Originally, the big victory over Atletico brought barca the joy of resurrection, but the CEO's resignation cast a cloud on Barca.
Barca hit Atletico 4-2, Xavi gave the team a 2-day holiday, and Barca signed a high sponsorship with Spotify, which was supposed to be a week to celebrate, but Barca could never be quiet for three consecutive days. On Tuesday, Barca did not hear the news of the official signing of Spotify, but a very bad news came that the club's CEO Felan Revettel resigned. The most important executive in Barca's executive level resigned less than 8 months after taking office, which is not a good thing for the club.
In the club's announcement, Reverter cited more time for his family as the specific reason for resigning. However, this is just an excuse, and the real reason has become well known, that is, the incomprehension between him and president Laporta, the last straw that crushed the camel was Barca's sponsorship contract with Spotify. It is reported that Barça and Spotify are negotiated sponsorship contracts last weekend, and Swedish streaming company Spotify will sponsor Barça's first team chest advertising, get the naming rights of Camp Nou, and the sponsorship of Barça women's football and training clothes, with a total contract value of 280 million euros (also said to be 225 million) for 3 years. But Barca's signing of the most important sponsorship contract did not go through the hands of CEO Revere. LaPorta negotiated a contract with Spotify while Revettel was on a business trip to the United States to help Barca negotiate sponsorship, and After Revettel learned of the incident over the weekend, he returned to camp Nou's office on Monday and submitted his resignation to Laporta.
Revettel opposed Barca and Spotify signing a contract, first arguing that all eggs should not be put in one basket, and all sponsorships should not be packaged and sold to Spotify. Secondly, Revettel believes that Barca's sponsorship contract is cheaper, and he believes that Real Madrid's new sponsorship in 6 months can easily surpass Barca's contract.
However, this is only the last thing that Revettel can't stand, after Laporta and Revettel have had many disagreements, such as whether to renew the contract with Messi, Revettel insisted that barca's economic situation is impossible to renew Messi's contract, and Laporta had excitedly flew to Miami twice to sign Messi, and finally Revettel threatened to resign with Messi to block Laporta and Messi's contract extension.
Laporta had made the signing of Revettel the most important card in his presidential campaign and promised Revettel full management at the executive level. But Revettel found that Laporta was constantly stuffing various of his cronies into the club's management department, such as the lawyer of Reus, the Catalan small team that Laporta had taken over, which Laporta had taken over, and the head of the club's sustainable development department, such as a partner that Laporta had worked with beijing polytechnic football club. On the other hand, during the winter transfer operation, Revettel found that Laporta's signings lacked purpose, but liked to find a friend's agent or friend intermediary to do things, which Laporta's practices were completely incomprehensible to a professional manager who had previously worked for a German multinational company.
Revettel, an executive who has worked for the German multinational MediaMarkt for 17 years, may not be clear to many Barca fans about how important this executive is, and almost all the important things that Laporta can do after becoming president are revettel's. For example, Revettel helped Barca get a low-interest loan of 500 million euros from Goldman Sachs, helped Barca complete the debt restructuring without money, it was Revettel who advocated not to renew Messi's contract, and insisted on letting the captains cut salaries, helping Barca to reduce salaries by more than 150 million euros, it was Revettel who made plans and personally explained to fans at the general assembly that the rebuilding Camp Nou plan was approved, and got a loan of 1.5 billion euros from Goldman Sachs, it was Revettel and football manager Alemani who went to Manchester to sign Ferran Torres, The current five-year economic route planned by Barca is also designed by Revettel.
After Revettel resigned, the local media got news from the club that Laporta wanted to find a CEO who was loyal to him, closer and more approachable, and reporter David sarcastically said: "Let's see if Laporta will find a relative of her own to become the CEO of Barcelona." ”
Less than a year after La Porta was elected president of Barca, Barca's image gradually changed from Barca controlled by a professional elite team to a nepotistic Barca, which Laporta had previously built a troika structure of the club's management executive layer, and has now gone two people, including Revettel and the vice president in charge of the economy, Giro, who has long resigned, leaving only the football manager Alemani. Even Romeu, the vice president in charge of the economy, who has since helped Laporta solve the pledge problem, has already expressed to those around him that he wants to leave Barca. But Barca now all the problems seem to have been solved, and now even if Alemani leaves, Laporta does not seem to panic, and some commentators say that the only thing that can make Laporta nervous now is That Harvey has offered to resign.
