MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona have announced that they have created a committee in order to ascertain whether or not they are required to hold a vote of no confidence against the current board and its president Josep Bartomeu.

Earlier this month "Mes que una mocio" (More than a motion), a group of members supported by candidates for next year's presidential election, gathered over 20,000 members' signatures in order to set up the vote.
