LEARNING from the BEST Gabriel Masfurroll
LEARNING FROM THE BEST Gabriel Masfurroll Foreword I first met Gabriel Masfurroll in the seventies, when he was a teenager and a competitive swimmer. At that time, swimming played a very important part in my life because the European Championships held in Barcelona in 1970, in which I participated actively, were an excellent yardstick for the Olympic Games of 1992. Masfurroll was living in the Residencia Joaquín Blume in Barcelona, run by my friend Ricardo Sánchez, and we had good friends in common such as Santiago Esteva and Maria Paz Corominas, swimmers who in their day were key figures in Spanish sport. I shall never forget something ‘Gaby’, as his friends call him, said to me when he was still very young: “Mr. Samaranch, when I grow up I want to be like you and match your achievements. I also love sport and believe I can do a lot for it”. It comes as no surprise to me, then, to see Masfurroll holding positions of responsibility in leading sporting institutions. A few years later, I met up with “Gaby” again when he was head of the Quirón Clinic in Barcelona. Since then we have kept in touch on a regular basis. We have met and written to each other on numerous occasions and I recall a beautiful picture, on display at the headquarters of the Olympic Committee in Lausanne, which he gave me on one of his visits. I have followed his career very closely over these years and that phrase “when I grow up I want to be like you”, made me take a keen interest in both his personal and professional development.

Cuatrecasas Advises FC Barcelona on Unlawful Accounting Claim | News | the Lawyer Page 1 of 1
Cuatrecasas advises FC Barcelona on unlawful accounting claim | News | The Lawyer Page 1 of 1 www.thelawyer.com Cuatrecasas advises FC Barcelona on unlawful accounting claim 25 November 2010 | By James Swift Spanish firm Cuatrecasas Gonçalves Pereira is advising FC Barcelona’s board of directors on its unlawful accounting claim against the club’s former president. FC Barcelona president Sandro Rosell initiated the action against the club’s former president Joan Laporta – one of the most successful in the club’s history – accusing him of trying to hide the spending that occurred at the club during his reign. Cuatrecasas partners Jorge Badia (litigation), Fernando Cerdá (Procedural law) and Barcelona office head Miguel Trías (corporate) are leading on the deal. According to a spokesperson for the firm, Cuatrecasas, which has advised FC Barcelona on smaller cases before, landed the instruction after winning a tender. An audit commissioned by Rosell revealed that during Laporta’s presidency, although revenues at the club grew from €297.3m in 2006-07 to €415.4m in 2009-10, expenditure grew even faster, from €283.6m to €486.9m over the same period, erasing the €11m profit reported by Laporta’s management for the 2009-10 season. Laporta denies the claims and is believed to be counter-suing. He was chairman at Barcelona from 2003 to 2010, during which time the club won the Champion’s League twice and Spanish league four times. • RSS Feeds • Subscribe to Magazine • Privacy Statement • Terms & Conditions • Previous Issues • Site Map The Lawyer Group is a division of Centaur Media plc 2008 Centaur Media plc.

SPORTS STRATEGY, 2000-2006 Kimio Kase* Sandalio Gómez** Ignacio Urrutia*** Magdalena Opazo**** Carlos Martí**** Abstract Over the period 2000-2006, Real Madrid Football Club and Barcelona Football Club pursued different strategies and achieved different results. In the latter half of the period (in contrast to the first half), Real Madrid won no trophies but was crowned the richest club in the world1. Meanwhile, after a disconcerting start, Barcelona won a UEFA Champions League and two La Liga titles, though it struggled financially. By analyzing the two clubs’ strategies and their financial and sporting performance over the chosen period we explore the different ways in which sports organizations can succeed, and how their success can be measured. The purpose of this study is to answer the following questions: What strategies did Real Madrid and Barcelona adopt to bring about this reversal of fortunes in a few short years? What variables explain the difference in outcomes? Are there any differences in their business and sports strategies? We use a matrix to analyze and relate the clubs’ financial and business strategy to their sports strategy.

