Carlos Alfaro Moreno did not wait for praise from a third party and expressed a clear opinion this Thursday. During the act in which the management of Barcelona SC announced in front of the media the renewal of the contract with the Argentine goalkeeper Javier Burrai, for three seasons, the president of the Canaries assured, regarding the administration he leads, that “this is the best administration in the last 25 years, there is no suspicions”.

“I will show more commitment to Barcelona SC,” says Javier Burrai, who has renewed his contract until 2026.

However, despite this exuberant self-aggrandizement (originally last January), little has been said about the action Barcelona SC will take in the regular courts against those responsible for the club’s nearly $52 million deficit, according to the audit report. the company PKF, which with an interruption until September 30, 2019, discovered serious irregularities of various lines in the entity. In July 2022, management reported that the deficit had been reduced by only 2.76%.

‘Less institutionality’

Alfaro Moreno repeated several times that he will not run in the elections next year in December, but he commented on the administration he leads as follows: “It seems very important to me and I will repeat it to convince you that this is the best administration in the last 25 years, there is no doubt. In 1998, when the final of the Copa LIbertadores was played, it was the second Barcelona (as a club). There was less institutionality”.

The 58-year-old former striker from the Canary Islands mentioned that, even if he does not remain president, “this administration deserves continuity. It does not go through its own name, we have already discussed that in the directory. There are very capable people” to take over the top position.

Who can succeed him as president of Barcelona? Who would be the candidate of the ruling party? For Alfaro Moreno, “a potential candidate will emerge from this administration (board of directors) who will continue in a better way, because we are already on our way.” And if a group of partners is organized, they can also apply (candidate who is not related). The partners will decide on that. Today it is a different club in many aspects”.

Rafael Verduga

And when he spoke about “capable people”, Alfaro Moreno highlighted the work done by the financial vice-president and president of the financial and economic commission of Barcelona SC. “One is Rafael (Verduga), who has done a great job on the financial side,” he added.

The Canarian president also said that “today we need stability, for the professional staff to work peacefully. We have to do everything backwards than in the past, when instability was caused. This is going to be the best of all years, and it’s not because of one person’s leadership, it’s because of the right way (of doing things) between the team and the great leadership of those running the club.” .
