Agusti Benedito and Lluís Geli now have in their power the ballot papers for the vote of no confidence against the Barcelona board, headed by president Josep Maria Bartomeu. On Friday, as expected, Bendito and Geli arrived at Camp Nou to collect them from the club's offices.
They now have 14 working days to get the necessary signatures to take the vote of no confidence to the next stage. The club have facilitated 33,140 papers, with Benedito needing 16,570 signatures for a referendum to be called. In said referendum, he would need 66 percent of voters to back him.
As he left the club's offices on Friday, Benedito said: "I am more optimistic now that when we began to gather an idea of support online [in June]. More than 15,000 people have given us support. Now we just need to turn that into signatures."
And he said that he still believes he has until Oct. 2 the get the signatures, given the difference of opinion between him and the club on the dates.
