Barcelona spokesman Josep Vives has announced the deadline for Agusti Benedito to get the required signatures for his vote of no confidence against the board: September 27. 

While the club had originally fought for September 19 -- Benedito suggested October 2 -- it's now been set for the end of the current month. 

Vives revealed that "an internationally recognised lawyer" considered Saturday to be a working day, but not Sunday. 

 

Another topic which came up was the club's opinion on Catalan independence. Vives said the club is in favour of a referendum, although wouldn't state whether the club are or are not in favour of independence.
