THREAD on Laporta’s strategy:

Laporta has attacked Madrid, VAR, the federation, PSG, while always (with no exception) defending the team & Koeman.

Font has attacked Koeman, Mingueza, Umtiti, Griezmann, Laporta.

That’s how Laporta won the votes of the old conservative socios.
Laporta has 15k loyal voters that voted for him in 2015 with no preparation & against a treble. 25k voted for Bartomeu. Those 25k are the key here. Some are anti-Laporta nuñistas (Freixa or Font voters), others want a presidential figure to save the club. They don’t care who.
Those are the ones Laporta aimed his campaign at with his presidential yet composed tone, always defending an injured Barca against those from outside rhetoric. A brutal campaign planned from the very beginning to perfection. How many of them are in the 25k? That I don’t know.
I don’t know the procedure for online voting & I don’t know wether to trust it but if elections happened on January 24th then Laporta would’ve hit 55 to 60% easily. And that’s why some pushed for them to be delayed, hoping for a change in dynamics. What change?
The goal is to provoke Laporta & make him go back to the impulsive hot-head that attacked everyone in 2015. That way he loses a big part of the 25k voters that want a presidential figure. Hence why Font keeps mentioning him. Nostalgia, refusing to debate, use of bots, Garcia..
It’s also the establishment’s strategy, hence why Tusquets joined hands with Font when asking for Eric Garcia, sending a public letter to Laporta criticising him & also leaking Messi’s contract. Laporta, until now, has kept his calm & composure. Still a few weeks ahead. Let’s see
They’re hoping for a slip-up by Laporta. Even when Laporta will present his sporting project on the 25th, he won’t throw around names. If Overmars is the chosen one, it’ll probably be leaked by the press. What Jordi & Xavi did to Font: homicide. Pique too.
Laporta has to watch that. Better to have Overmars’ name leaked then doing a Font. Like I said back then: Font threw those names back then because the signatures weren’t flowing in as expected. He went from 2k to 4k. Desperate act. Laporta shouldn’t succumb to pressure.
Puyol, Valdes, Overmars, Marquez, Iniesta, Rangnick, Zorc or whomever is chosen, if they don’t want to be mentioned in the electoral campaign then no problem, we see you on the 8th of March. Laporta doesn’t need to score goals, just avoid silly mistakes.
