Josep Maria Bartomeu

President of FC Barcelona

Motion will fail IMO as it's practically impossible to get the 66% needed in Round 2 unless the players make a public statement, but I have a feeling powerful men in Catalunya are making moves behind the scenes to help the candidacy of a new man, hopefully Victor Font.

Might be the reason Laporta has been reserved lately too as he's in the mix.

A new person is the only way Mundo Vomitivo and Sport will accept a new President too. They're very anti-Laporta and anti-whoever was in Laporta's board including Benedito as they weren't that willing to share secrets and exclusives with them, and openly went to war with the press when they reported something false. For us fans that might be great, but perhaps not the smartest thing to do turning them against you.

Laporta rather infamously also tried to get Santi Nolla at MD replaced by going to his bosses in Grupo Godo and suggesting they appoint Francesc Aguilar as the new chief of the paper. That went all wrong when Aguilar turned out to be Nolla's pet dog and the old fuck has since then had a grudge against Laporta and whoever he is associated with him, including repeatedly playing down Cruyff's influence as a player and coach at Barca.

Dont really get the feeling Laporta wants it and think he would be a disaster.

As good as he was in lighting the flame to get Barca going again dont think he is the right man going forward. He used it last time to promote himself politically and gain financially and wouldnt have Cruyff this time around.

Laporta has had his time and think he knows it.

The great Joan laporta a disaster Jesus Christ

Haha you sound like some kind of cult member.

For what he achieved in turning club around he was best President ever but he is too much about himself and doesnt have Cruyff and doesnt even want it I dont think.

Need fresh ideas if it gets changed up.

Agree with this. Can't believe Sneyke (the guy Farto and Rosell bent over backwards for) of all people is one of the louder voices in denouncing the board.

Well, it's not like the Sneyke is doing it out of love for the previous club or his friends. He's only doing it as the board have not agreed to pay his loyalty fee and are attacking him in the media!


The only ex-player who had the cajones/cared enough for the club to speak out against a board when they are not doing things well was Cruyff who unfortunately has passed away.

For fucks sake, doesn't he understand that nobody wants him here? Even the players hate him.

Barto is wanted by the people in the capital Madrid. Marca already smearing Laporta of fears him coming back.

Not sure about Victor Font if he can manage a big football club plus he is busy with his companies between Barcelona and Dubai. Laporta is wanted by the Executive Council of Catalonia for his strong solidarity for Catalonia independent. The President of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont dislikes Bartomeu and thinks he is too weak.

Somehow, some people will still try to defend the board.

"This doesn't imply the board is lying. Iniesta is the liar. We don't believe conspiracy theories about the board. Yada yada..."

Honestly, I have very rarely seen anyone defending the board. The fanbase sometimes even wrongly criticise messi but never defends the board.

Yeah, it's rare but it happens and it grinds my gears.

Of the signatures gathered, two third will have to be in support of the argument that the board will have to be pulled down right?

Two thirds of everyone who turns up to the elections (not just those who signed) as far as I'm aware.

Yeah well...... Some body signed it means that they have promised to turn up for the election right?

What is this second round that every body seems to be scared of?
