Joan Gaspart i Solves (Catalan pronunciation: [ʒuˈaŋ ɡəsˈpaɾt]; born 11 October 1944) is a Spanish businessman and a former Barcelona president between July 2000 and February 2003.[1] He was born in Barcelona. He was vice president of the club during the presidency of Josep Lluís Nuñez between 1978 and 2000, before becoming president himself. He was heavily criticised for his presidency that lasted from 2000 to 2003,[2] and also labelled himself as a poor president of the club.[3][4] Gaspart spent the money from the sale of Luís Figo to Real Madrid, by buying Emmanuel Petit and Marc Overmars from Arsenal and Gerard from Valencia.[5]
