Carles Tusquets, concerned about the club’s economic situation

The management board of Barcelona took control of the club and presented themselves in the style of the board that has just resigned, that is, with an appearance without questions, in which they explained that the economic situation of the club is the great concern at the moment, even above the immediate call for elections, which apparently are not in such a hurry.

Carles Tusquets, president of the management company because of his status as president of the economic commission, assured that “we will call the elections as the English say ‘as soon as possible’. We will do so as soon as possible, but emphasizing as much as possible “We will not accept pressure for deadlines. We want the new board to have maximum representation and that involves elections with the largest possible participation. Next week we will call an appearance to explain in more detail the measures we will take.

The manager has been formed with eight members from the Economic and Disciplinary Committee without including any member of the outgoing board of directors because the manager is concerned, as explained by the president of the same, Carles Tusquests, mainly about “the economic situation” .

“The pandemic is especially affecting Barcelona. The club depends on tourism and now there is none, the situation is not comfortable, we have to collect the ideas of the previous meeting to remedy the evils that affect us,” Tusquets stressed

He was accompanied at the appearance by Joan Manuel Trayter, Catalan Ombudsman of the soci that introduced the parliaments, half an hour late on the scheduled schedule, talking about the historical difficulties of Barça such as the kidnapping of Quini or the bomb that fell in the Civil War as an example of the the entity’s ability to overcome difficulties. Then he explained who are the members of the manager and the functions of the same, which are summarized in calling elections and exercising the functions of government of the club in the necessary and essential acts for the operation of the entity.

In this sense, it seems that it is more urgent to finish the negotiations that the directive had established with the employees to reduce the salary scale by 190 million euros.
