Du indbyder i den grad til en fortsættelse, Isa. Shhh, videre.

Jeg er noget spændt på duellen mellem Laporta og Font. Førstnævnte må betragtes som storfavorit, men Font kunne godt overraske, hvis han får trukket de unge vælgere til sig.

Læste forleden, i en meningsmåling, at Laporta står stærkt og mange gerne ser ham tage endnu en tørn som præsident i klubben.

It goes without saying that Victor Font is certainly head and shoulders above the rest of the presidential candidates, with the exception of Laporta himself. However, this comes as a direct result of his hard work and campaigning.

His ‘Sí al futur’ project, literally meaning ‘Yes to the future’ in Catalan, focuses on the future of the club after the departure of Lionel Messi. Of course, Font would still like to present his sporting idea to the Argentine in hopes of convincing him to stay but also knows Leo won’t be around for too long even if he decides against leaving Barcelona in January or the summer.

While Font has been hard at work to convince people he is the right man for the job, Laporta seems to be banking on his relationship with some of the key players in the dressing room and his past success as the club’s president.

No one needs reminding of the success he’s had back in the day, from backing Pep Guardiola as he rose through the ranks to essentially building the world’s best footballing team to date, Laporta’s CV is as impressive as they come.

Of course, while the past must not and will not be forgotten, it’s still only that — the past. If Laporta is to have a real fighting chance, he will likely need more than nostalgia and good faith. People need actions and solid ones at that. So far, we know the former president has looked into the club’s financial situation carefully and is working on a plan to get them out of the gutters.

Presidential candidate Víctor Font has announced that if he wins the elections, Xavi Hernández will become the general manager, Jordi Cruyff the sporting director and Tito Blanco the technical secretary. [via cat radio]

Víctor Font (Presidential candidate): "If the season ends badly this year, Xavi Hernández would already be Barcelona's coach next season, while also being the General Manager." [via onda cero]

The football general manager, also known as the GM, is the person responsible for the players contracts. He handles many of legal responsibilities between players and their team contracts. The general manager also hires the head coach and other members of the coaching staff. He is also capable of doing any firing. He oversees all components of a team, including players and staff, and reports back to the president or team owner. Many technicalities bypass the head coach and go straight to the general manager.

In the most extreme case, the director of football may act in a role similar to the continental club 'sporting director' or general manager; holding control over transfer policy and targets, team affairs, stadium and training affairs, travel, fixture selection and having input into squad selection and day-to-day club affairs. This is generally confined to the 'sporting' side of the club, with marketing and financial aspects handled by another director or executive. However, rarely is such a position referred to as 'director of football', with 'sporting director' or akin preferred.

The director of football's job is sometimes compared to that of a general manager in a North American professional sports organisation, and often referred to as 'sporting director' or some equivalent in continental Europe. In a structure with a powerful director of football, the position of manager may be officially called 'head coach' or 'head of 1st team affairs' in order to more clearly define the remit of the traditional 'manager' and 'director of football'.

In this case the length of appointment is intrinsically linked to on-pitch performance, in the same way as a manager.
