Yesterday’s When Saturday Comes website ‘WSC Daily’ feature was a short piece I wrote about Football Club Barcelona’s outgoing president Joan Laporta’s real world political ambitions. It seems as if Joan fancies himself as the man to bring about an independent Catalonia. As the piece says:
“Outgoing Barcelona president Joan Laporta looks set to run as a candidate for Catalan regional president in elections this November. Although he has yet to announce his candidacy formally, a campaign website is already up and running. “I will continue to dedicate the best years of my life to the country I love,” says a beaming Laporta. “The moment has come for us all to serve Catalonia.”
