El Caso Negreira continues to dominate Spanish football, one week after revelations broke about Barcelona’s relationship with Enriquez Negreira came to light.
Negreira’s company, Dasnil 95, received €1.4m from Barca for scouting services and verbal reports, although that number is now reported to have been much higher.
New information from El Mundo (via Relevo) has been released, in which a second burofax has come to light that Negreira sent to Barcelona following the decision of former president Josep Maria Bartomeu to end their commercial relationship with the former Vice President of the Technical Committee of Referees.
Negreira’s first burofax was a threat to the club that he would expose their “irregularities” to the media. In his second one, he asked Barcelona, through his legal representatives, to continue paying him, despite Bartomeu having severed their ties.
Negreira stated that Barca could not stop paying him “after so many years of relationship, so many favours lent and so many shared confidences.”
La Liga have already announced that Barcelona will not face any sporting sanctions for their part in El Caso Negreira. However, the story is likely to keep rumbling on for some time.
Forever branded as IowIife cheaters.
You can brand Bartomeu as a cheat and a lowlife, and you’ll get no argument from me. He was forced to resign the presidency (by the board and the socios), and he ought to be in prison. Calling a club “permanently branded as cheaters and lowlifes” probably isn’t a road you want to go down as a Madrid fan, though. Your club has a checkered past also; most big successful clubs do. If we branded all of those clubs as cheats and lowlifes for their past transgressions there wouldn’t be many left to root for. I respect Madrid, don’t get me wrong, but I’m not blind to their past, and you probably shouldn’t be either if you’re calling out other clubs.
But laporta has paid double as bartomeu, which only goes to show that it is a tradition that goes on. Maybe you should pay more attention to what is said in media, bartomeu said it himself.
“Your club has a checkered past also; most big successful clubs”
Of course, if you had any evidence other than your wishes, youd already link them.
But we both know you cant because bo such thing exists and thats why your conjecture is pretty pointless to even adress.
Your club has now proved that they use bribes to achieve results and there is only one word for that. Untill same or similar incident is brought to light there is nothing you can do but accept it.
Nice that you respect Madrid as club, but there is no reciprocity; noone can respect those who use bribes to fix matches in their advantage.
The bribes accusation you make is speculation on your part. You have no evidence of that. I didn’t link examples of Madrid’s checkered past because I assumed as a Madrid fan you were aware of it. Other big clubs indeed have questionable and even illegal behavior in their respective pasts, but I’m not here to do research for you. Maybe you need to brush up on your history a little bit.
The bribe accusation have not been denied by laporta (which would be the most natural thing to do if youre innocent) and they even gave been admitted by this fella. Yet again, bartomeu said that laporta paid out twice he (bartomeu) did.
Perhaps reading comprehension is where the problem lies with you. Amongst other things.
You arent impressing anyone with your rhetoric. Youd present it if you could, and since you cant, I can only draw the conclusion that you are a liar and a charlatan and move on. Ironically, you found the perfect club to cheer on.
Not even Tebas mentioned bribery. The bribery accusations were made by others that have no internal knowledge of the situation, and who either want to create clicks or to damage the club publicly. More likely, Bartomeu got up to some bad business that would have damaged the club had it come to light and was being blackmailed for it. The communications from Negreria certainly alluded to blackmail. They’re published in case you want to read them. The chief of referees himself indicated match officials were not involved, which is also public. We don’t know why Laporta continued to pay, although I suspect it was due to the threat of blackmail and to protect the club. Nothing is there to suggest that Laporta engaged in anything that Bartomeu did five years ago. Does it stink? Absolutely; it’s embarrassing as a Barca fan, but claiming bribery when you don’t have any evidence of such is just bad form. So is namecalling when someone disagrees with you, by the way. ……………………………………..
We should all remember that no crime hidden that can’t be let out.
If Real Madrid is a culprit, the axe will speaks. For now, it’s Barca.
What a shame to Spanish football. Barca is a politician club.
The bribes accusation you make is speculation on your part. You have no evidence of that. I didn’t link examples of Madrid’s checkered past because I assumed as a Madrid fan you were aware of it.

At this point, your posts have become I think, I suspect and I believe.
Who cares what tebas said, he wants to make money off barcELona.
“The communications from Negreria certainly alluded to blackmail.”
Great you finally read the articles. I dont know why you played st.pid from the start. At least I hope you were playing.
“you don’t have any evidence of such is just bad form”
Yeah, it wasn’t bribery, you just pay a ref million per day for shs and giggles in a period when barcELona DIDNT RECEIVE ONE SINGLE PENALTY AGAINST THEM IN LIGA FOR TWO SEASONS IN ROW.
You’re pretty bad at this. Absolutely terrible.
“So is namecalling when someone disagrees with you, by the way” Poor baby. Man up.
Congratulations to yet another EL exit. Looking forward to your bankruptcy.
I also notice that you still haven’t provided any substance to your wild claims that were just as bad as you. That’s frankly what I thought.
In this modern age of lawsuits for the fun of it, where you can lose billions fir saying the wrong word, there is no way this fellow would step forward and slander the club without evidence or substance.
Also, brokELonas legal team haven’t taken any steps. It speaks volumes.
They got the receipts, they know what’s up.
