Barca didn't mind taking Qatar's cash when it suited them? Barcelona are bitter and twisted in recent years. They're rivaling Real for the dirtiest football club going. Transfer bans, underhand deals, taking blood money, whining about others etc. They've been horribly mismanaged since Laporta left, and this is only the beginning.
