Barcelona president quits his position

[emezico]

The nightmare may have only just begun for Barcelona as the Spanish champions attempt to repair their shattered image following the resignation of president Sandro Rosell.

While Rosell is certainly not the first president to quit – only last month Sevilla's Jose Maria del Nido was imprisoned for embezzlement and breaching the course of justice – never before has such a powerful football figure done so over a scandal related to a transfer of this scale.

Rosell insisted at his farewell press address that the allegations are "unfair" and "everything that happened in the transfer of Neymar was correct".

Barca bought the Brazil international for a fee of €57.1 million, but only €17.1m of that found its way to Santos and the mystery surrounding the "missing" €40m has left blood on the Camp Nou carpet.
