Can Joan Laporta walk out the door?
In any case, this is what is being demanded no less than ten groups of Barça supporters, burned in recent days by the controversial management of the club's leaders in the Olmo affair. If a group of partners had already made its dissatisfaction known earlier in the week, this time it is a joint press release, with all of the opposition to Joan Laporta's board of directors as signatories, which could make things happen.
The Olmo affair, but not only
If Laporta's resignation is first requested through these lines, the groups otherwise propose two other solutions: a vote of confidence or a motion of censure. In the Olmo/Victor file, the ” neglect ” is criticized, but these are not the only elements which upset the groups. In recent days, the basketball section of the club tried to bring in French leader Thomas Heurtel before turning around at the last moment when the player had already arrived in Spain from China. And the groups are angry with the managers for having thought of bringing back Heurtel, who had already been with Barça at the time and who had left the club to go… to Real Madrid. Another point mentioned and regretted: a huge commission (50 million euros) given to the agent Darren Dein in the renewal of the contract with Nike…
That's a lot, indeed, but it will probably take a little more than that to imagine Laporta leaving on his own.
Barcelona starts its year quietly
