As I said before, I'm not advocating in favor of Laporta as he has his own baggage and I wouldn't like him back at the club... So yes, Laporta had some sketchy deals as well, but he was more astute at the moment of tackling them publicly, therefore reducing the noise around the club and keeping a relative state of peace...
That's not to say a president can do whatever he wants as long as he is not caught, just that it's part of their job to keep the socios, players and fans together/happy, and so far Rosell and co. have failed to do so...
If to replace Pinto, ok. Better than Reina with high wages.
Now , how does our president resigning tonight affect us ?? Will the new guy go on a spending spree or what !!

Nothing will change. Bartomeu is close friends with Rosell, and the latter will still be in charge, so to speak.
This.
What if the socios force a new election? What happens then? Actually, can they even do that?
They can, with a vote of no confidence. I don't know if that will happen, though.
It all depends whether a suitable candidate speaks up or not. If a prominent figure, like Laporta just to name one, acts upon this and says he's interested in becoming Barcelona president as soon as possible I'm 100% certain there'd be a vote of no confidence. Until then, I really don't think so.
