On Wednesday, reports emerged that Barcelona are due to receive a €100m cash injection from Qatar. The payment will allow the club to register all of its players with LaLiga ahead of the new season.
Joan Laporta visited Qatar earlier this year, which is believed to be where this agreement was formed. It is not yet known whether this is a one-off, or whether it will be a rolling agreement between the two parties.
Following this news, quotes from Laporta back in 2015 have re-emerged. The 61-year-old criticised previous President Josep Maria Bartomeu’s decision to partner with Qatar when he spoke to FourFourTwo.
“They (Bartomeu) prefer Qatar, they prefer to sell practically most of our assets to Qatar because it’s not only the sponsorship of our shirt, under that contract, there are more assets. If you go to the club you’ll will see that Qatar is everywhere.”
Understandably, the situation does not sit right with some Barcelona supporters, although others are pleased that the club will be able to ease its financial burdens for at least a little while.

You talk like a small child. If you want to talk about garbage, is there any known league in Europe as useless as bundesliga? Apart from Bayern, in recent times which other club from bundesliga has gone anywhere in Europe? You're louding about Bayern that Manchester City humbled like children. The club your support could only win useless bundesliga and hard to fight until the last game to do it. At least Barca won a league comfortably where the previous UCL winners are (Madrid) and the current UEL winners are (Sevilla). You and the writer of the original message are obviously birds of the same feather.

I think you guys are just jealous that we are moving forward and fear that Laporta will dominate world football like he did previously when he was president. I know some of those wounds haven't healed as yet. Never mind Laporta is just an excellent negotiator. Give a man credit when it is due to him.

Not every leader love to serve their country or city or on any position they may find themself,... Some are for self interest and some for the people benefit and for joy of the people. Now we can all know the kind of lead laporta is.... At the end some bad news will still come against him too.. More grace Culer

Yet under his regime Barca won La liga last season, which had eluded them in recent times and the club is gradually working its way to stability. Do you even know that this isn't Laporta's first time as president? Do you know what Barca achieved in his previous regime? Now who's the imposter if not you?
