Barcelona vice president Emili Rousaud led the rebellion of the club's directors in Friday's meeting that ended with president Josep Maria Bartomeu agreeing to a number of measures.
Bartomeu agreed to suspend his adviser, Jaume Masferrer, who has been singled out as the responsible party for the club's relationship with I3 Ventures, a company that had been discrediting players, legends and club members on social media, while defending Bartomeu's image.
However, as well as suspending Masferrer for the time being, the president has also agreed to bring in an outside company to conduct an internal investigation into the relationship with I3.
The company that has been chosen is PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC), one of the leaders in their field.
One of the questions the directors want answering is if the price paid to I3 (198,000 euros five times) adjusts to the market value for the monitoring of social media, which is what Bartomeu said they were employed for.

Bartomeu has been a negative nuisance, can't wait to see his ass shoved out of the Barcelona President's office. I don't understand how he managed to scoop the election of the club President, maybe he has a good managerial background than the other candidates. If there's an investigation constituted to look into his commercial dealings, it should start with how he conducted himself before the elections which ushered him into office, he is most likely have rigged and bought the whole electoral process. He's a sleazy El Capone!

At last, the beginning of the end for Bartomeu. He will be disgraced and forced to resign even before his tenure expires. I trust PWC to do an impartial job as they've been globally reputable for over the years. It's high time this sinking Barca ship is brought afloat. #CHANGE
