Victor Font took advantage of the arrest of the former Blaugrana president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, and the rest of the club's executives, to question the current model of the club, which in their opinion will remain unchanged if either of the other two candidates wins: “It is the clear example that we must change the presidential model of the club where the president thinks he is the owner and acts with obscurantism and behind the partner's back. Here it is being said that with our money they have done what they wanted. I have felt attacked and I have been a victim of these attacks. But it is not a problem of now or a few years ago but decades. It can't be that the alpha male decides everything. With Laporta there was also a problem of managers investigated and other people. This situation is an opportunity for people to realize the need for a change in the model to run the club, with shared leadership and greater transparency in all senses ”.
Font, who highlighted “the great barcelonismo” of his rivals for the presidency of FC Barcelona, had to endure the onslaught of the other candidates under the pretext that Xavi Hernández has not spoken in favor of his project: “I say again that if someone finds some statements of Xavi saying that it is not true that I lead my project, I am retiring. And I insist again that Xavi is not only exclusive to us. Let's see if we already change the elementary frame. I only ask that this is not with me or against me. Hopefully the other two candidates have him. “
The candidate, who promised to show the endorsement of the 128 million euros that he will present in the case of winning the elections, defended himself like a cat belly up when Freixa accused him of trying to get Messi to go free this summer: “I I never said that Messi had to go this summer, but the word of a president is very important and Bartomeu promised him that he would let him decide his future. What should never have been reached is the burofax. “
Regarding Leo's continuity, he was blunt: “It must continue yes or yes. Yes three times: sportingly, with the credibility that Xavi Hernández has with Messi, economically it is part of the solution we will make you a life contract, and institutionally ”.
Font, who sees a “Laporta with less push now than in 2003 when he took the club”, He wanted to make it clear that the experience of the former president will not be enough in the face of future challenges:“ Laporta asks us for a dogma of faith, believing that his experience is enough. In 2015 he appeared in the electoral campaign with a technical secretary (Abidal) who has not gone very well.. It is essential to have your homework done and not improvise. We already have the squad for next year, taking into account the economic reality of the club. In the current situation of the club it is to deceive the partner to promise a great economic transfer “.
And is that Font refused to sell smoke with impossible signings: “I don't have a money making machine at home. Without a solvency and a clear economic plan we will not succeed. In the current situation of the club it is deceive the partner to promise a great financial transfer “.
