FC Barcelona's President Joan Laporta h

FC Barcelona's President Joan Laporta holds a news conference after eight other leading officials resigned in protest at Laporta continuing in his post on July 10, 2008 in Barcelona. Albert Vicens said the vote showed club members are "deeply unhappy" with Laporta's leadership of Barcelona, which has failed to win any silverware in the past two seasons. The eight who resigned Thursday included the first vice-president, Albert Vicens, the sports vice-president, Marc Ingla, and the vice-president in charge of finance, Ferran Soriano.
