If the treble is achieved Laporta won't win IMO. The socis are conservative. Mood swings very quickly in football. Zubi will be the scapegoat and that's it. Even during the shitstorm in winter Bartomeu had some 20 % votes or something like that and was only behind Laporta with 40 something % according to polls.

Is Laporta even running officially? When's the election, this summer?

Maybe with the impending treble he won't even bother to run?

i can see laporta winning even if we win a treble.
the shit bart caused us will all be brought up again.

Not to mention a lot of the youth coaches leaving because of the management. Barca has no identity atm. Pimped themselves to quatar as well. Tbh Lucho needs to stay.

Bartomeu doesn't even like football lol. He's always been more involved into the Basketball branch of the club. He was also head of that section during Laporta's reign. It would be incredibly stupid if he gets elected again. He's no president.

Bartomeu was (and still is) just a muppet. Him being the president is a big misunderstanding.

He wasn't elected in the first place and certainly won't be elected now.

that's what we said about Merkel back when she became CDU's chief too, though.
And now look at us

Bart will overseer the most successful period in the club's history if we win the treble. We are playing free flowing attacking tiki taka cruyffian football. I hope he stays for at least another decade (:

Man City are monitoring the situation of Barcelona coach Luis Enrique (45), who could leave if a new president is elected this summer. [dm]

LOOOOOL

If Laporta don't win the elections even if we hopefully win the treble than it's failure on his part IMO.

Lots of ammunition for him and his people to use against the current board.

Lel @ daily fail. Dat english press

The rise of Lucho should be a good book to write.. the way he became legend from nothing and won the heart of GL . that is really something..

Laughed so hard at this.How long has she been Chancellor?Seems almost 10 years.

Is he unsure of his future because he doesn't know if a new bird would want him on for another term? Or is he threatning to leave? I'm confused

I think the only reason why Luis Enrique's future could be in doubt is the upcoming election.

Does anyone have any idea who helped resolve the issues between Messi and Enrique mid season? That person(s) deserves to be garlanded. Without that none of all this would have been possible.

Why are so sure that there was somebody involved? Maybe they just talked like men, eye to eye.

Or maybe there never was a conflict...

rumor is the captains of the team so i'm assuming iniesta / xavi / buscuit talked enrique out of punishing messi/neymar

deserves another season. would be outright retarded decision if he gets the sack

Nobody solved the problem. Messi scored hat trick next week and dribbled like Maradona and Garrincha combined together, received huge applauds by crowd. He became happy and forgot about incident. Then team started winning and every enemy became friends after that

Could be the first ever manager to win the treble and get sacked as a result?

Just joking. He's got a contract and will countinue IMO.

Credit to the man for turning it around when it wasnt looking so bright.
I feel like he figured out his best 11 (which was a problem for him earlier in the season) and the roles for everyone and then it took off. Didnt get in the way of the front 3, let them play, move and combine and found a good enough defensive solution to sustain the 3.

No doubt he will continue and fairly so.

Right, but he himself sounds like he might not, for one reason or another. Maybe he figures if Laporta gets the gig that he might get axed for Pep. Seeing as the people running are mostly promising to bring him back. Could also feel disrespected just like Alves

I dont think he would leave unless told to first. And I dont think Laporta would tell him to leave yet either. I know he didnt choose the guy, but he just won the treble..I think Laporta will have common sense.

Plus I truly believe Pep isnt leaving this year and if he did (next year) I truly believe it wouldnt be to come to Barca.

I think he saw the "mistake" of Van Gaal, coming back a second time. And I think it would be a mistake to come back, at the very least not untill the team is totally different and he is working with a completely different set of players.
