The president of Mediapro, Jaume roures, blamed the current Barcelona board of directors for the club's current crisis and demanded his departure as soon as possible. “The situation is a consequence of the activity of this directive in recent years. Many of us warned about what was going to happen sportingly and economically and it has happened “Roures assured tafter the presentation in France of the Telefoot chain, which he owns.
Following the result against Bayern Munich in the Champions League (8-2), “The board should have resigned, at least morally.”
“There are statutory problems that they inflate to show that nothing else can be done, which is not true because there could be elections in two or three months, before the end of the year, “he said.
Roures demanded that the directive recognize whatand they have done it “darn badly” and accused them of not face “any financial responsibility because they spend the money of others.”
The producer indicated that the Dutch Ronald Koeman, favorite to take over the bench, “He is one of the ideal trainers for Barça” but he warned that the club's regeneration cannot depend only on him.
“Koeman can be one of the important instruments for that process to be peaceful, as bad as possible. But The solution to the Barça problem is not Koeman, it is that this directive leaves and another comes with a head“he commented.
Roures was confident that Lionel Messi will remain at the Catalan club, but he will require “a competitive team and a board that does things well.”
He also claimed that Barça's style of play is recovered, in which, he said, some of the players who are now criticized would shine more.
The Spanish producer presented the Telefoot chain to the press on Tuesday, through which it will broadcast in France the matches of the first and second French divisions, whose rights Mediapro acquired for the next four seasons for a record price of around 800 million of euros.
