STUNNER! Laporta declares he may run for Barcelona president - AGAIN

Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta says he could stand for the club's elections. Laporta has blasted the running of the club since his departure and admits the 2016 elections are on his agenda.

"I'm not ruling out running and being a candidate in the next elections. I think they are doing things that they shouldn't be. A whole world opens up from there," remarked Laporta in a press conference.

Laporta is disillusioned with the current executives, which is his main reason for considering a comeback.

"What am I supposed to expect from a board which has tried to show that we mismanage the club? I don't expect anything."

The former Barcelona boss fired criticisms at the club's two latest presidents: "Rosell and Bartomeu are two sides of the same coin. One president ran off without explaining himself and now there's another who no-one voted for. Rosell's absence changes nothing."
