According to Sam Marsden and Moises Llorens, an election will be scheduled within 90 days to vote on replacement functions for the board, with a transient control organization that will oversee the daily operations of the club.
According to the report, 20,000 Barcelona supporters signed a petition earlier in October to remove him from office, prompting a vote on his presidency. Bartomeu said Monday that a vote of no confidence is scheduled for November 1 and 2, with no indication that he would. resign, according to AS:
“As for the vote of censure, we are awaiting a reaction from the Generalitat to see if the adequacy scenario is maintained so that the vote can take a stand on 1 and 2 November. We’re looking at all times for decentralised voting, in various places to get as many members to vote as possible, so we asked for 15 more days, but last Thursday we were told it would be November 1 and 2. “
He also told reporters that giving up “never crossed my mind. That would be irresponsible. With the [coronavirus] pandemic, courageous resolutions will have to be made every day. It would be a bad decision to leave the club in the hands of an administrator. “
The stage with Messi during the summer probably sealed Bartomeu’s fate at the club. The superstar has become disillusioned with the club’s condition and tried to cancel the rest of his contract, a clause that would have allowed him to spend a loose play if he had activated it before the end of the season. Barcelona and Messi disagreed on that date, and Barca stated that it was written in early June, while Messi claimed that the pause and resumption of COVID-19 during the summer pushed back the date.
Barcelona won the impasse and Messi stayed. But it became clear that Bartomeu’s presence with the Catalan ensemble was one of the reasons why the electrifying striker searched first.
“Like I said, I think I was on the loose to go. The president said at the end of the season that he could make a decision whether or not I stayed,” he said in an interview with Goal. com. clinging to the fact that I didn’t say it until June 10, when it turns out that on June 10 we were competing for La Liga. “
