After his dispute with Lionel Messi, who couldn't leave the club even though it was his desire, Bartomeu may be kicked soon.

Its crazy times at FC Barcelona. First, Lionel Messi tried to leave and put end to his one-career loved club. He told it first to president Josep María Bartomeu but the exit door was closed for him. The Argentinian star is now prisoner of a contract that he signed after his word agreement with the president was not respected.

Secondly, Bartomeu himself could leave now, even he didn't want to. The reason is the 20,687 votes from members who backed the motion for the president to face no confidence vote. 4,000 extra signs were recruited, as there were only 16,250 needed to start this process.

Now, just after a final approbation of the vote, the board will have between 10 and 20 days to set a day to finally vote. Bartomeu planned elections in March but things may go a bit faster than he was spectating to and his departure after six year as the club's president.

At the end, the decision of preventing Messi to do what he really wanted to condemn Bartomeu to leave Barcelona even before that when he was awaiting to do so.
