News: (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻: The 2020-2021 Season Thread

Temporary thread title. We need an ingenious one.

The Liga calendario was released today (Monday 31 August).
NOTE that because of matches played in August Barcelona will begin Liga play on Jornada 3. (Likewise Atlético, Sevilla and Elche. Real Madrid and Getafe will begin play on Jornada 2)

UEFA and FIFA dates already confirmed.

Supercopa to be played from January 13 (semifinals) to 17 (final).

Copa del Rey dates are guesses on my part except for the April 17 Final which appears to be confirmed.
Barcelona do not enter the Copa until the Round of 16/Octavos in late January.

For me, some of the dates look a bit screwy.
First week of February has midweek Liga followed by weekend Copa (?)
Clash of schedules midweek April 26-28 (?)

Anyway, this is what I have. Hope it is legible.
I'm sure I made mistakes along the way so please don't hesitate to provide any corrections.

Ah yes. Much better.

That last week in April still confuses me, though. I'm guessing J32 and J33 will be brought forward to leave the UCL on its own for midweek 27-29..

 

Okay, your link has it different from what Sport and Marca have which were my sources.

The La Liga link has no Liga fixtures for the weekend of the Copa Final.

APRIL 2021
weekend 3-4: Liga-J29 (H) Real Valladolid
midweek 6-8: UCL-QF1
weekend 10-11: Liga-J30 (A) Real Madrid
midweek 13-15: UCL-Qf2
Sat 17: Copa-F in Sevilla (La Cartuja)
midweek 20-22: Liga-J31 (H) Getafe
weekend 24-25: Liga-J32 (A) Villarreal
midweek 27-29: Liga-J33 (H) Granada / UCL-Sf1
MAY 2021
weekend 1-2: Liga-J34 (A) Valencia

So my guess of bring J32 and J33 forward is not possible.
That final midweek in April has me confused with UEFA and La Liga being played together..

 

The censure motion against Bartomeu began today.
The organizers have 14 days to collect 16.520 signatures for a vote to take place.
This is the form that the soci must sign.

 

Earlier I had stated that Laporta and Font need to back this vote of no confidence or else they would lose credibility (in my eyes).
.
Potential candidate Agusti Benedito offers a valid argument to why he believes this motion may not succeed.

"I consider it practically impossible. At a strategic level it does not seem like a good move because if they obtained the 16,000 signatures, which is extremely complicated, respecting deadlines, they would go to an election in February. If the elections are held before March 15, the board that wins those elections loses a year in office."
I believe this is essentially what happened to Bartomeu and why elections were held in 2015. I believe they were originally scheduled for 2016 before Rosell stepped down. Something along those lines.

Benedito added that the motion can turn against its promoters. "If it is about making a strong criticism, there are other ways of doing it. If not enough signatures are collected, Bartomeu will say that not 10% of the membership have asked for his resignation."

I went ahead and flip-flopped the two. Sounds more logical.

 

Looks much better.
Now we just need one that includes all competitions.

 

Saturday 12 Sept: friendly (H) FC Andorra
- per RAC1

 

I'm calling it fake because I've yet to see any credible news outlet post it.
But it would be hilarious if he did sign one.
