According to some of my fellow Bloggers Barcaloco and one of my favorites MLSenespañol . The Miami Franchise is in danger. MLS en Español's source is SportsES who has an interview with the General Director of the club Mr Olive who states that due to these financial times there is a chance the project will not go forward.
Well, it was my understanding that Brightstar owner Marcelo Claure was the main investor who is going to fork out the $40 million big ones and not Barcelona.
So I did a little digging, a phone call and an anonymous source close to Mr. Brightstar confirmed that though Mr. Olive speaks for FC Barcelona he is not the one who has the last word. Everything is still on course folks, Marcelo Claure is the one putting the loot. Barcelona is putting the know how and years of experience and they are what makes the bid strong, but it is no secret that there is internal posturing within Barcelona, especially since La Porta's term ends in 2010. Rest assured my source tells me La Porta and Claure are the main characters in this drama and as far as Marcelo Claure is concerned he is not backing out.
More to come...

I hope your source is right.
Yes, it's a good source.
Word is the Herald and Sentinel were scrambling for an interview. I hope they got so that they can give us some news this weekend. Other wise they'll use this speculation and give us a story next week.
I will keep saying this: I am big supporter of the franchise in Miami. The city and the soccer fans in the "305" need and deserve a professional soccer team.
The problem is what is going on with Barcelona now and all the problems Laporta is facing. One of my readers told me about this awhile ago but I did not want to believe it, specially after listening to Claure and how convinced he was.
Again, I hope this doesn't jeopardize the Barca Miami franchise.
Saludos and congrats on the site! I really like what you guys are doing and if you don't mind, I will add it under "Amigos de MLS en Espanol.net"
Gracias MLS en Español!

We hope all the mess that vato Laporta has done don't mess with our hope for a new MLS team.
