Barca

PR | "Four consecutive years of failures are not an accident: they are negligence. Failure has become more resounding, ridicule more frightening, bills are getting worse every year, and accounting ploys are getting more embarrassing every year," says 48-year old FC Barcelona candidate Victor Font about the development under the Presidency of Josep Maria Bartomeu.

No confidence vote in current Barcelona president likely to bring forward elections by six months.

48-year-old business executive and media entrepreneur Victor Font presidential favourite. Font seeks to revitalise Barca members involvement in the club and monetise its global fanbase.

Huge challenges ahead: Messi future, Nou Camp redevelopment, squad overhaul and vast debts.

Font wants to create an advisory board at the club that will encompass the professional expertise of the club’s vast fanbase. It will move the club away from a remote old boys network that draws the despair of many fans.
