Barcelona presidential candidate Jordi Farre is convinced Josep Maria Bartomeu and the board will resign.
Farre is delighted to have gathered the necessary number of signatures to proceed with a vote of no confidence against Josep Maria Bartomeu’s board.
Bartomeu, whose mandate is up in March 2021, looks set to become only the third president in Barcelona‘s history to face such a vote.
“A short while ago we surpassed 16,520 signatures, the number needed to move forward with this vote of no confidence,” stated Farre. “We will reach close to 20,000 as the number of invalid signatures is very low.”
Farre is content with this progress and his next aim is for the club to skip holding the vote itself, which he thinks would be unnecessary and complicated.
“We are very happy, we expect the board to resign soon so we don’t have to go through the unsavouriness of a vote,” Farre continued.
“I hope they resign, it would be senseless [to hold a vote] after 20,000 members have come out and told them to go. A vote is a bit awkward right now with the situation we are in, and expensive for the club.”
