The vote was scheduled for November 1 and 2. The opposition had collected more than 20,000 signatures from members of the association for the motion of no confidence. Bartomeu’s opponents would have needed a two-thirds majority to oust the unloved chief from the throne. Voting is no longer necessary.
Participation in the super league
Bartomeu also revealed to journalists that Barcelona had agreed to participate in a European super league a few days ago. This commitment has yet to be confirmed by the voting members. According to Bartomeu, the club will be run by a commissioned management company until the new board of directors is elected in the spring. Along with the president, the entire executive suite resigned on Tuesday.
Bartomeu had become unpopular because he had fought on the team with the superstar Lionel Messi, among others. Barça’s crisis had come to a head at the weekend with a 3-1 home defeat in the Clásico to Real Madrid and a fall to twelfth place.
