As this blog had revealed a few weeks earlier, Jauma Guixà, a 51-year old Catalan university professor, has announced that he will take part in next year's elections for president of FC Barcelona.
Guixà is the president of a Barcelona fan club and was already a pre-candidate in 2006 when he wasn't able to collect the signatures needed (read more here). This blog will publish some of the statements made by Guixà at a press conference last Wednesday.
Economic situation
Barça has done well at the economic level and regarding the new markets, mainly thank to Ferran Soriano and Jaume Ferrer. I have nevertheless some doubts on the financial situation of the club.
I surely will lift all veils, we will proceed until the end. Laporta promised transparency when he arrived at the club, but we didn't see any of that. We're still waiting for the 'due diligence' he promised.
Politics
There is a problem of overexposure since Laporta got involved with politics. If he wants to become a politician, I would advise him to leave the club first. Barcelona shouldn't belong to any political party, foundation or organization.
Remodelling of the Camp Nou
I will change the current project. The extension should start from the needs of the members and should try to give a place to all those who are now on the waiting list.
To finance this, the club can nevertheless not sell assets, something that can only be done when there are financial problems. We should also talk with the people who live in the surroundings of the stadium.
Poll results
The polls so far are not reflecting the reality of this moment. I can only say that so far our name has not been included in the polls. We have today presented our candidacy, so from now on we are another option for the Barcelona voters.

Guardiola
I want to congratulate the magnificent players of the first team and the technical staff because it's thanks to them, and not to the board of directors, that Barcelona is going strong at this moment.
Pep Guardiola is sacred, I count on him and his team 100 percent because of what he has shown as a player, as the coach of Barcelona Atlètic and by making history with the first team. From Pep Guadiola down, we don't plan to touch anything or anyone.
Begiristain and Oliver
From Pep Guardiola up, everyone should leave. I don't trust Joan Oliver or Txiki Begiristain. They won't be part of my project.
Financing of his campaign
The total cost will be clear in a few weeks from now. I can only say that until this moment everything has been paid by myself and that I can guarantee we will get to the end of the election process. I will give further explanations after the elections are called.
Date of the elections
I think that the board could call the elections soon after the end of the World Cup for Clubs in December, so Laporta would have more time to start his new career in the world of politics and prepare his participation in the Catalan parliamentary elections later next year.
Linking up with others
I don't plan to join another pre-candidate but my group is open for all Barcelona fans who want to work in the benefit of the club.
His run in 2006
I will never again take part in elections that will be held in August or the summer. Now I have a lot more time to convince the members and to collect the signatures. Although I want to point out that in the end, I came out stronger because I got to know the club members and their wishes better.
this is the second part of a three-parts serie. you can read the first part here. you will be able to read third and last part in the coming days with guixà giving his opinion, among other things, on the plan to remodel the camp nou.

Alternative for "laportism"
I'm a clear alternative for the laportism and that's why I'm very happy and excited to present myself today as candidate in the coming elections at FC Barcelona. The laportism has to end with Laporta. The club has done well in some areas, but the president didn't fulfil any of the promises he made when he was the leader of the opposition through the Elefant Blau group between 1998 and 2000.
He is regularly causing instability on the institutional level, something we don't deserve. It seems he has forgotten everything he has said and done with the Elefant Blau and his board now goes against the principles that made him become president.
The image of the club has never been this bad, due to fifteen board members leaving, Laporta's publicly expressed political ideals and his fights with the regional presidents of Extremadura and Cantabria.
The model of Laporta should end. At this moment Barcelona is only upheld by the sporting results, not by the management of the club. When Laporta leaves the club, all board members have to leave with him at the end of his mandate and none of them should run for president. Things need to be cleaned up. We don't want imitations or followers.
His key principles
We propose seriousness, stability and effectiveness.
Club members
I will listen to the socis, who are the true owners of the club and who should be involved more.
His team
I cannot yet give you any names but I will be able to count on a remodelled, corrected and enlarged team compared to the one of 2006.
this is the first part of a three-parts serie. you will be able to read the next parts in the coming days with guixà giving his opinion, among other things, on the continuation of manager josep guardiola and sports director txiki begiristain and on the plan to remodel the camp nou.
