Takes a special kind of moron to take Barca from where they were to where they are now
I think you’d struggle to do worse if you actually wanted to make them shite
No question and for some fans, like myself, we saw the writing on the wall even before Rosell & Bartomeu ran for election in 2010 (They were destabilizing on the periphery). But it's true, they couldn't have done worse if they were working explicitly for RM
Also of note, Bartomeu was once an Asspanyol soci and athlete at their club - not to suggest he set out to undermine the club but more that his outlook/philosophy was never in line with the ethos of Barca. At the very least, he is not a Cruyffist and him & Rosell took every opportunity to undo everything Laporta accomplished during his tenure
They are corporate clowns and were simply playing a financial shell game to line their own pockets - no sporting philosophy or interest in the club's future
