SER | This is the highest number ever collected in the history of no-confidence campaigns.
What was the previous record?
I very much doubt he'll step down as a result of this - he knows that in the interim period to phase 2 he'll still be in charge of the club, and even if the second phase is successful then he gets to choose an interim successor anyway, so it will just be another Rosell/Barto scenario until the new board comes in. This is a good sign symbolically, but sadly it doesn't actually change that much. If Barto selects a successor then it's just going to be another one of his cronies who will milk the club for as much financial gain as possible.
9,500ish for Laporta in 2008
No person in their right mind would vote for Bartomeu?s successor during elections after the levels of incompetence displayed in the last 7 years.
"The vote of no confidence will only be accepted if two thirds or more of the votes are in its favour, as long as the number of these is a minimum of 10 percent of the members of the club"
Break the statement above into two rounds. Round one 10% of total members which is very close to 16.5k, (19k votes collected). Then round 2 2/3 of total members of 156k. For me, this makes more sense!
"If they achieve that, the vote of no confidence would then be put to the entire membership base in the form of a referendum. Two-thirds of a potential 154,000 voters would have to go against the board in the second stage in order for an election to be called".
