Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has been told no more board members will quit – after six resigned on Friday night.
Bartmomeu lost six directors this week when Maria Teixidor and Jordi Calsamiglia joined Emili Rousaud, Enrique Tombas, Silvio Elías and Josep Pont.
That left Bartomeu with just 12 other directors and further resignations could have threatened his position as president.
But the 12 are all set to stay and he can now look to bring in at least one new face as he prepares to go into his final year in the job, says the Daily Mail.
The resignations are the latest episode in a scandal that emerged in January when it was revealed a company called I3 Ventures, hired to monitor coverage of Barcelona in social media, had links to social media accounts that generated negative stories about Barcelona players and rivals of president Bartomeu.
