Joan Gaspart has finally bowed to the unrelenting pressure and announced that he will resign as president of Barcelona on March 1.
He declared his intention to stand down at an Extraordinary General Meeting in Camp Nou and admitted that he had not done a good job as president.
The Catalan giants have failed to win a trophy on the football front since the hotelier took over from Josep Lluis Nunez in the summer of 2000.
"I have decided to leave the presidency on March 1," he explained. "I realise now that I was a good vice-president, but not a good president.
"My biggest error was to run for president, because as people know I did not want the position, but put forward my application because of the circumstances at that time.
"I do not blame anyone else, I took the decision to stand for the presidency. I should have remained where I was because I was very happy doing that.
"I believe that this move is the best decision for Barcelona.
"I will be with Barcelona until I die whether as vice president, president or as a member of the club."
Current vice president, Enric Reyna, will take over the running of the club until elections are held in June.
Gaspart has been hounded this season by the fans and media alike, after Barca slumped to their worst ever start to a league campaign.

Madrid won 4-1! :extatic:
Raul finally scored after a few weeks couldn't get any goal
Ronaldo...Phew, almost missed the penalty
but then he could finished it well. But the man of the match was Zizou 
He play with his fantastic actions
Gerry Amstrong (ESPN Commentator) said that he's a master ....and I agree with him 100%

Dennis, the problem is "El Real" is "too big" to drop players who are underperforming, just look at Ron playing all the time ever since he got there. It's a big problem as sometimes they are not in good form but still on the pitch non stop. Zidane has had a bad period, Raul has had a dry spell and Ron is only starting to deliver now.
As long as the problem didn't influence the team's performance, it wouldn't be a problem. Del Bosque is such a great coach, no matter how hard the problem is or the internal conflict (especially after Ronnie's coming, the problem with Moro and so on) He has proven that Real Madrid is still Real Madrid, one of the best team in Europe Hope everything goes well for Madrid
Madridista must be greatful of what the coach doing for their team
