Election immediately then what? They will come with zero time to make any impact for next year. And will have to deal with all this shit for whole season.
Also Laporta was the top candidate in Socios polls by good margin, those folks need the time or else they will lose to the known guy.
Even if Laporta is my favourite choice, I think it's better if all candidates have enough time to campaign.

Yes, we all want this mofo gone, but election in early 2021 is the best choce.
As long as they don't renew anyone contract, except Messi

If the reports are correct, Abidal, Planes and Grau are all getting fired tomorrow. So it looks like there will be a new sporting department regardless of elections or not.

Who knows how that's going to go down.

Font isn't stupid if he is asking for an immediate election, it means he is ready. He would still have maybe a week in the transfer market, then he will have the January transfer market too. It's important to start the new project soon, it will be gradual. Either way, we shouldn't expect much the next season.

He wouldnt have time to get anything done and not sure he would even want to come in and rock boat like that or run with that as the manifesto.

Result of Font winning elections any time soon would most likely be a season of Pimienta leading the amigos.

Season would be well under way be time he took over if won.

Will still push for elections now even if they dont think it is best idea as need to keep momentum and name in media as pushing for change.

Well, may be he is ready, but also may be he stupid.
Wasn't the latest poll having Laporta with over 50% and Font with 10% between Socios? You think he can close the gap in couple of weeks?
Most likely I think it is just a political game, non of those really want immediate elections but it is what fans want to hear.

Maybe it gives the new board time to realize how fked our finances are and plan for the summer 2021 transfer window accordingly (if that is even possible)

Either way they will have accounts long before next season and not in time for it to have any impact this summer.

Apparently, there is some rule about board having to pay from their own pockets if the books are not balanced during their term.
Guillem Ballague talked about that.
That is the sole reason Barto and Co will push the election as far in the future as they can.

That has already been covered and not an issue.

It wont impact the elections other than maybe board wanting to have the accounts finalised before they leave.

there is a football show on the romanian tv station that broadcasted sevilla- man utd. they were discussing the game and also what is currently happening at barcelona.

they were reading messages from fans and one of them wrote that he is living in barcelona, near la masia and that people have seen guardiola attend a meeting with members of the board. :lol:

He is very smart man. I personally met the guy briefly and had an offer to work for his company Delta Partners.

Why its a smart move? because he knows Barto/Rosell camp won't win the election now. Laporta isn't ready, poll can say whatever but if he doesn't show up with a solid plan, he will lose too as he did in 2015.

Font will show up with Xavi and a solid financial/sporting plan. Checkmate

Guardiola himself said he is never coaching barcelona again. The ship is sailed

Mundo Deportivo chief Santi Nolla was saying in the debate tonight that people attack Bartomeu for no reason sometimes, that this isn't his fault :lol:
