Actually, no. He was ousted from his position during Barbara's rise to power. She wanted to curb the influence from Galliani's camp, and to entice more of the younger generation of our Legends back to work with the club, but we all know how that ended up.
Initially it was suppose to be Galliani who Barbara was pushing to step down from his position, however due to Berlu keeping Fester on board, they had to curb someone to make room for Barbara (don't ask me why they did not just add an extra seat on the BoD, I don't know), Braida was the one to go.
As the one who's networks brought in MvB, Sheva, Kaka and Thiago Silva for us, I'd always been of the opinion that Berlu should have let Barbara properly clean house and threw Galliani under the bus instead. Just look at all the good work he's been doing for Barca these past years and you'll know what we've been missing.
By the way, the last piece of work he did for us was signing on Honda. That's probably one of the main reasons why I still have faith in the lad.
As for the Bee deal. Can ANYONE confirm or deny the rumors regarding how it's going?
Officially he signed a pre-signing contract which set a deadline for investment money to arrive at Fininvest on or before 30 Sept 2015, and should he pull out from the deal, he'd be dealt with a very harsh penalty.
Officially Bee was stated to be coming to Milan to watch the Derby as part of his own birthday celebrations, and no mention was made officially as to whether the money would be coming in at the same time.
I've read what everyone has been saying that the plug has been pulled on the deal and all that, but up to now there's been nothing about it officially, just newspaper rumors and pure speculation and analysis on how Berlu was acting near the end of the Summer Mercato. Does anyone have any reliable sources that indicate whether the deal is still going on, or whether the plug really has been pulled?
