The Rigid; Regime On Dutchman Louis Van Gall Was Tottering And The Spendthrift Methods; Of Club President Joan Gaspart Had Left The Pride Of Catalonia Some; 140 Million In Debt. One Of The World's Great Clubs Had Won Nothing For; Three Years. It Was Totally Unacceptable. Enter Joan Laporta, The Largely; Unknown Presidental Candidate, Who Promised He Would Buy David Beckham If; He Beat Luis Bassat To The Presidency. The Ploy Worked But Laporta Chose; Another Superstar Instead. The Brazilian Ronaldinho Entered Stage Left On; The Nou Camp Stage Instead, And The Rest Is History.
