Election: Sandro Rosell! According to his plan…
Approximately seven months before the start of the election process which will determine the new Board of FC Barcelona, Sandro Rosell has much of his homework done, reports Madrid based sports paper AS. The former sports vice-president and architect of the team that won the 2004 – 2005 league title spearheaded by Ronaldinho, resigned in June 2005 amidst disagreements with club president Joan Laporta over the direction of the club. It is reported that he already has prepared a very advanced blueprint of what the Board will look like if he achieves victory in the elections next spring.
In his plan, Josep Maria Bartomeu, another board member who resigned in 2005 will take the spot Rosell once held, vice-president in charge of sports. The medical field will be under the command of Mones Jordi, one of the earliest to leave the 2005 board, accusing Laporta of pushing individualistic agenda ahead of the club.
The charismatic figure of Masfurroll Gabriel, who was vice-president during the era of Joan Gaspart, could have a place in the proposed establishment although at the moment, it remains open to discussions between the two parties.
The person tasked to handle all important social matters, including political, for Sandro Rosell’s candidacy is Jordi Cardoner, the grandson of Nicolau Casaus, a man known for his expertise in this field.





























Why do I get a bad feeling about this man being elected…?
You and me both! If he gets elected, it´s going to be back to the goof old days for Barça… You know, the turbulent days…. this is not good, guys! Not good at all….
I really hope a Laporta kind a guy gets elected, so he´ll continue the good work that has been started.
This guy is our very own version of Perez…
annoying guy he is, always walks with his fucking NIKE notebook.
we r finally green, dnt want to go into debths!
This guys looks like my friend who looks like a sneaky rat!
a perverted one.
The best canidate is either Jaume Ferrer who is the currnet VP of Marketing, or Xavier Sala i Martin, which is the newly appoint VP of Economics (his field of expertise). Laporta is posed to choose Xavier as his successor and if that is the case, I believe the majority will choose him. Especially is we win more titles this season. I will most likely vote for either these two depending on their campaigns. We need someone who is going to continue Laporta's current strategy. Sandro Rossell is NOT going to win especially due to our recent successes under Laporta. He is not a good candidate after walking off the board. Neither are good candidates those who walked off the board during last years vote of no confidence against Laporta. They didn't believe in him and then we won the treble, now the 5 cups (+ spanish super cup and european super cup), and next the 6 cups (+world club cup).
Agreed and I hope you’re right. I can’t vote since I’m not a socio (living in the US, what’s the point?). But I don’t like what I keep hearing about Rosell.
You can vote via online now according to the new statutes passed at the last board assembly. Even if you cannot vote, being a member still brings the value of having the pride to say you are. I would suggest you still become a member.
K i dont much bout the candidates.. but if wat u guys are saying is right .. then this guy shouldn get elected.. i just hope some1 right for the job in all aspects gets elected and the MAIN thing is PEP should renew his contract after seeing who the new president is… that for me is the MAIN thing.. we will keep winning titles under pep.. hes bleeds red and blue
rosell is barca version of perez? haha yea right there is no other like that guy. rosell just isn't that over protective like laporta. we should find out more about these people before we claim which will harm us and which won't cause all of them are vying for barca presidency which means there all in it for the betterment of barcelona.
you might be right about ALL wants the best for Barca.
but every cantidate does it differently.
an example is Perez, what he is doing is 'great': signing Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema who r all strong players…
But he also put the team in more DEBTH.
So its actually how they HELP the team
Benzema is not a strong player. Over-rated. Lyon's replacement Lisandro is in fact better and every Lyon fan agree.
Benzema isn't really overrated he just needs to find a team that suites him best. all his talents are there to see but who can really bring them out. if he had gone manu benzema would be a monster. playing in a squad like real madrid where people look for ronaldo more than the forwards and raul partnering him and playing direct counter attacking football is a tough task. benzema likes to be the target forward and he would be in manu the way rooney plays(always looking for the pass before the shot). barca too would of been a good option for him.

i think rosell would be a good president but you cant argue with laporta's track record hes the clubs most successful president ever FACT and that speaks volumes altho just becuase laporta is the most successful president it doesnt mean that socios should vote for who ever he recommends
Ex-Vice President Soriano and the other members of the Board who resigned last year are preparing a candidacy too.
