When too much is too much.
Josep Maria Bartomeu is expected to step down as soon as possible and the elections to replace him as president of the Barcelona club should take place as soon as possible.
His mismanagement of the club is legendary, with the latest humiliation in the UEFA Champions League clearly cementing his legacy.
His transfer policy is a mess, his decisions about coaches seem to be too. He hired and fired the wrong people at the wrong time. He wasted years of the greatest player ever, Lionel Messi.
We have all been talking about it for a long time, as the problems have become increasingly evident. There is no trust in him now.
Barcelona have a transfer business to take care of. A coach can be hired today. Time waits for no team to resolve their president. Decisions could be made by the interim council meeting to replace it until a new president is elected. But the sooner you take it out, the better.
There have been rumors that Bartomeu is considering holding elections by the end of the year. Considering his term will expire soon anyway, that’s not good enough. He needs to do it much sooner.
It is said that Messi is ready to go. Whether he really wants to leave, or is simply forcing Bartomeu’s hand, we really don’t know. But in any case it is a clear sign that the time has passed for change.
