Peñarroya, Force spokesman
The media have insisted a lot to Joan Peñarroya On that lack of signings. The Barca coach has had to act as a spokesman for the section more times than it really corresponded to him, and all this has been as a consequence of the silence of Josep Cubells, the manager responsible for Barca basketball. Nor has General Manager of the Section been lavished in his speech, a Juan Carlos Navarro that did attend journalists displaced to carpena to live the last game of the season. It would be positive for Navarro to also give explanations in the Catalan capital about a campaign that qualifies with an “approved”, despite having closed without titles.

There are many questions to be resolved. In fact, there has not been a simple assessment of how the season has gone by the top leader of the section. Meanwhile, the section of the section, which is no longer for excessive luxuries, is reduced, but it is intended that the competitiveness of the equipment is not affected. A desire that conflicts its contradiction.
An appearance without scheduled date
The media silence of Josep Cubells does not seem to break, at least, in the short term. In the Barça de Basket agenda, an appearance of its president is not scheduled. A difficult decision to understand, since there is a significant part of the very disenchanted fans with the direction that Barca basketball has taken in recent years, and that needs, beyond explanations, reasons to really get excited again with the team. The dialogue is still the best transparency exercise to explain the reality of situations. But for the moment, Cubells keeps silence.
