Laporta Survives As Barça President
Sunday, 24 August 08, 01:19 PM · Comments (9)
After a troubled summer in which he scraped through a vote of no confidence, Joan Laporta has been confirmed today by the General Assembly as Barça president until 2010. The members who form the Assembly have voted by nearly 55% in favour of Laporta and have also approved the economic budget for the coming season.
The likes of Sandro Rossell or Ferran Soriano who may both have their eyes on Laporta's position, will now have to wait until the elections of 2010. After the good sensations that the football team is showing this can only be a positive thing for the club after all the instability created by the vote of no confidence. I know many won't agree with me but I feel that despite his faults Laporta deserves to finish his mandate.

Welcome back Nic, hope you had a good time in the sun 
Barca been quiet on the footballing front with them salvaging a last-gasp win against Boca which seems to have prolonged Pep's honeymoon with the club although it has to be said he tried a combination of players which obviously just didnt work but im sure we'll be fine come the first league game.
As for the Lapotra saga, Im glad its over and Barca can concentrate 100% on footballing matters, all the doubters got their wish, and they lost. Its done now, everyone including the disgruntled fans should accpet it and move on now and get behind the team.
I look forward to your next reports Nic and btw, next time your away let me do one of the reports for you as it seems so dull without your match reports 
i am glad it is settled!!............now barca can focus on winning the league and champions league this year.............by the way barca fans,frank rijkaard is taking ove as ac milan coach next season(2009-2010)
I am glad this is good news. Now we can solely focus on the season at hand!!!
Yeah, I agree, good news. I never really understand why it is necessary to change literally everything in the club only because we won nothing for two seasons. We now have really good conditions to play a role in La Liga and in the Champions League
good news about the president.. much needed stability at the club.. Nice to hear about rijkaard gettin a job at milan.. hope he does well..

yeah good news to be to be honest a change of presidency would only bring instability plus laporta really is'nt al the bad blown out of proportion president the media claim him to be
it was never really a doubt this would happen. truth be told, i just want to let all this management crap behind and now concentrate on the actual football.
