Minutes before the team Koeman continue to show before him Valencia a painful physical form, which this afternoon may report a disgust before the Dynamo Kiev, the few delegates present in the Assembly last Sunday they showed strong doses of maturity and ‘seny’ when proposing a referendum to approve the 1,500 million loan that will be requested on behalf of the Espai Barça.
Indeed, it was not a matter of venturing such a decision in a hurry, since, if approved, the debit figure to Goldman sachs would have reached more than 2,150 million, almost three times the budget for 2021/22. In addition, what was approved in a referendum by 37,535 members in 2014, could not be morally (although legally) annulled for just 500. Once accepted, point 4 of the next Assembly it should be eliminated, since it overlaps with the plebiscite question. The question now is how it will be raised: whether it will be a simple yes or no to the 1,500 million hit and miss or there will be alternatives such as arranging it in fractions as the works progress.
On the other hand, it also seems convenient that the management of the Espai Barça be outsourced by a commission of experts, which is accountable to the board, of course, but with a status like that of the Foundation, for instance. This commission, which would monitor the works and their financing, should be led by the person who, without making noise, avoided a worldwide ridicule by saving the constitution of the guarantees. We refer to Jose Elijah, President of Audax. Giving autonomy to said committee would also mean relieving the board of directors from such a cumbersome task and would make the day-to-day management of the club more bearable and operational.
