Bartomeu gone

Spanish La Liga

Some news that happened while we were on air - Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has resigned under increasing pressure, but said he had accepted proposals for the club to join a European Super League.

Fans had been trying to remove Bartomeu , who became president in 2014 and had fallen out with Lionel Messi.

He stood down on Tuesday, along with the entire board of directors.
In a leaving speech Bartomeu said Barca had begun proceedings to join a Super League to help its financial future.

(My emphasis in bold)

Never fall out with Messi. It never ends well.

As for the European Super League. I await Tebas‘s take on this news. Had City been foremost in pushing this sort of idea you could bet the house that he would have been shouting his outrage from the rooftops.
