The vice-president of Barcelona Javier Faus, says that the world football governing body is just poised to dis-repute the image of the club and its not a new thing.
The punishment follows
evidence gathered by the world game’s governing body suggesting Barca had breached rules on youth signings during the acquisition of 10 youngsters.
But Javier Faus told Radio 4, as reported by El Mundo Deportivo, that the Catalans will prove that the allegations are nothing more than the latest leg of a
smear campaign against the club.
“Nothing that is happening is either a coincidence nor free,” Faus stated. “Over the last five years Barca have been the victims of a series of accusations, such as doping and the aggression of our coaches such as Pep Guardiola and Tito Vilanova.
“Now there is [Lionel] Messi [tax issues], now Neymar [signing controversy]… it isn’t fortuitous. If Barca as an
institution, along with the fans, aren’t strong, then these things will do us harm. Our proposal is to move
together. They try to erode the image of Barca but they won’t be able to do that.
“As an institution we have said ‘enough!'”
Faus continued by claiming that the club’s success in recent years has resulted in outside forces wanting to
bring the Barcelona name into disrepute.
“We are looking into what is behind this, and when we can show what it is, we will say. There are a lot of people who can’t accept that Barca win everything and
that we’ve been the leaders in world football for the past 10 years despite changes in coaches and directors.
This doesn’t assimilate well, but we won’t sit here with our arms folded and the answer will be forceful, I guarantee you that.”
Also in Barcelona’s statements reads “The children affected aren’t playing but they continue to study and will continue their development. We will fight this, since you cannot tolerate such an attack on a world renowned model.”
And the club has 90days to file an appeal before FIFA following that they have right to contest against the allegation.
