Josep Maria Bartomeu

Toni Freixa didn't leave the board, btw. He was accused of leaking things to the press, and lost his secretary position. But he can't be fired from the board. They thought he would resign, but he didn't. So he's still part of the board. Awkward as it gets. They think he is a spy, but can't make him go. Freixa is the only board member without an assigned position.

So, he could come to the board meetings wearing a real madrid jersey and drawing dickbutts all day and he'd still be on the payroll?

Is this some kind of joke ? 2016 cant come sooner.

Sevilla sports director Monchi (46) will be part of the candidacy of Benedito, who will run for Barcelona president in 2016 elections. [csr]

Who's Benedito?

 

[Barcaman]

Guy who ran in previous elections and lost.
Did he get 5 percent even btw.?

Obviously realized he stands no chance so tries to ride on someone elses back.

Who's Benedito?

Agusti Benedito, ran for elections in 2010, but lost. Was a part of Laporta's original board which won in 2003 as well, but resigned in 2009 after finding out that Laporta was involved in some shady stuff.

 

[Barcaman]

Man, I sure hope someone else turns up besides these recycled losers.
Who's next, clown Sala i Martin?

I wonder what Monchi would be like at Barca? It's a very different challenge than being at Sevilla where he is has to find hidden gems for cheap. That's undoubtedly his best quality but at Barca he'd be given vast amounts of money to spend and would be under pressure to make big signings. I'd be confident in him doing a good job but it's not like he can apply his exact methodology from Sevilla to one of the biggest clubs in the world.

 

[Barcaman]

Agreed. Plus, what if Lucho picks his own players? What would Monchi's role be?

Official result (99,17% counted): Rosell 61,4%, Benedito 14,1%, Ingla 12,2% and Ferrer 10,8%.

Discovering upcoming talents and negotiating good deals maybe

Thanx

Discovering upcoming talents and negotiating good deals maybe

I have no doubt he'd be useful.
Don't think he'd have free hands as in Sevilla though.

2016 presidential candidate Benedito has talked with Sevilla's Monchi (46), who would replace Zubizaretta if Benedito is elected. [esportiu]

Sport has a piece on the mistake that costed Freixa his position. It's quite bizarre.
In short, Freixa forgot to add to the agenda of tomorrow's assembly the sponsorship contracts of Beko and Intel. The club legal team is trying to add all relevant info to the agenda.

According to the club statutes, the sponsorship contracts have to be validated by the socios, during the assembly. And Beko and Intel validations are not in tomorrow's agenda. So, if until tomorrow, the legal team can't find a way to put them in the agenda, any soci can challenge those contracts and have them nulified. If that happens, the solution is to call another assembly in 30 days, to try to solve this.

A mess. I wonder how those guys got there. They are amateurs. They just can't be reelected.