The Catalonian Minister of Trade, Tourism and Consumer Affairs And
Gabinet de Comunicació Oficina de Premsa The Catalonian Minister of Trade, Tourism and Consumer Affairs and the President of FC Barcelona football club agreed for Barça’s first squad to wear the Brand Catalonia logo on the sleeve of its sports shirt The aim of the contract is the joint promotion of the Brand Catalonia during the team’s Japan Tour and in those matches played by the team before the official start of the 2005/2006 season, and to have the brand associated with Catalonia’s leading sporting institution Wednesday, 8 June 2005.— Josep Huguet, the Catalonian Minister of Trade, Tourism and Consumer Affairs, and Joan Laporta, the President of FC Barcelona football club, agreed today that Barça’s first squad should wear the Brand Catalonia logo on the sleeve of its sports shirts during all the international games played by the team during the coming pre-season period. Attending today’s event were also Isabel Galobardes, the Director-general of Tourism, and Ignasi de Delàs, the Head of Turisme de Catalunya. According to Minister Huguet, “the objective is to make use of Barça’s pull and impact capacity world-wide to display a brand such as that of Catalonia, a brand still lacking some international positioning”. In this sense, the Minister pointed out that Barça will be the “motor” to promote Catalonia, as is already happening with another such motor, namely Catalonian gastronomy. For his part, Joan Laporta, the President of FC Barcelona, said he felt “grateful” to the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Consumer Affairs for having chosen Barça to make Catalonia better known at the international level.

Expresidente Del Barcelona Queda En Libertad Provisional Tras Ser Detenido Por Presunta Corrupción
Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown Josep María Bartomeu, expresidente del club de fútbol FC Barcelona Autor: www.milenio.com Publicado: 03/03/2021 | 09:56 am Expresidente del Barcelona queda en libertad provisional tras ser detenido por presunta corrupción La investigación que se sigue contra Josep María Bartomeu y su exasesor, Jaume Masferrer, continúa abierta. El escándalo ya es conocido como «BarçaGate» Publicado: Miércoles 03 marzo 2021 | 09:57:05 am. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde La jueza de instrucción de Barcelona (España), Alejandra Gil, quien investiga el caso conocido como «BarçaGate», dejó este martes en libertad provisional al expresidente del club de fútbol FC Barcelona, Josep María Bartomeu, y a su exasesor Jaume Masferrer, informó Telesur. Ambos directivos, que se acogieron al derecho a no declarar ante la jueza, fueron detenidos el lunes y son inquiridos por presuntos delitos de administración desleal y corrupción en negocios. La investigación que se sigue contra ellos procura discernir si contrataron a un grupo de empresas para lanzar a través de las redes sociales campañas de desprestigio contra personas no afines a la directiva de Bartomeu. La magistrada también acordó levantar el secreto de sumario del caso, que había prorrogado varias veces, tras estimar que el club FC Barcelona no figura en este caso como imputado sino como perjudicado. Durante la audiencia ante la jueza, la Fiscalía no solicitó medidas cautelares para Bartomeu y Masferrer. La magistrada Gil también promovió que la plataforma Dignitat Blaugrana, integrada por socios del club culé, se constituya como acusadora popular y no como particular para llevar adelante el proceso.

Joan Laporta 11-05-06
Joan Laporta Presidente del Fútbol Club Barcelona Celebrado el 11 de mayo de 2006. Madrid Con la colaboración de D. José Luis Rodríguez, Presidente de Nueva Economía Fórum - Señores Presidentes del Barça y del Real Madrid, Excelentísimas e ilustrísimas autoridades, señoras y señores, Como presidente de Nueva Economía Fórum tengo el placer de darles la bienvenida al Fórum Europa, la tribuna que organizamos con la colaboración de Asisa, Red Eléctrica y British Telecom. Hoy tenemos la satisfacción de recibir al presidente del Barça , don Joan Laporta. Cuando le invitamos y concretamos la fecha de su intervención todavía no podía asegurarse la victoria en el campeonato de Liga. Hoy, que ya puede celebrarse, hemos de felicitar al Barça y a su presidente no solamente por lograrlo, sino también por la ejecutoria del equipo en todas las competiciones de esta temporada, por su calidad, por su potencia arrolladora, por su notable regularidad y por haberse convertido con todo mérito en un ejemplo tanto en el orden puramente deportivo como en la gestión económica. Y esto lo reconocen incluso sus adversarios. En este sentido podemos recordar los aplausos que los aficionados madridistas dedicaron al Barça cuando visitó el Estadio Bernabeu. Como recordarán ustedes, la elección de don Joan Laporta como presidente del Barça acabó con un ciclo iniciado en 1978 por José Luis Núñez y continuado por Joan Gaspart hasta febrero de 2003, año en el que se vio obligado a dimitir debido a la profunda crisis que asolaba el club. De esta forma accedió a la cúspide del Barcelona el presidente azulgrana más joven de la historia del club.
