The president of Bartomeu and the leaders of Barcelona resign simultaneously | Sport

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has been the subject of countless criticism for the club’s flawed transfer policy over the years. The fact that Lionel Messi publicly demanded to be out in the transfer window this summer is considered “a drop of water”, causing Barcelona fans and shareholders to lose faith in Bartomeu.

The club’s internal controversy, combined with Barcelona’s poor start, led the club’s 16.5 thousand fans to sign a petition demanding Bartomeu’s resignation. This is also a number that will cause the Barcelona board to hold a vote of no confidence scheduled for next week. If more than 66.6% of the total 154,000 partners with shares in Barcelona agree, Bartomeu will lose his seat.

With increasing pressure, Bartomeu decided to resign rather than await his passing. The 57-year-old man’s decision surprised the crowd, as in an interview the day before he continued to insist that he would not resign as Barcelona president for any reason.

Not only Bartomeu resigned, but also the entire current Barcelona board. This is understandable because the most important positions in Barça’s leadership are close to Bartomeu.

Thus, Bartomeu ended up more than 6 years sitting in the most powerful chair at the Camp Nou. In his early years, he helped Barcelona achieve great success on the pitch, most notably a hat-trick in 2015. However, Bartomeu has led Barcelona into chaos in recent years by confusing decisions. and controversial.

The departure of this president also shows the supreme power of Lionel Messi at Barça. Many believe that Bartomeu has agreed to resign to give Barcelona more opportunities to retain Messi in the context of the forward’s contract being only 7 months old.
