of FC Barcelona under the leadership of Joan Laporta. He argues that the current management model is incompatible with the club’s traditions and could lead to significant changes that deviate from the path the fans have supported for decades. Fawra emphasizes the necessity for a complete overhaul of the current approach to prevent further alienation of club members and supporters from daily involvement.
In his interview, Fawra, who is one of the longest-serving members of the club, highlighted numerous issues, including the changes in seating arrangements for members and difficulties in renewing annual memberships. His criticisms extend to the management's failure to capitalize on Barcelona's global digital audience, which he believes represents untapped potential for producing exclusive content and organizing virtual events. Without a clear strategy in place, he warns that the club is missing out on substantial opportunities to engage its fans worldwide.
Fawra concludes with a stern warning that if the current situation persists, it could jeopardize not only the future and ownership of FC Barcelona but also threaten the very identity of the club as understood by its passionate supporters. With Barcelona topping the La Liga standings as of last week, this internal conflict may pose both a short-term and long-term risk to the club's legacy and community engagement.
