Tarnished Reputation

[nickyb]

Once upon a time Barcelona stood for everything good about football.

Community/fan owned club
Democratically elected CEO and board of director
Unicef on shirt
No sponsorship
Totally squeaky clean

and now

Directors resigning in disgrace over club tax fraud
Dodgy transfer dealings - Neymar
Transfer ban for 18 months, or so I thought!!
Sponsored by a Dictatorship

and worse still

Wanting to sign Suarez.
He has apologised for his 3rd bite, that's ok then!!!

NO it is not ok, they deserve each other.

Sorry about that...feel better though

All fair points raised Nicky,
Imho both Liverpool & The Premier League will be better off IF he is transferred. Such a talent but sadly unlike some of the past great players, HE can not control his emotions. Eg, Sir Stan, Pele, many more I could name would never have stooped so low. I honestly believe it never entered their mind.
They played football the way it was intended. Suarez & whoever can do one.

Cads a scoundrels in comparison.

Yep, a team supposed to be banned from transfers for 18 months, signing a player who's supposed to be banned from football for 4 months.

Nothing dodgy there.

 

[jowlermonkey]

How has this come about an 18 month loan deal?

Barcelona innit

Barca appealed against the ban, by the sounds of it they know they'll fail, but it gives them time to get set for when the ban actually starts. They're pretty much laughing in everyone's faces.
