Victor Font is busy with his business overseas so I doubt he'll run. Don't think he got much of a chance either tbf, atleast not from the different surveys carried out by SPORT, MD, Radio Catalunya etc.

Regarding the club’s statement: Cierco, the board member who lost his positions, is being charged with money laundering for drug cartels.
I know he loves ranting about our current board, but this is scary if it's true.
Ten questions and answers about Barça's contentious deal for Neymar and its repercussions.
1. Why did Barcelona get involved in a deal like this?
Rival interest in Neymar from other clubs forced their hand.
2. So they had no choice but to break the law?
Sandro Rosell felt that the best way to Neymar was through his father and so gave the latter a €50 million sweetener.
3. What was illegal about that?
The prosecutors believe this money should really be seen as part of the forward's wage packet and it wasn't suitably declared for tax purposes.
4. Why did Barça initially say the deal only cost €57 million?
The club had agreed with its banks not to surpass an outlay of €70 million.
5. What did Josep Maria Bartomeu do to end up in the dock?
He made a mistake with a €5 million back payment. He should have applied the tax withholdings the Tax Agency requested and then claimed a refund if he felt something was wrong.
6. Will Bartomeu and Rosell end up in prison?
Bartomeu has a good chance of avoiding a jail sentence. Rosell is up against it.
7. Isn't it over the top to request jail for Bartomeu?
Yes. What he is being charged over is a technicality and the mistake was made by club employees.
8. What'll happen next?
The trial probably won't start until 2016. The judge could set bail in the millions.
9. Do Barcelona have cause for complaint over how quickly proceedings are moving?
Things may be being fast-tracked, but the alleged offences are there for all to see.
10. Will the case affect the presidential elections?
Definitely. It will be an albatross around Bartomeu's neck.
Ramon Cierco scales down responsibilities
Finally, the Board of Directors have accepted a scaling down of Ramon Cierco’s responsibilities with the director relinquishing his role in youth football and the FC Barcelona Foundation. Ramon Cierco will continue as a member of the Board of Directors.”

Like Freixa is all innocent.

He has a point from a legal point of view but Freixa himself is and was part of the board when Neymar was bought. He has hardly any legitimacy to point wingers at other board members. Somehow I never liked him. There is no chance of him getting elected.
What annoys me is that he is stirring trouble up in a already divided and chaotic board. What the club needs currently is unity more than ever at this crucial stage of the season.
