Romeu told Sport: "It was an operation that we could not afford as a club, it did not fit into the economic structure.

"The HVAC contract? Yes, but it was a poisoned gift that we recommended not to accept from the business sector.

"It was putting the institution in danger and the president (Joan Laporta) said no one could be above the club. He made the right decision."
