Barcelonas economic vice-president Javier Faus believes the two-window transfer ban handed down by Fifa is a result of the latest attempt to erode the clubs image. The punishment follows evidence gathered by the world games 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 isnt fortuitous. If Barca as an institution, along with the fans, arent strong, then these things will do us harm. Our proposal is to move together. They try to erode the image of Barca but they wont be able to do that. As an institution we have said enough!
