Former Barcelona president comments on the Negreira case: “Have not done anything illegal”

As we close in on the end of the year, Barcelona appear to be increasingly confident about overcoming the Negreira accusations and moving ahead.

Although the jury is still yet to be out, Joan Laporta has recently conveyed in the Barça Assembly that the club are not expected to ride any danger from the Negreira case.

Another member of the Assembly and former Barcelona president, Joan Gaspart, also spoke at the event today.

Barcelona have not done anything illegal

The former Barcelona president pointed out that the club have not done anything illegal and it is important that all must unite at Barça.

“Barça have not done anything illegal. We must trust in justice and it is they who must decide. Those who love us have gone ahead and have already judged us,” he said at the Assembly (h/t SPORT).

“One day we will talk about ethics, but from the past. With Di Stéfano, with Figo,” he added, taking a shot at Real Madrid.

Offering Barcelona to unite, Gaspart added, “I want to summon all the presidents of Barça so that there is unity. All of us who one day assume the presidency of the best club in the world must come together.”

Gaspart echoed similar sentiments as Laporta, who implied that there is a wave of Madridismo in the social, economic, and cultural fabric of Spanish football.

Gaspart’s advice to Joan Laporta

The former Barcelona president even had a piece of advice for the current president, as he urged Laporta not to entertain any offers of becoming a Public company.

“When you are asked if the club will be a public limited company, don’t dwell on it, just say no and that’s it. Whoever wants the club to cease to belong to the members will not be president of Barça,” he said.

Finally, Gaspart added that a club like Barcelona will always have enemies. “The day we do not have enemies is the day that we will not exist,” he said.

He concluded his intervention, adding, “I live for the enemies and as long as we are united, we will never be defeated.”
