Mikky Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Laporta wins with 58% according to the exit polls (because of course we have exit polls in a Barça election). Is the news coverage as extensive as a Spanish election? The coverage in the Catalan media has been insane Particularly when you take into account that 100,000 have the right to vote in this, compared to 5 million in the Catalan election of a month ago. Turnout 55% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Do all players get a vote or just those there for a certain amount of time/Catalan/captain? In order to vote in the elections you have to be a club member with one year of seniority. Players don't get a vote for being players. Usually players from the area (Busquets, Piqué, Alba, etc...) are also members since they grew up being fans, but Messi has been a member for years too.

Village Idiot Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 All precincts have reported () and Laporta wins with 54% of the vote. Honestly I think he's a sleazy blowbag, but if he appoints Alemany as general manager that will be a pretty good start. I'm far more worried about the financial side than the football side, though.

Guest Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 It’s a ‘rolling’ Premier League title so like if it was boxing. The first holders were Leeds (as reigning Division 1 holders when the PL started, and the ‘title’ moves on to whoever beats them, and so on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Rangers had sent a letter to Nicola Sturgeon (I think it was something to do with the recent crowds outside Ibrox) and in it they'd made reference to "the other half of the Old Firm" but apparently Celtic no longer consider the Old Firm to exist since Rangers started again.

Kanj Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Always wondered if we were going to sign him from Montpellier after he was running the show as their #10. I had this low-key dream that we'd have Ba as our CF, Belhanda as our #10, Hatem at RW and Remy as our LW. Cabaye and Tiote at CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
