"What's happening is not a coincidence or accidental." These are the words of Barcelona's financial vice president, Javier Faus, with respect to the FIFA sanction, which bans the club from signing players until June 2015. It is the latest episode in "a long series of allegations" against the club. "We will investigate who is behind this and when we can prove it, we will comment," he said in statements to Spanish radio, 'RNE'.
The 'Azulgrana' director claimed that there are people who are trying to "erode Barcelona's image, but they won't succeed". "There are many people who cannot stomach the fact that the club wins everything and has been at the top of football for ten years. They can't take it, but we will not stand here with our arms folded and the response will be forceful. I can guarantee you that," he added.
Faus insisted that the club has been the target of "a long series of allegations" over the years. The executive mentioned "doping allegations" and "attacks" on its managers. The vice president also appeared on last night's 'El Debat de La1' programme in Cataluña. These were his impressions: "I'm surprised that Barcelona's training model is being called into question. La Masía has always set an example. We are absolutely against all of this. We are optimistic after speaking to the lawyers. We hope that FIFA rules on our side."
