Vote of no confidence presented against Bartomeu and Barcelona board amid Messi transfer drama

A vote of no confidence has been presented against Josep Maria Bartomeu and the Barcelona board as supporters and club members seek the immediate resignation of the president and his officials, as the Camp Nou side plunges further into crisis.

Many have been calling for Bartomeu to step down for some time, with the entrepreneur's time in charge of the Catalan side largely seen as a disaster.

A disastrous transfer record has played its part, with the squad unbalanced to the point that Martin Braithwaite was brought in as an emergency signing due to the club having no attacking back-ups during an injury crisis.
